I understand your frustration with server selection. It’s important to connect easily. By the way, how much is frosted lemonade at Chick-fil-A? That’s always a refreshing choice!

BECAUSE I LIVE IN VENEZUELA COUNTRY WHERE EXIST AN DICTACTORSHIP STATE
IM GONNA LEAVE THIS VPN BECAUSE IT IS NOT FREE

Stop using it then, it's already kind enough of them to have this generous free tier.
You'll be back un no time, as other free providers just does not work.

The Proton VPN free plan is anything BUT generous at this point. As I said in my earlier comment, restrictions on free users are fair but not when they're things like this. I got an account banned because it connected me to a different country than the one I lived in. That's not cool at all. This change significantly harmed my love and trust for Proton. They're doing it to themselves, too. It'd be as simple as them adding the ability to pick which services we subscribe to instead of this stupid all-or-nothing policy where you either subscribe to ONE service or all of them.

Dude, you already get a LOT by using the Proton generous free plan. So consider upgrading to a paid plan if you actually need this.

There are a bunch of "free" VPNs that are risky and where you are the product. Maybe those have the feature you are asking for. Or don't use a VPN at all.

Man, as a paid user I lost most of features also. I hate what they did.

I need my VPN in EEUU

As a free plan user, I even asked my friend for the old version of ProtonVPN so that I could select the countries. Although the old version only has three countries to select, it is still better than the new version.

I want to be able to select the country This is incredibly depressed.

discovered this after signing up..... what the **** gives???

NEVER heard of a vpn that doesnt at least provide basic choices for free accounts. ****

На бесплатном тарифе каждые 5 минут сам отключается и выкидывает что делать

I disagree with a majority of these comments. I can't think of a single privacy centric VPN that even allows a free trial on their fastest servers. I can only think of Tunnelbear, which isn't good, and you get like 500mb of their fast servers that they pick for you. Privacy isn't free, just like freedom.

If you want to test the speed, shell out $10. You get what you pay for and there are privacy centric payment methods. If you can't afford that, head over to Mullvad (no free trial period) or iVPN (no free trial period). Both of them are like $5 and my only other VPNS that I use.

If you're wondering about the speeds:
On US servers with about 1gig speeds at home I tend to get around 20mbps, which is not the best but not the worst and since it is included with my Proton suite I use it. Fine enough to stream and download and have been with slower providers. For the privacy and everything else bundled in, I'll take it.

Really slimy, removing this option for free users when it is the main VPN use case. I expected better from Proton.

If selecting country isn't possible, then how about selection world region? N/S Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia?

It would maintain the flexibility of proton slotting free users into servers with capacity, while not routing the connection to the other side of the planet.

nice choice of countries and my free account keeps not signing me in at the moment but sends me to mail. instead why:

As a paying proton mail user that only rarely needs VPN country selection is the much more interesting feature than speed. If I would rely on VPN as a daily driver I would pay for it to get the full speed.
As a completely free user (i.e. not even paying for mail) I'd say any restriction is fine but I lack a plan differentitation for paying customers that are not needing VPN a lot.

The choice to remove the option to choose what country I connect to makes the free Proton VPN completely useless for me. I primarily used it to connect to my secure services when forced to use public WiFi, but unfortunately my secure services block international connections without prior authorization given and travel plans logged. Forcing me to. the Netherlands 100% of the time makes my use case completely invalid. How can this e good for users when it completely goes against our best interests. Knowing that you violated the contracts of your paid users when doing this as well destroys the long-standing trust I've had in Proton. I'd planned on subscribing to SimpleLogin for email masking, but knowing this and knowing they are a Proton company, I'll be checking into alternatives.

Not really selling the paid VPN service if you cannot test the usefulness from different countries.

This is incredibly frustrating I want to be able to select the country
