Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • I have it since the first release, great way to handle DNS queries and keep everything clear and secure, fast responses, easy management and plenty of options.
  • Simple setup Multiple deployment options Good prices Good blocking Intuitive layout Good support.
  • The layout is easy to navigate and configure. Advanced DNS settings are available but the interface isn't complicated. Service itself has been super fast and reliable. Support has been amazing. Very quick and knowledgeable. Provisioning scripts work great.
  • Easy deployment and set up. Fantastic, responsive customer service. Easy and intuitive admin portal and UI. Reasonable pricing.
  • -Easy to configure and set up -Works seamlessly with Apple iPad's -Accurate results (it does what it is supposed to at all times) -Fast DNS resolution -Very functional web interface -Lots of up-to-date supporting documentation -Packed with features and filter sets that just make sense (and actually work!) -Actively being developed, maintained, and supported -Support is fantastic and great customer service! -Fair pricing
  • This is a great tool for serverless environments that need DNS filtering. The entire team that we have worked with is always very responsive and it's a pleasure getting to know their product better.
  • Incredibly feature rich and powerful tool for a fraction of the cost of the competition. Great blocking features with regular updates meeting more and more needs monthly.
  • Best support you can find. These guys know their stuff. Easy to use. Easy to manage. Easy to deploy.
  • Been using the business beta for about 3 months now after being a user of the consumer service for 8 months. The service is very different from other DNS platforms I used before (Umbrella, dnsfilter) and there is a bit of a learning curve but after you "get it" there is no going back. DNS resolution is very fast I'm seeing about ~5ms and DNS-over-HTTPS3 is supported. I don't know any other DNS service that has this. Onboarding was very straight forward, we use Ninja and the provided tutorial was very useful. I onboarded 250 clients in a manner of minutes, seriously. We use this for malware blocking and some general content filtering and it does the job. No false positives so far.
  • This is a very highly customizable DNS platform, that is not overly complicated. Can block malware, trackers and even ads! Browsing with it enabled makes browsing the Internet a lot more palatable. Works on mobile without any software and the redirection feature is quite excellent as it eliminated the need for VPNs for our company. Router deployment was especially easy. We use Ubiqiti, and the process was copying a single command and running it in SSH on the router. A+

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Worked well for the first few months. Offered several free IP sites around the world. Promises high level of security. Looks sharp on the desktop.
  • None. I have a paid subscription to PVPN for two years and it was fine. I am also a subscriber to the email.
  • • The interface is one of the best I've come across. It shows you a world map with all the possible locations to connect to. • The free version is the best among all VPNs I've tried. No advertisements, and no daily limit. • Excellent security and privacy. I can safely say that I haven't had to share personal information while using ProtonVPN. • Flexible subscription plans.
  • It provides a seamless web browsing experience without compromising personal data. Browse internet without exposing identity. Reliable and fast servers with low ping. Cross-platform application availability.
  • Free and open source Strict no logs policy High-speed connections (up to 10 Gbps) End to end encryption Available on smartphones and all desktop OS
  • It offers the best free online privacy protection tool. ProtonVPN has multi-platform support, gives easy to secure and browse the internet. Encrypted VPN to secure from public wifi data stealing.
  • Open Source Good connection speed No logs policy No bandwidth limitation even on free plan Available on all devices - Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS Free subscription available
  • It makes very simple to bypass and access blocked content. In their privacy policy it tells that that never sell it save your data which is very rare in VPN service. No data loss or ping issue while playing online games.
  • I got ProtonMail's VPN to better protect myself online, and I'm happy to say that unlike some of the other free VPN solutions out there, ProtonMail actually works! I tried looking up my IP address before and after, and the geolocation feature definitely works. I also like how ProtonMail, on Windows desktop at least, lets you decide if you want all your traffic routed through its servers or just some.
