Hi, can't reproduce on my end. What OS and app version are you using? Did you report it from the app, or got a ticket number with support?
Thanks for your response! My version info is below. I sent an email to Proton support around the time I made this post. (This is speculation, but given how many upvotes the post has in a low-traffic community, maybe I'm not the only one experiencing this.) I will share here what I learn from Proton support
Mac OS 11.3.1.
Proton VPN 3.3.4
Just as an FYI, I saw this post and upvoted it, despite not having run into this issue, so others might have done the same. I like to encourage visibility of posts like this so people get answers and I think it's good for Lemmy.
Best of luck!
Thanking you :)
What protocol were you connected with ?
IKEv2, I think. I'm not super familiar with this stuff though
That is the issue. IKEv2 has technical limitations that don't allow the control of such statistics. Try OpenVPN or WireGuard, that should be working.
Hey OP! I edited what I said before. Adguard for desktop would be great as an extra layer of protection for the adblocking and malware blocking proton gives you.
Thanks :)!
I've noticed that the ad-blocking in most VPNs can't stop most advertisements from loading. Edit...However, I've been using the adblocking in proton for a long time now and even when I did a trial run without adguard installed, I noticed that zero ads loaded in windows and the count of how many things got blocked was really high in a matter of minutes every time I made a new connection to one of proton's servers....edit end
I'd recommend adding adguard for desktop to your setup. There's a lifetime license available $80 USD for 3 devices on the lifetime plan..
Maybe even start using brave browser with brave's adblocking and fingerprint blocking set to aggressive as well as adguard for desktop.
Thanks for your suggestions!! I currently use the Duck Duck Go extension with Firefox
If you prefer firefox based browsers, go with librewolf and turn on the letterboxing feature.
Thanks for the idea!
AdNauseam is better than ublock. Use its strict blocking if the regular blocking doesn't work.
@EmperorHenry @streetfestival @Firefox is a horrible browser if you want to block ads and protect your privacy. It’s funded by Google. Try Librewolf instead.
I know...I'm pretty sure I just advocated for Librewolf.
