Websites and apps are not loading, sometimes buffering on connecting with majority of servers like Netherlands, Japan etc… available on free tier.
I am also getting this message/popup while running proton VPN for long time i.e. “Device limit exceeded, join plus…” though i am using single device. lol
I know I know nothing comes for free and you need to compromise lot of stuff when it comes for free.
But I just want to address there are more issue with free tier proton vpn after the recent update (keeping timeout for changing servers, not able select server of you choice among the 5 free tier servers like previously).
I am thankful for you people increasing freebies like extended drive space from 1gb to 5gb and added two other countries i.e. Romania and Poland for Proton VPN free tier but at the same time changed the other features like mentioned above. This make me feel that old one is far better compare to now.
Afterall, these are maybe the tactics used by the company on persisting to buy their plus tier.

Latest information we’ve got is this:
"Hi! We made some changes on the Free plan to improve connection speed:
We've added new free servers in Romania and Poland (on top of the US, Netherlands and Japan). Now, you are auto-connected to the fastest server available by default (which is preferred by 99% of users). Load balancing formula has been improved.The default connection will give you the best experience available. You can, however, choose to change to another randomly allocated server.
If you want to access country-specific content, we recommend checking out our paid plans, where you can choose between 70+ countries: https://protonvpn.com/pricing. Our free VPN has no ads, no logs, and is as secure & private as our paid plans. It’s made possible thanks to the support from our paid users, NOT your data. With that in mind, certain features are necessarily available only on our paid plans."
