@Sheep_Overboard Sorry i have no solution, but am just commiserating. Several years ago i tried near the end of whichever my current VPN was at that stage. Initially only the free option, but its speeds were so poor that it really gave me no reasonable opportunity for fair evaluation, so i bought a sub [can't recall now if it was a month, or a year]. Back in those years i was still a Netflix subscriber [it was before they began actively supporting / platforming ], & despite the other benefits of use, its primary purpose for me was NF . At that task it was hopeless, pathetic, so i instantly lost interest. I then had two substantial PITAs:

  • they were utter arseholes wrt refunding me when i cancelled my plan. It took considerable corro, pleading, & ultimately threats to report them to Consumer Affairs [ofc a hollow threat, as they'd have done nothing], which eventually worked. Until this unsavoury experience, i had respected Proton.
  • deleting the Linux app itself was straightforward, but i had a bugger of a time regaining network connectivity afterwards. It's too long ago now to recall actual specifics, but it was most inconvenient, & tbh also somewhat alarming.

Good luck, co-victim!
