Has anyone tried Proton VPN? (lemm.ee)

I’ve been using Express and had a great experience so far, but I may want to try a Proton subscription for cloud space and more emails. It also comes with a VPN service but I’m a little leary on trying something new. Any thoughts on Proton VPN?

Why would they be hostile to that idea? It allows you to run the VPN only on your browser instead of your entire system which is sometimes preferable.

That was my point. They (forum users, I don't think actual developers) insisted that it's a middle solution. That I could use the application and whitelist only the browser and that some JS could bypass the VPN and get the real IP.

I got two years of Nord for that same reason, then two of Proton that's about to end, so this was probably around 4 years ago.
