Misleading description

Open dvn0 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

In the short description of the app is written Free Swiss VPN. This point is re-iterated in the full description: ✔ SWISS-BASED - Your data is protected by some of the strongest privacy laws in the world.

These assertions directly contradict the note at the end of the app description: Note: Free users can only connect one device to Free servers in Japan, the Netherlands, and the US. Also checking the website reaffirms this to be the case - https://protonvpn.com/support/free-vpn-trial/

The ProtonVPN Free plan does not have a duration limit, but the access is limited to Free servers in 3 countries: the Netherlands, Japan, and the US.

This appears to be rather misleading as one would draw the conclusion the application is using Swiss servers unless you read the "fine print".
