I see this block every time I open my email. Is this a bug I’m facing or is this the new normal?

    The advertising is the worst thing about Proton. I’ve made them aware of this several times but it just keeps getting worse. They started putting ads in the VPN app now.

    As far as I’m concerned, as a paying customer I shouldn’t be subjected to ads but, what’re ya gonna do?

      There are ads in the VPN app? I have never seen an ad on any Proton service, except for occasional emails or banners around upgrading my subscription.

      Then again, I’ve been a premium subscriber for a while now.

      I’m paid and have never seen an ad. Are you on an oddball subscription?

        Here is the add

        I just got it again. Note how Unlimited is grayed out, because that’s the subscription I already have. Also note the “ProtonVPN” at the top. This is a nearly full screen ad that just popped up when I opened the app.

          That’s odd. Are you on OSX or is that just a window theme? I run on Linux so maybe the ads aren’t pushed to that set of apps. I’d reach out to their support to confirm if this is a bug or expected behaviour. Also to voice how annoying it is if it is expected behaviour

            I’m on MacOS. As I said in my original reply, I’ve expressed my dissatisfaction several times.
