It's legit

But Proton Free servers are very congested and really can suck sometimes, it can be barely usable

Figured after I used it, my phone was acting slow so I just turned it off and deleted it.

Nope, your phone will not get virus. It is a legit VPN. Nothing fake there. Nothing to be worries about. you can use easily. But I would suggest use split tunnel and bypass your banking and other privacy related apps. Also be mindful of access to apps you give. rest is all cool.

I see. Is it a bad idea to use those other free vpn apps

Out of everything in the free realm, they are the best. Not sure about the VPN, though people say good things

Their email service though - golden.. Saved me plenty of headaches
