I can't remember since when but they removed the ability to select a few different servers in the free version.
Yes, for me it seems to go to either Washington State or Illinois (Chicago) when I click Change server. I'm located somewhat in-between the two server locations. Good speeds on my end, especially when connected to the Chicago server, which is pretty much the same speed as my default ISP.I can't remember since when but they removed the ability to select a few different servers in the free version.
The free servers are selected automatically and they claim always the fastest speed.
For me most of time the free servers in the Netherlands as that is near to my location in Germany

@silversurfer a computer I infrequently use go online has protonvpn 3.2.10. Before connecting to vpn server I checked About and so see 3.3.2 is available. But it is just spinning and not updating, so then wondered do I need to be connected to vpn server for it to update, so connected but again it is just spinning. Other times (perhaps different computers) I've seen proton update very quickly. Any insight about its updates...

Fixes an issue that prevented some users from connecting with Stealth protocol. Fixes an issue that prevented some users from logging in.
Mine updates automatically, I use the paid version. There's a setting for this if you look for it, maybe you don't have it on or maybe just a glitch with that computer.@silversurfer a computer I infrequently use go online has protonvpn 3.2.10.

yeah I have the paid version too (a remnant business account I've held on to). The computer I was using today, I rarely run vpn on it, but like to keep things updated. I had deleted Mullvad that's been bugy (for me) lately. After I started protonvpn, go to left corner, About opens the window showing updates, and today it was checking ad infinitum in a looped spinning spiral.
I use occasionally Proton VPN Free for Windows, here usually it does update either automatically or there are shown notifications for new updates available.@silversurfer a computer I infrequently use go online has protonvpn 3.2.10.

I opened Proton vpn last night, connected and it did autoupdate fairly quickly so could have been local anomaly yesterday afternoon... thanks!
