Originally when I signed up for proton unlimited they advertised it as being a student discounted plan not a coupon… Now I go to renew my membership, and it's suddenly a coupon and not a plan anymore…. My account shows it as being a plan not a discount or coupon. It shows it as being a discounted plan. This is what is pushing me away from their service. Now going back to a free plan and using Mullvad VPN once again.

I don't know if I would consider this "dishonest", it seems like maybe there was some misunderstanding or miscommunication happening.

Either way, if you think it's too expensive you could just use the free account. I pay for an account but I also have a couple of free, extra accounts and they work perfectly fine.

Why not just say this to them instead of complaining here? They might just show you some understanding and meet you halfway. I use all of their products and have found them to be invested in keeping their customers happy 🙂.

Mulvad seems be the only BS free VPN these days. I also don't know of any others that you can pay with mailed in cash...

This is more beneficial to me this happened because Mullvad has a better Linux app
