But this time it didn't just throttle me. It permanently broke my connection. The VPN says "Connected" but it times out every 1-2 seconds. I connect, browse for ONE second, then timeout. Then it reconnects. Then timeout. Over and over. I can't even load a single webpage. I am using wikipedia only! I can't access my password manager because it sees this connection flapping and websites thinks I'm a botnet hacker and Proton is DELIBERATELY making me a botnet and hacker to others. Like its hacking me and thinking i deserve death. I can't access my bank because it sees the same thing. I've been talking to their support for 4 days. It's AI. Or tech illiterate humans when you discover it's 110% AI and use AI again. I keep telling them their DDoS guard has tarpitted my account. But they literally cannot understand. They keep saying: "Try a different network" "What device are you using?" "Can you send logs?" “different server bro?” “captcha issues and link to proton faq (never said captcha once)?”
I SENT LOGS ALREADY. I explained the issue DOZENS of times. I told them I need engineer/similar or anyone above basic support who can fix my account or give me a temporary account so I can access my bank/pass. They refused. They won't give me a temporary account. They won't escalate to a human ever. I begged. I told them it's an emergency. I offered to pay just for a temporary account. They said no. They'd rather let my mother suffer than spend a penny of bandwidth or escalate to a human. The reason why I want a temporary account is because Proton will ban you if you make another account, and I cannot risk that especially if it happens now since I rely on Proton, and the free version has limited security and speed and won't work with my setup, so if they flag the temp i can easily say it was made by support.
This isn't just "throttling." This is deliberate connection sabotage. They make the VPN appear connected so I keep trying to use it, but they kill the data flow every second. It's like a breathing machine that keeps turning off and on to torture a patient. I can't even submit support tickets properly because their own website thinks I'm a bot when I try to use their VPN.
sorry if my messages are disorganized I am just so angry that I can barely type and do much. it's almost 4 am and i can barely type and explain succinctly and for that i apologize. i just want a human at proton. next reply will have pictures logs etc
