Does using the browser plug in count towards your total devices?

Per the title, if I have 2 browsers loaded and in use with proton web plug in, do those count as “two” devices against my total allowed count of 10?

thanks

Yes, each browser in which you use the extension counts as one connection.

If you’d perform a search with your title + protonvpn, you would find: Each browser running an active VPN connection does count towards the limit of ten simultaneous VPN connections. https://protonvpn.com/blog/browser-extension/

I’m pretty sure I read that yes it counts as another device towards your total.

By simultaneous do you mean as used at the same moment in time? I was afraid to make more than 10 installations in total. Without using them simultaneously. Same desktop uses couple OSes. Couple media players. Three mobiles. Couple TVs. Laptop. Of I use them in different time lapse - won’t it count?

Yes, simultaneous VPN sessions. You can install it on as many devices as you like, but only once you establish a VPN connection to Proton it counts as an active VPN connection.

If you were to just install and run Proton VPN on your router and then connect all your devices to the router, it would count as 1 VPN session, and all these devices would be routed through the same VPN tunnel.

Wow! You’ve opened my eyes!
