Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I'm pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

If Proton cared about privacy for VPN for clients, they would remove the login requirement and make ProtonVPN an anonymous services.

If there are concerns about abuse for the network, that's way the login, how could they figure that out without seeing people's traffic.

I use RiseupVPN and CalyxVPN for being open source and anonymous.

Until ProtonVPN removes login in their free client, it is not an option.

Ok, I accept that ProtonVPN is open source. The free service is not anonymous, that's a deal breaker for me.
