I don't think this plan supports P2P. You're still on the free plan with the VPN.
Edit: Looks like I was wrong. I remember needing to switch to a better plan to get the P2P but I guess I was wrong.
Edit 2: There is some inconsistent information on the Proton site regarding what is included in each plan and this seems to be the source of our confusion in this thread.
Edit: Proton has REMOVED the P2P tick from the VPN on this plan since I took the screenshot below. That sucks.

I have asked. You only get VPN Free: https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/112988334950564963
This is correct
Update: I have used Mail Plus since before Proton VPN was a thing, and have never been able to P2P download--Proton should make this clearer

Yo I see you on your link that you are right. I stand corrected. Maybe. This link says something different and so I'm not actually sure what's correct. Let me know what you think. It seems like there's some conflicting information

Interesting. That's a support article so is less likely to be up-to-date than the pricing page, but that being said I'm on Unlimited and don't know what the Plus plan provides with certainty.
Yeah you must be right with that pricing page. I think it's also unclear what is offered in terms of VPN when you actually try to purchase the Mail plus plan. At any rate, lots of ways for people to be confused about what plan includes what.

Is this for Mail Plus or Proton Unlimited? I pay for Mail Plus, and have continually gotten the "P2P is blocked" page whenever I try to redownload the Ubuntu 22.04 ISO--maybe I should complain
Although looking at the VPN section, it does appear that the Free and Mail Plus plans have the same checkboxes, so perhaps I am reading it correctly
The column with the ticks is for Plus not for Free, so yes you should definitely complain to support.
Now this is fascinating--I'm seeing no ticks in Plus! Maybe it varies by country (located in Canada, but I think I pay in USD)
The tick is gone for me too. Well that sucks, I guess they updated the page.
