There is a leak in your Smart Routing Technology that leaks the real server location in the US, and you promote it as a brilliant solution.

This affects an estimated 6.7 million Proton users in LATAM.

On top of the transparencies required in this field, where there are rights of US expats that pretend to show in the country they actually live in and not where they come from.

On top of human rights that could be involved that I haven't even completely considered, there are dissidents expecting to show up from somewhere else.

There is also a commercial impact on international companies' revenues.

FixedFloat and Peach Sarl are two examples, both crypto-related, both with restricted US usage behind Cloudflare's NS. But there are many more.

This means that to connect to either of these companies where I work, I can't use the Quicker Connection Server settings because all LATAM shows as US.

I'm forced to choose a fixed location like CA or IS to access my own company server, with no CTO access rights to whitelist my IP.

Well, at least let me still show from PY on non-Cloudflare-affected websites but on the others.

And give me back a better Secure Core implementation in this app.

There is a quick fix for this:

Even if it's still a partial solution, allow enabling "Secure Core" by default and so at startup from the settings of the Linux GUI app.

I know you are going in the other direction by moving the Secure Core settings from general UI to country- and server-specific settings. But we need general filter settings like we have for any other features, like blocking level.

This way, we will be able to work on our servers without having to change from fast connections, showing as IS or CH, and not be blocked by the US, even if we are all in PY. I handle 5 accounts and 2 teams, and we are considering switching at least from your VPN business plan.

We are already implementing our team solution in Caaguazú, PY, for IPs to be whitelisted on all the team servers, VPSs, and barebones. And you lost a potential client with your extra offer for dedicated IPs.

Thank you.
