  2. Show server latency

    without knowing if I'll get good latency makes people hesitant to subscribe for premium plans. Let people browse the servers and see the latency they get even if it's locked out for free users.

  3. Option to exclude free servers (for subscribers)

    Somewhere in the settings or connection page, please provide a way for paid subscribers to exclude connecting to FREE servers when not selecting a specific server.

  4. Add a censorship-resitant technology such as V2RAY or UPD-over-TCP.

    Mullvad VPN uses Wireguard obfuscation (UDP2TCP). IVPN on iOS uses V2RAY. Those protocols allows to reliably bypass censorship. Proton on the other hand only has Stealth, which is unreliable and often disconnects.

    Request : Add a censorship-resitant technology such as V2RAY or UPD-over-TCP.

  5. Detect when a server has high latency or slow speed and automatically change servers

    Sometimes my connection speed seems to become very slow. I often disconnect and reconnect to re-establish a decent connection speed. It would useful if profiles allowed for an option to automatically change servers when high latency or slow speed is detected.

    The option could select to reconnect to the best server in the same country or region or globally - based on a function of latency and speed.

  6. Dedicated IP for personal plans

    It is an option for business users and would be a nice add for home users. My wife is sick of all the capchas and blocked sites from the VPN. I have been using Proton mail since 2019 and the unlimited since last year. Had to switch back to mail only until you add the dedicated ip to home users at a reasonable cost.

    Thank you for the consideration.

  7. Submit Linux package updates in official distro repos

    Proton VPN is open source and uses well-known and established components of the NetworkManager stack. Due to these two things, there is virtually nothing standing in the way of the Proton VPN team from building and submitting packages officially to Linux distributions like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, EPEL, etc. Proton VPN is further enhanced by packaging upstream by increasing the availability of Proton VPN software packages in the global software package mirroring network (deterring censorship) and benefiting from improved transparency and openness by building packages through distribution-supported build systems, which are often reproducible.

    The policies of most distros are friendly to…

  8. Detect DNS leak and warn ProtonVPN users

    An encrypted DNS (Called DoH - DNS over https) is said by you (in the later linked article) to "prevents our software from being able to see the DNS queries. This makes it very hard to block or reroute them."
    causing DNS leak, which can be considered a serious privacy compromise IMO.
    https://www.dnsleaktest.com
    https://ipleak.net

    It seems to be too severe not to warn user about it in case it is doable from the side of your application. I guess your app tries to read the DNS request and if is encrypted, it fails and can do some action, like displaying…

  9. Re-enable access to API

    Until recently, users could access the API (https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals) to filter servers based on various criteria (e.g., country and server load) to ensure connection to a server that isn't overloaded. This ability was removed within the past few days. Support replied with the following:

    Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Public access to the https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals endpoint is no longer available due to internal changes. What you were using previously was not officially supported, and you can either use our native application to access the servers and their load, or manually download config files for a manual connection from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads. If you need any

  10. Use Quantum-Resistant Cryptogtaphic Algorithm

    OpenVPN uses TLS for encryption, Quantum Proof Algorithms including the four selected by NIST are provided by liboqs. The library is already present in repositories of many Linux Distros. liboqs is integrated in TLS, means no additional work is required for the client side. This would be very easy to implement in The VPN.

    Much better alternative would be that Proton makes it's own Algorithm. It would be a good way to add it as an optional feature in the initial stages for testing.

  11. Allow profiles to select a city on macOS/iOS

    This is already available with Windows and Android, please bring this existing feature to macOS and iOS.

    It's especially useful for users in bilingual countries, where only being able to select a country at the profile/quick connect level often lands you on a server in a city that speaks a different language (and thus causes websites to default to the wrong language).

    Selecting by city is a tedious manual step on these platforms, and is annoying to have to do by hand every time.

  12. Exclude unwanted countries from the list of random and fastest servers.

    It often happens that in random or fastest mode, a connection is established through servers in countries that are not desirable for many people.

  14. Real Quantum Encryption

    For all Apps here are a few post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that are being considered as potential replacements for current cryptographic standards:

    1. Lattice-based cryptography: This includes algorithms like NTRUEncrypt, Kyber, and NewHope.

  15. Feature parity between Windows/Mac and Linux

    I've started using Proton VPN in Windows, and it's a great app, full of resources, with great graphics, many resources, ability to auto-start, start minimized, auto-connect to a profile... The Mac version also looks very similar to Windows'.

    However, recently I changed to Linux (Pop OS, Ubuntu based), and although I had no problems installing the GUI version of the app, it does not even remotely resemble the Windows/Mac version. It's a very, veeeeeeeeery simple app, without the majority of configuration options present in their other OS's counterparts.

    Proton VPN team should dedicate more time to make the Linux version…

  16. IPV6 support in WireGuard Configuration Files

    IPv6 is supported when using certain desktop apps, and so all of the IPV6 endpoints must also exist for the various VPN servers. However, they are omitted in the WireGuard configuration files when downloading directly (for example, for using wg-quick or other WireGuard application directly).

  17. Improved feature list for Apple TV

    Apple TV works OK but is bare on features compared to the Android TV app. Would like to see a more complete feature list for the Apple TV, such as split tunnelling, choosing with server within a country, which Protocol etc.

  18. Add the ability to set and use shortcuts for the Proton VPN browser extension

    Browser extensions support (at least on Firefox) to set custom keyboard shortcuts for certain actions.

    It would be great if Proton VPN browser extension had shortcuts for actions such as adding the current website to the split tunneling list.

  20. Linux app for arm64 GUI and CLI

    Hello, like many users, I use a low-power ARM64 machine for P2P downloads via Torrent. The problem is that there isn't a Linux ARM64 application yet, which prevents me from setting up the Port Forwarding as explained in the guides, since I have to use it through WireGuard instead of the official app.Is this release planned? Thanks.
