Better technlology to bypass websites that actively block VPNs
I am increasingly facing websites that actively block people when connecting via VPN. I see this trend increasing and it is a threat to privacy.
There was already a feature request in this regard labeled as "finished". Funny enough, the website mentioned in that request still doesn't work with the VPN enabled: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/46860823-bypassing-vpn-blockers-option
It is really easy for websites to see that the connection is via a VPN and we need better technology design to avoid being blocked for the wrong reasons.
I certainly don't want to connect to banks or other sites without a VPN connection, especially when in…

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.

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.

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.

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…

Linux variety
Official ProtonVPN Linux App according to https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup/ supports the following distribution combinations:
* Debian GNOME
* Fedora GNOME
* Ubuntu GNOMEThis is very one sided, each of them uses GNOME. I think adding variety with XFCE and KDE would be useful support.
Debian and Ubuntu are distributions in the same stream supporting more streams for example Arch would be useful.
Or at least target different package managers, the current supported list probably only uploads the package to APT and DNF.
Adding Pacman/AUR and maybe Zipper or Portage would be very useful to support the Linux communities.9 votes -
Split tunnelling would be more useful if it could use URLs and not just IP addresses.
E.g., paramountplus.com has dozens of IP addresses. Manually finding and trying to maintain all of them (even if the platform could handle that many) would be a nightmare. So it's not very useful as it is, with just IP addresses.

Option to manually sort Profiles
Add the option to sort profiles, I dont like to create a new profile and it goes to the bottom of the list when I want it next to a similar one.

Split Tunneling: Two Different VPN Connections Simultaneously
If technically feasible, I would find it great if two VPN connections could be established simultaneously via split tunneling, for example one for streaming and one for everything else, or one with port-forwarding and at the same time a second one without port-forwarding.

macOS/iOS Feature Parity with Windows/Android
The Windows and Android apps often lead the way with new features, and those features frequently never make it to macOS or iOS.
For example, profiles are much more configurable in Windows/Android than they are in the Apple apps. Similarly, if you look at the requests on this site, there are many that are planned for Windows/Android … but will never come to macOS or iOS.
The macOS and iOS apps are surprisingly limited -- you can't even tell what city you are connected to in the macOS app -- and it's frustrating knowing that other platforms enjoy much more…

Option for Gig speed support. Premium is ok
There is a fast-developing trend in US for consumers easily accessing prosumer class high speed fiber for reasonable prices. 5-10 Gb. Mac mini supports 10GbE. USB-C supports 10Gb. Thunderbolt 5 available on Mac... It would be valuable if some of these bandwidth levels weren't bottlenecked at the VPN. My best case seems to be from 10GbE shunted down to ~750 MbE if using ProtonVPN... So the choice is speed OR security? Prosumers are not very price sensitive...

Allow Killswitch to be enabled with Split Tunnel
Currently, the app will not allow you to use the Split Tunnel feature if you have the Killswitch enabled. Having migrated from Private Internet Access, I was used to having this possibility with their client and would love to see this in Proton VPN as well.
Having some exceptions configured to bypass the VPN should not completely block the killswitch feature and open the risk of IP leaks.
I would be okay with the VPN app completely killing my bypassed connections as well, it wouldn't even have to be gracefully respecting those. That would just be a nice-to-have.

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.

Split Tunnel: individual WiFi SSID subnet whitelists for VPN bypass, plus Kill Switch coexistence
Allowing split tunneling to combine with kill switch is a common request, and is pretty important for many people. Also an available feature of other VPN services. This is needed.
Turning off VPN for even a split second in order to access something on your local network significantly degrades the anonymity the VPN was providing you (all local apps get to phone home with the latest connection information, that data shared/sold/crossreferenced with other data obtained while connected to VPN, etc). I do not want a single packet leaving my phone/tablet unless it is protected by VPN -OR- going directly to…

Stop changing RPM repository signing key all the time
Almost everytime I run "dnf update" on my system, the ProtonVPN repository signing keys have changed.
I have to validate them again and again, without knowing if the key I'm allowing is really the good one (I even don't know where to look for the actual one).
I think I'm not the only one trusting the new signing key blindly every because I'm annoyed, which is terrible from a security standpoint.
Please keep your signing keys longer, as every sane repository does.

Change desktop app icon color to indicate connection status
The proton VPN app icon currently shows the connection status by showing a tiny cross sign or a tick, which is hardly noticeable when you have a high-resolution monitor. Changing the icon colour will make it much better. This can even be an option for the user to select the icon they would like to see when the connection is established or disconnected.

Make Proton VPN's Windows UI More Consistent with Mobile Apps
I wanted to share some thoughts on the UI for Windows, it doesn’t really match the look and feel of the Android or iOS versions (though I haven’t used the iOS app in a while, so I’m not sure how it looks now). Compared to the Android app, the Windows version feels less polished.
The font looks outdated, and the unrounded corners on things like the flags and the window itself clash with the design of the app, since there are rounded corners alongside them. Also, it should show the cities of the server location, and have better custom profile…
