Select country on free plan
I want to be able to select the country at least, I don't care if I cant choose the server or not, but its annoying having to connect to a place on the other side of the world. I most likely will stop using this VPN if this is not added back.

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.

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…

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.

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.

Sort the list of countries by proximity
This would be really useful for those of us who download via Torrent, every time I want to download via Torrent I have to manually search for the country closest to my country to get the fastest download speed. Which makes me have to scroll down quite a lot, when you do it so many times it ends up being very tiring and that's why I would like the country closest to mine to be at the top of the list.

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.

Browser Extension Split-Tunnelling: allowlist AND blocklist
Add the ability to choose which websites DO use the VPN (not just which websites should be excluded from the VPN tunnel).

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.

Basic VPN plan
My current VPN service, which includes Google VPN and additional features, costs $25 per year. While I have the free version of ProtonVPN, I don't use it because it lacks servers in my home country, causing issues with accessing some local websites. I would consider switching to ProtonVPN if they offered a paid tier just above the free plan with a reasonable price, ideally including 1 or 2 overseas servers and 1-2 local servers for accessing local content.

Further Profile Customization - Select Sever by State/Province and City
Hey all, after using Proton VPN for years, I love the features and options. However, one option I'm finding I wish I had was further server profile customization.
For instance, if I make a profile for the fastest server in the USA, I cannot select by State. However, when using family streaming accounts on a VPN, I find selecting a local State/Province helps with speed and accessibility. If my family is in Texas and doesn't normally use a VPN, but I log in to the account while connected to a Chicago VPN server, I find the streaming app doesn't work…

Android improvements (country names, profiles, metrics, random connections)
A posted this on reddit, but I figured I'd put it here as well.
I've been a longtime user of ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and am incredibly grateful of everything they've done to make privacy accessible to more people. I also really love the new ProtonMail app. But ProtonVPN has problems.
To some it up, it seems like functionality has been sacrificed for vague aesthetics.
Specifics:
1. The name of the country you are connected to is in tiny text down near the bottom of the screen. This is even worse if you are connected to the "fastest country". Instead most…8 votes -

Do NOT put version number into the path (folder name) of executable binaries!
Hardcoding the version number into the path (folder name) of executable binaries in ProtonVPN, Proton Mail Bridge is generally a VERY BAD IDEA and poor software engineering. Every time these programs update themselves, I need to manually update Windows Firewall rules, as - according to Proton Support - it is not possible for their software to update firewall rules automatically...

Diskless Servers on SecureCore
Maybe this is already being done as of recent, but i can't find confirmation anywhere that the infrastucture is configured in such a manner.
Would increase my already high trust witrh Proton, for ProtnVPN, to confirm they run their servers diskless, at least in the SecureCore.7 votes -
CVE-2024-3661 (TunnelVision)
Make sure ProtonVPN is safe against CVE-2024-3661 (TunnelVision)!
According to the researchers responsible for the finding: "Using network namespaces on Linux can completely fix this behavior."

Split Tunneling: Possibility of choosing apps by active processes
Currently you can only choose apps by searching for .exe files on system or IP.
It would be great to be able to select apps by active processes.
Ex: It's very difficult to activate the feature in MS Store apps. You have to look for the files that are HIDDEN by default. And it doesn't always work.
Via active processes would be much more practical and faster.Other VPNs already allow this in addition to the way currently implemented by Proton.
