ProtonVPN + Tailscale compatability
Hi Proton team,
I really appreciate how fast Proton iterates. One recurring pain point for privacy-conscious self-hosters is VPN + Tailscale coexistence.
When Proton VPN is active (especially with kill switch), Tailscale stops working properly. This forces users to constantly disable one or the other, which defeats part of the purpose of running self-hosted services privately.
Would it be possible to improve split tunneling / "Allow LAN access" so that it reliably works with Tailscale (and similar tools like Netbird or Headscale)? Even a dedicated "Overlay network mode" or better documentation would help a lot of power users.

Support Windows MSIX / MS Store apps for Split Tunneling
When selecting applications to be allowed through or denied for split-tunneling on windows, only the raw path to the exe is supported.
The raw path of MS Store apps like Windows APP to replace RDP has the version in the path to the executable.
It also has seamless updating. So it randomly stops working since my work needed the Windows App to be not going through VPN.Please add this functionality to the UI / Engine to allow at least resolving the path to the MSIX / MS Store app.
You can do this in powershell or similar for example…

Mock gps
A vpn feature known usually as mock GPS.
It would have different options such as masking your GPS location to match your vpn ip address or to a specific location.Such as the browser extension cloaq on desktop or the Mock GPS Location app on the Play Store.
There is also a simple version included in Surfshark that only uses the matching option.21 votes -
Perpetual NetShield Statistics
I think being able to see the total amount of ads blocked and data saved perpetually would be pretty cool. I'm especially referring to the android VPN app as the statistics reset every time the VPN is turned off or changed.

Feature for Proton VPN (gtk) App
Proton VPN App creates an icon in the toolbar / app-bar, where hovering mouse over it tells "Proton VPN". That is good for the beginner, but the thing I usually want to know is 1) Where am I connected [CH-#123] or if I am not connected, 2) to tell [Proton VPN not connected]. At the present I have to open the "Show" to see the connection. Even more information could be useful, but I have no ideas for that.
Secondly I want the "Show" appear just below the "Disconnect" option. "Quit" can well be the last one.

Linux - Include client options to GUI
Currently the linux client have several interested features that could be great to have in the GUI.
For example be able to connect to fastest secure core server, or random secure core (--random -sc), random p2p, etc.
It could be an option to click connect, like the other ones, or a param that could be added in the Autoconnect or Pinned tray icons, like the already existing "Fastest" option.For example:
1. SecureCore -> --securecore
2. Random -> --random
3. RandomSecureCore -> --random --securecore
4. P2P -> --p2p
5. RandomP2P -> --random --p2pOnly the GUI because it has support…

Missing data transfer notification option
In the notification area, only the country and total upload/download and speed since the start of using the application are displayed. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to specify, for example, daily download/upload or weekly or monthly or select a date from when to when. This option would be great for tracking a monthly data plan

Proton VPN being blocked. Blacklisting.
Many websites are starting to block Proton's VPN. It's getting harder to use. Sometimes, I have to disable the VPN just to do transactions. It's almost as if well-known domains are blacklisting certain Proton domains or IP addresses. If I use Norton VPN or log in directly through my ISP, there are no issues. The weird thing is that the older version of Proton VPN was more stable.

Hide VPN usage far too complicated and uneffective
I wanna be unblocked every time I'm using my VPN, but it seems to me that even if I follow the dedicated guide, it's almost impossible to hide my VPN, so I'm unable to see what I want where I could if they cannot see my Proton VPN.
I wish it were a service too effective and far simpler than it is ATM.1 vote -
Kill-Switch with Split-Tunneling for Mac
Apparently ProtonVPN has implemented this feature in Windows:
Proton removes restrictions on simultaneous feature usage on Windows
- Users can now use Split Tunneling, Kill Switch, and NetShield altogether
- Split tunneling is currently in beta for Mac and Linux usersIf you’ve been using Proton VPN on Windows, you’ve likely encountered a frustrating "pick two" scenario. For a long time, the app forced users to make a compromise: if you wanted to use split tunneling to route specific apps outside the VPN, you often had to disable other critical security features.
According to an X post by the company,…

PC Performance
I would appreciate if the Windows VPN Client could get a "minimalist" or "performance" mode with reduced footprint on system resources. Even on a modern high end PC and especially when using other Proton apps at the same time, multitasking and working, it adds up.
Maybe we could get a setting for a minimal UI without all the fancy elements and animations? Even closed to the sys tray and being in the background, the VPN uses over 400MB RAM + dedicated GPU VRAM while constantly drawing GPU utilization causing unnecessary interrupts. It's undesireable when using the VPN while doing other…5 votes -
Split-Tunneling App List
The current implementation of Split-Tunneling is good but I ran into a problem adding XBOX GamePass Games to it because the folder permissions does not allow Proton to open the .exe Files. I tried it by adding access rights for my user and for administrators but it still does not work.
My feature suggestion: Add a list of installed or currently running apps that we can easily select for split tunneling.
Or maybe a seperate Feature to add all XBOX App/GamePass Games to the exclusion5 votes -
Split
Split tunneling is extremely useful but could benefit greatly from another level of splitting so that apps could be put into a home country only vpn tunnel, switched to when opening. This would allow some apps that don't work under a vpn to work since geography often seems to be the issue. I realize this could mean a reconnect, but this ensures staying on vpn and not forgetting to re-enable it to the preferred default other country. When it switches, a second notification could effectively remind that a switch occurred (since the standard notification is there forever and so becomes…

Allow connecting via CLI as non-root
Previously, I could run the CLI as my standard user on Arch without issue, so I added it to my
~/.zprofile, ensuring that I would always be connected to a VPN server. My login flow is to login to the TTY and then start a GUI from there.I updated my system on 2026-05-23, and since then, protonvpn fails with "unexpected error." If I open a terminal emulator after I start a GUI session and use the CLI from there, it prompts me for root privileges. I am the sole user of the laptop, but I do have a…

VPN Status on Android Control Panel
Instead of having the status of the connected VPN shown through notifications only. Can we also have the option to expand the quick connect button in the control panel of Android to show the status.
I don't need to have it keep showing in my notifications but would like to be able to check once in awhile by swiping down to my control panel.

Add Wireguard PSKs
It'd be nice upon config generator if a PSK was generated for stronger cryptography when using Wireguard.

Advanced Kill Switch breaks NetworkManager after reboot on Linux (Fedora 44 + other distros)
The Advanced Kill Switch on Linux has a persistent bug that breaks networking after a system restart. I experienced this multiple times in the past on Fedora 44 (currently using Standard Kill Switch).

ProtonVPN WireGuard config renaming
I need to use ProtonVPN configs on multiple devices and multiple servers (because they get blocked very often) and it would be more comfortable if I could rename the configs already made so i could later change the names from jumbled mess to an actual normal name
