Fix the Proton VPN app - high ram use and lag
See here - https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1h7g8vs/why_in_the_name_of_god_proton_vpn_takes_so_fing/. Proton VPN uses hundreds of MB RAM. And lags horribly when opened.
Please investigate and fix this. I assume you're using some sort of HTML framework. Maybe swap to something designed for desktop and speed - like Avalonia or Flutter.

The ProtonVPN icon in the menu bar
The ProtonVPN icon in the menu bar would be more visible to have a Green Check when connected and a Red X when not connected.

Additional Sorting Features in App
Current sorting options mean that if you create a new profile or pin a server in the recents tab it automatically goes to the bottom of your list and can't be reorganized. Being able to manually organize those in order to move a new profile to the top of the list or to move a less frequently used server to the bottom of the list would be appreciated.

Circumventing Censorship and Connection Issues
In regions with strict censorship, NAT mode, campus networks, and other specific environments, a proxy is often required to log in and connect; moreover, success largely depends on luck, and speeds are quite unstable.
I have reviewed the latest proxy protocols—such as hy2, xhttp, and anytls—which have strong anti-censorship capabilities. Why not combine the features of these protocols to develop a new protocol that is compatible, stable, and fast? Based on these protocols, a new configuration file and protocol could be developed, allowing users to choose whether to route traffic through this protocol when logging in, sending the traffic to…7 votes -
Please add an option to change graphing from KiloByte/MegaByte to Kilobit/Megabit
I prefer seeing network traffic in bits instead of bytes. That way i dont have to sit there and fiddle with dividing by 8 to see the total bit traffic instead of byte traffic. thank you.

iOS, pin my custom profiles and show the name
Create a profile, be able to pin it, and see the name that you named it. Right now the name is useless.

Secure Core on Map
When Secure Core countries selected in the list -> only show secure core connections on the map as well and connect to them through the map. The old Desktop Version had that.

Cidr Notation for split tunneling
I currently have multiple subnets, and adding every single host I'd need a split tunnel is impractical. By allowing CIDR notation on the configs, we could allow 10.0.3.0/24 and have a whole slice of the network bypass the VPN.
As a plus, adding a per-network switch possibility would avoid my 10.0.1.1 (for instance) to be allowed without a VPN on public WiFi, for instance (which ties nicely to the "trusted networks" feature request)

Kill switch should stay on with split tunneling
I use Proton VPN at the router level, so my home Wi-Fi is already protected. On my laptop, I’d like to exclude my home network from the VPN using split tunneling without disabling the kill switch.
Right now, having both the router VPN and the laptop VPN running creates a double VPN, which slows down all internet traffic while I’m at home. If split tunneling worked with the kill switch enabled, I could use my home network normally without the slowdown, and when I leave home and connect to any other network, the kill switch would still protect me—no manual…

Connect Proton VPN on more than one device
Be able to connect to Proton VPN on more than one device with the free plan! I don't think its fair we have to pay to have my phone and laptop connected at the same time. This should be a standard security feature across all devices. This way I can browse the internet more safely by hiding my location. Please consider making Proton VPN available to connect to more than one device with the free plan!!

One-Click App Selection for VPN Split Tunneling
I am requesting an enhancement to the current split tunneling feature by introducing the ability to select applications from a dynamic list of currently running processes. The existing method requires users to manually locate and select executable files from the system directory, which can be inefficient and cumbersome. Incorporating a user-friendly interface that displays running applications—similar to NordVPN’s approach—would streamline the process and significantly improve usability, particularly for less technically inclined users.

make it possible to use on a Macbook Pro with a Brave and/or Safari browser
I have been having increasing difficulties accessing websites with my Proton VPN turned on -- I updated the Brave browser this morning and suddenly I am denied access to nearly every website unless I turn off Proton VPN, which pretty much makes it useless.

Desktop app should show an icon in the toolbar that shows open connection, connecting and disconnected
Right now when reconnecting to the VPN the icon shows a pad lock (green) or a open pad lock (red) when connecting to the VPN.
I would like to see it changed to show icons as:
- Green Locked pad lock (Only once connected and data is passing through)
- Gray Locked pad lock (Connecting to VPN)
- Red Open pad lock (Not connected to VPN)

Forward More Than One port
Currently with dynamic forwarding a single port can be forwarded for P2P connections. Sometimes more than a single port is necessary (an obfuscated port). It would be helpful if we had the ability to forward multiple ports within the GUI rather than searching for third-party solutions.

Subject: False positive blocking ConvertKit
Hi Proton Team,
I’ve noticed that ConvertKit email links are being blocked by NetShield even when set to “Malware only.” Specifically, these domains fail to resolve while NetShield is active:
ck.page
convertkit-mail.com
convertkit.com
These are legitimate marketing/redirect domains used by ConvertKit, a major email service provider. With NetShield disabled, the links work fine.Could you please review and remove these domains from the blocklist so they are not blocked in Malware-only mode?

Reconnect option for active profile.
Please add an option to reconnect the active profile. Right now, if I'm using the Fastest Country profile, and I see that my server load is high, I have to disconnect and then connect again, leaving my network open for a second.
I assume that a proper reconnect button would avoid any lapse in VPN coverage.

iOS widget background: remove gradient
I’m grateful for the iOS vpn widget, but the gradient background is an eyesore.
Other apps use a consistent, flat background in their widgets, dark gray in dark mode, and white in light mode. This means widgets from different apps still look nice when arranged into a “dashboard” next to each other — until I add the Proton widget, with its gradient-fade background.
I suppose the gradient is part of the Proton branding but it gets in the way here and should be skipped.

Change the Firefox extension icon based on the split tunneling status on the current domain
Currently, when the user has enabled split tunneling in the ProntonVPN extension for Firefox, the extension icon always remains green even on sites where the VPN is disabled. This can be confusing, especially if the user does not remember which sites they are using split tunneling on and which they are not. In my opinion, it would be much clearer if the icon showed a green padlock on sites where the VPN is active, and a red open padlock on sites where split tunneling disables the VPN.
This request applies both to normal split tunneling and to Inverse Split Tunneling…
