Linux: SSH tunnel to a server, then OpenVPN through this tunnel
Raw OpenVPN is often blocked. So one simple option would be to start an SSH tunnel to the VPN server port 443 or 80 or 53 like this:
ssh -N -D 127.0.0.1:10000 -oUserKnownHostsFile=<you provide> -p 443 <username>@<vpn_host_IP> &
then
sudo openvpn location.protonvpn.tcp.ovpn
ovpn config would contain setting:
socks-proxy 127.0.0.1:10000This costs nothing but ROI is tremendous: all users of operators where OpenVPN protocol is blocked will be yours.

More profile customization with independent features (MacOS 13+)
I would love if we could create a profile with different configurable and automatic combinations allowed as well as multi-select options. So for instance say I wanted to connect to a p2p server in whatever country (don't care) I cannot currently just do that, I need to specify P2P then specify a country rather than random or fastest option (for country selection).

Static Port forwarding
Please change the dynamic port forwarding to static port forwarding why:
In my BitTorrent client I have +200 torrents, dynamic port is boring because EVERY TIME I connect to a server I have to change the port in the BitTorrent client settings and the re-announcement is really long for all my torrents.
Please add to the ProtonVPN dashboard panel or in the application, the possibility to add static port like MullvadVPN do, example for the ProtonVPN Plus plans add the possibility to add 10 random forwarded ports.
Plus static forwarded port may work if you use the manual configuration: OpenVPN…

Reinstate IKEv2 protocol for iOS
IKEv2 is native to iOS.
I know there a security issues with the way iOS implements this protocol on iOS.
But… since often ( in my case as well) a lot of apps offer services which are actually a vpn protocol. Like an adblocker for instance.
Now… I use to be able to setup 2 vpns simultaneously. One protocol and one personal. This because IKEv2 is native to iOS.
Now I constantly have to switch!
Please use a middle ground in this case.
Reinstate the IKEv2 as a protocol option, but warn users of it’s drawbacks.
Everybody wins.
Thanks

Two Design Suggestions
It's difficult to distinguish "On" or "OFF" on the Mac Menu Bar Icon.
And the larger screen color should have a light and dark option. While the purple color is dramatic, it's extremely difficult to read.

Improve screen reader support
As a screen reader user it can be fairly tricky tabbing around the interface to get access to all the various sections and areas of the app such as viewing the server list by country. You can get most things done through Windows command prompt which is excellent but for most people it would make life so much easier if screen reader accessability was taken into consideration during development of the app. For that reason I find it quick and simple grabbing server configs from my account using either Openvpn or Wireguard for windows as the interfaces and menues in…

Unblocking every outbound port on protonvpn's https proxies (web browser addons)
Some websites use a port which is not 80. And, for some reason, those are blocked by ProtonVPN's HTTPS proxies used in their browser addons.
This is a request for unblocking it.2 votes -

Revert changes
VPN accelerator, LAN connections, split tunneling, and Moderate NAT, most important being able to select a country (US, Japan or Netherlands) now you have zero choice and get put in a country with no data privacy laws for example.
The marketing people really hit Proton hard over the last few years you see more and more features being eroded away from free users. I thought the paid users supported the free users in their business model? was that not the ethos of Proton VPN years ago? Everyone has the right to privacy?
The blatant limitations being imposed makes you wonder…

More comprehensive blocking abilities
Blocking of ads and trackers is an important part of maintaining user privacy and the ability to browse the internet without being constantly surveilled or provided with skewed content based on the decisions of algorithms.
NetShield is cool, but it would be great to have a more comprehensive blocking capability in Proton VPN similar to the likes of AdGuard. Currently, it is clunky to use AdGuardd or DuckDuckGo tracking protection together with VPN because most platforms allow only one VPN connection at a time and a "fake" VPN is necessary for the blocking services to work.
Important features for this…

Add the option to disable the connected taskbar icon overlay
I have a very minimal taskbar with custom icons for everything, and this doesn't fit the theme. I'm sure there's others that have a similar problem and would like to be able to turn off the icon overlay for when connected. I think the option to have only a disconnected overlay or both would be useful too. I'm always using the vpn so the normal state is the one alerting me with an icon and the abnormal one isn't.

Add a toggle to your auto renew feature
Add a toggle auto-renew to your subscription plan. The lack of it gives a semi-predatory vibe that feels out of place in such a trusted and professional company. I understand this may cause losses but your product needs to be more than just a pretty UI. People get VPNs because they don't trust that everyone is continuously monitoring their data and you need to make your company reflect the trust that your customers are looking for.
For your consideration,

Add more servers in Brazil
Brazil has been facing some political problems because the president and the highest authorities of the Brazilian justice (STF) have an alignment of ideas with communism and dictators, it is essential that Proton seeks ways to circumvent future barriers in Brazil because they want to censor the internet and social networks, telegram for example has been experiencing problems with some frequency in brazil, and in addition brazil is a continental country, the current servers are all located in São Paulo, I suggest that they add more servers distributed in the main capitals of the country to improve connection speed (Rio…

Add criteria options for Quick Connect
The "Quick Connect" button connects to the fastest available server; however, not all servers are made equal. If I want to connect to the fastest server that supports streaming, P2P, or Tor (or some combination thereof), then I have to go to the server list and manually compare available servers, then pick the one that is best. This is especially concerning with P2P, since even different servers in the same region don't consistently support it, and there's no easy way to see the supported features of the server you're connected to without finding it in the server list.
It would…
