  1. Support stealth protocol on Windows

    Dear Proton team,

    I recently bought Proton VPN pro and it is working fantastic on my phone. As an Iranian user of Proton VPN I have trouble connecting on Windows. I have to try for ages to connect to a server.
    It works great on my phone using stealth protocol.

  2. Needed features for IRAN

    Hi from Iran
    As an Iranian, I can confirm Stealth protocol is one of the rare protocols that is still working, many Iranians are willing to pay for the premium and Gift the premium version to the ones who can't afford it so that these features will be helpful:

    1)Crypto payment (it's critical!)
    2)Promo codes especially for people in Iran
    3)Add an option to buy the premium subscription and send it to another account as an gift

    Thank you for standing with us ;)

  3. Please Support Split Tunneling on Linux

    Split Tunneling is not currently officially supported for Linux. This feature is a must for me. The ProtonVPN tooling (both cli and gui) is not up to par with the MacOS and Windows counterparts. Please show us that you care about the Linux community.

  4. vpn accelerator and vpn stealth on GNU / Linux

    Develop these applications for the desktop on Linux.
    It's not normal that these applications are not available on Linux for a paid client.
    GNU / Linux is globally open-source, free and fight for the privacy and freedom in the digital world.

    Best regards

  5. Automatically enable vpn on public or compromised Wifi's

    Offer a switch to make Proton VPN automatically connect to its services when it detects that you are connected to a Public or Compromised Wifi.

    This can be useful if you don't want the VPN to turn on in your home wifi, but you still want to turn it on when connected to a public wifi.

  6. Register-free access to VPN (critical for countries like Iran)

    In countries like Iran it is very complicated to use proton vpn for very strange reason : it needs registration, and because proton VPN is blocked you CAN'T register. It is very critical thing for countries that block vpn very hard. Recently proton VPN released Stealth protocol. I think it's good idea to let users connect before registering, allow 50-100MB traffic, it is enough to register.

    Once again, for people in countries with strong censorship it will be life saving. Please do it, Stealth is the only protocol that works in Iran.

  7. use DNS with DoT (dns over tls) or DoH (dns over https)

    This is critical because the most people use a DNS with their own ISP.
    The DNS can leak their true location.
    Your vpn solution is not complete without DNS encryption.

    And please don't forget Linux not just Windows, Apple or Google.
    Thanks

  8. Parental control filtering

    I'm using Proton VPN at the router level. It would be very interesting being able to customize downloaded VPN protocols to block certain type of websites or even specific classic websites or apps, like YouTube, Facebook, BeReal, nudity, violence etc. Yes it can be done on the router but if the VPN was providing such DNS filtering it could be more efficient.

  9. Transform Proton VPN to Proton SPN

    I discover that future is SPN and not VPN and I think Proton need to go in this direction. You can discover what is SPN here : https://safing.io/blog/2020/01/22/how-the-spn-compares-to-vpns/

    Please think about it.

  10. Provide Netshield option for parental content filtering (e.g. username+f3)

    It does not seem possible to use DNS based parental content filtering when connected to Proton VPN and it's DNS servers.

    Add family filtering as an additional NetShield option? e.g. +f3?

  11. Shadowsocks proxy

    Dear Proton team,
    As an Iranian user of Proton VPN, I have trouble connecting to ProtonVPN even on stealth protocol. The only way to connect to VPN servers abroad is to use Shadowsocks proxy. Even with HTTP proxy and socks, the connection is not established. Recently, Argo VPN released an update that made it easy to connect to its servers using Shadowsocks proxy. You can see a picture of the program environment and its Google Play address below.
    If possible, add Shadowsocks proxy to Proton VPN in its programs.
    Thank you in advance.

  12. 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…

  13. VPN default profile

    VPN default profile. I use VPN for work and created a dedicate profile for it. Unfortunately there is no way for me to select the default profile, so whenever it conennects it takes the first fastest server making me change to the profile. I would like to have the possibility to change the default profile.

  14. separate password for VPN

    Please make it possible a separate password for VPN. Other family members are using VPN, don't wanna share the password used for mail/drive/calendar. I know the 2FA can make some difference, but still deeply dislike it. I have installed Wireguard apps, and used different config files, but it is very limited to one server/or one set of settings.

  15. Rotate VPN country on a schedule

    I would like to have the option to have my VPN change the country on a set schedule. For example, every 10 minutes I would like to change countries automatically.

  17. User Defined Server Rollover Limit

    Issue: regardless of type of internet use, like browsing, reading news, watching videos, etc, there are an increasing number of times (w time of day and app popularity) that I notice huge lag. I check and see that the server is at 80% or above. If I change server, problem solved. I would LOVE to set a usage limit that, when reached, switches to the fastest available server! I feel like it ought to be implemented already, actually. So, if it's not being worked on, then I think that this would greatly benefit both users and servers from getting bandwidth…

  18. Linux systemd-networkd Wireguard DNS config

    Please add a flag to generate Wireguard configs which work with systemd-networkd. Especially the DNS settings are tricky. To get it to work I always have to replace the DNS config with:

    PostUp = resolvectl dns %i <dns server ip>; resolvectl domain %i "~."; ip route add <server ip> via <iface ip>; sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disableipv6=1
    PreDown = resolvectl revert %i; ip route del <server ip>; sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable    ipv6=0

    I believe this is a quick fix and it would make using wireguard configs easier.

  19. Smart Locations (url-specific VPN) for browser extension

    Zenmate has a function called Smart Locations for its browser extension. You can have the extension switched either on or off for the browser, but the extension has the option to automatically activate for specific URL's you have designated as a Smart Location with a specific country location for each URL. That is, you could have one browser instance running where different tabs would appear to be connected to a different server as per how you designate the individual url's (i.e. geo fenced US content in one tab and geo fenced German content in another tab).

    This feature is unique…

  20. On IOS, add a shortcut that can let you change settings within the app.

    For Moderate NAT and other settings within the app, add shortcuts that can turn those features on or off. If the connection has to restart, then provide a warning to the user. I think this can be helpful for online games that require p2p servers and, for example, a shortcut can be made that whenever the app/game opens, Moderate NAT enables, and when the app has been closed, Moderate NAT will be disabled.
