2. Show server latency

   without knowing if I'll get good latency makes people hesitant to subscribe for premium plans. Let people browse the servers and see the latency they get even if it's locked out for free users.

3. Add a censorship-resitant technology such as V2RAY or UPD-over-TCP.

   Mullvad VPN uses Wireguard obfuscation (UDP2TCP). IVPN on iOS uses V2RAY. Those protocols allows to reliably bypass censorship. Proton on the other hand only has Stealth, which is unreliable and often disconnects.

   Request : Add a censorship-resitant technology such as V2RAY or UPD-over-TCP.

   Sources:

   https://github.com/mullvad/udp-over-tcp
   https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core

4. Detect when a server has high latency or slow speed and automatically change servers

   Sometimes my connection speed seems to become very slow. I often disconnect and reconnect to re-establish a decent connection speed. It would useful if profiles allowed for an option to automatically change servers when high latency or slow speed is detected.

   The option could select to reconnect to the best server in the same country or region or globally - based on a function of latency and speed.

5. Submit Linux package updates in official distro repos

   Proton VPN is open source and uses well-known and established components of the NetworkManager stack. Due to these two things, there is virtually nothing standing in the way of the Proton VPN team from building and submitting packages officially to Linux distributions like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, EPEL, etc. Proton VPN is further enhanced by packaging upstream by increasing the availability of Proton VPN software packages in the global software package mirroring network (deterring censorship) and benefiting from improved transparency and openness by building packages through distribution-supported build systems, which are often reproducible.

   The policies of most distros are friendly to this since the Proton VPN Linux pieces use Open Source licenses. A community-supported Fedora Proton packaging SIG already exists.

   Implementing this is both a matter of technical expertise but also being able to navigate and collaborate with other communities. Proton engineers would submit package updates directly to Linux build systems and benefit from being stakeholders in the distribution end of software production. This also gets Proton engineers closer to user feedback and bug reports.

   (Not to be biased, but I get copied on bug reports for Proton VPN bugs in Fedora and I am not always sure how to best route that feedback from distro users back to upstream developers.)

   One idea for the Proton-hosted repos is that they could still be provided, but for beta or experimental users. This way, Proton still maintains a mechanism for shipping updates extremely fast to end users without distro build systems and update policies, but the users who participate with those repos could be closer to the in-development versions, while users subscribed to updates on their favorite distros would receive them normally through stable update repos.

6. Detect DNS leak and warn ProtonVPN users

   An encrypted DNS (Called DoH - DNS over https) is said by you (in the later linked article) to "prevents our software from being able to see the DNS queries. This makes it very hard to block or reroute them."
   causing DNS leak, which can be considered a serious privacy compromise IMO.
   https://www.dnsleaktest.com
   https://ipleak.net

   It seems to be too severe not to warn user about it in case it is doable from the side of your application. I guess your app tries to read the DNS request and if is encrypted, it fails and can do some action, like displaying a warning inside a main ProtonVPN page, linking user to a tutorial on how to fix it ( https://protonvpn.com/support/dns-leaks-privacy/#dns-over-https or similar ).

7. Re-enable access to API

   Until recently, users could access the API (https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals) to filter servers based on various criteria (e.g., country and server load) to ensure connection to a server that isn't overloaded. This ability was removed within the past few days. Support replied with the following:
   
Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Public access to the https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals endpoint is no longer available due to internal changes. What you were using previously was not officially supported, and you can either use our native application to access the servers and their load, or manually download config files for a manual connection from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads. If you need any additional assistance, don't hesitate to contact us at any time.


   Please give us some ability to programmatically determine server loads so that we can run ProtonVPN on our routers more efficiently. You will likely lose subscriptions based on this change in policy without a more efficient alternative.

8. Use Quantum-Resistant Cryptogtaphic Algorithm

   OpenVPN uses TLS for encryption, Quantum Proof Algorithms including the four selected by NIST are provided by liboqs. The library is already present in repositories of many Linux Distros. liboqs is integrated in TLS, means no additional work is required for the client side. This would be very easy to implement in The VPN.

   Much better alternative would be that Proton makes it's own Algorithm. It would be a good way to add it as an optional feature in the initial stages for testing.

10. Game Server Proximity Connection

    This feature could enhance the gaming experience for VPN users. Upon initiating a gaming session, the VPN would identify the location of the game server to which the user is connected. The VPN would then select and connect to its own server that is geographically closest, or lowest ping to the game server. This process ensures optimal latency and performance by minimizing the distance data has to travel between the VPN server and the game server, potentially providing a better gaming experience.

    Functionality:

    1.  Initial Connection: When a user starts a game, the VPN detects the connection to the game server.
    2.  Server Analysis: The VPN identifies the physical location of the game server.
    3.  Optimal Server Selection: The VPN then scans its network to find the server closest to the game server’s location.
    4.  Seamless Re-routing: The VPN automatically switches the user’s connection to this optimally located server.
    

    This approach could improve gaming performance for VPN users, particularly in multiplayer online games where latency is a critical factor.

11. Ugly Green. Offer additional VPN app theme color choices.

    The new redesign is great, except for the ugly grandma kitchen green theme. Also, why is the best look you could come up with is some fading fog of war looking filter as if it's a video game from 1997?

    If you're going to stick with the fog of war look, then at least allow us to choose the colors.

    I'm cool with all of the other green, it's just that fog look you got. It's really the only theme color that dominates the entire space. I'd much rather that filter be disabled, but if you won't let us disable it then at least let us change the color.

16. Integration in GL.iNET firmware

    Hi

    You already integrated Proton VPN into Vivaldi browser (wich is closed source and looks pretty shady). So can you consider integration your VPN into GL.iNET firmware?

    I will be really happy with this. And many GL.iNET customers too.

    You can see that it is required by this links:

17. All VPN servers on a global network (a similar feature to Surfshark Nexus)

    Currently on Surfshark they have options such as RotatingIP (without any disconnections) thanks to Nexus. This is their name for having all of their VPN severs connected on a global network. This also can change the users server incase of over crowding without any loss of service. (For more info on what it does you can google Surfshark Nexus). Would be nice for a similar feature on Proton.

20. Android TV Kill Switch

    Hi,
    I am a paying user of the Proton Unlimited pachage and I am very happy with Protons VPN. However, I use an androidbox on my tv and I am missing a killswitch!
    Please add this as soon as possible because this is a real deal braker for me and I will probably switch back to Nord VPN if this is not fixed in the near future. I dont get why such an importand setting is not implemented in the android version of your VPN! I read many complaints about this issue on Reddit and people are looking at other, bettter VPN services that have this option.
    Keep up the good work and I hope you will fix this very very soon.
