2. 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.

3. 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.

4. ProtonVPN Docker App

   It would be amazing to have ProtonVPN natively support Docker.

   There is a github project that had limited support for this, but seems to be broken now that the logicals API (https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals) is depreciated.

   A full featured Docker app would be very much appreciated

5. 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.

6. Peer-to-Peer Mesh Networking with NAT Traversal

   Enables direct peer-to-peer VPN networking, like Tailscale or ZeroTier. This would allow devices on my Proton VPN account to see and connect to each other using private IPs, as if on the same LAN.

   This kind of functionality would be very helpful for cloud gaming, remote development, and device syncing, without needing a third-party solution.

   Specifically, I’m asking for:

   Private IPs for each device on the VPN

   Peer-to-peer connectivity with NAT traversal

   Optional routing via Proton servers when needed

   Thank you for all your amazing work — this feature would make Proton VPN even more powerful.

7. Support for prime video on KDE plasma

   Can add support for streaming website on Linux with KDE plasma dektiop environment.
   Is impossible to use protonVPN to watch prime video if using Linux with KDE plasma (tested on prime video with fedora 42 with the latest KDE/QT version 6.3.5)

8. 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:

9. Auto shutdown when phone put in airplane mode

   I would love for the VPN to automatically stop trying to connect when I place my phone in airplane mode and also have it auto connect when I take my phone out of airplane mode.

   While in airplane mode (with no WiFi services, such as on a flight) the application keeps attempting to connect to a server. This significantly drains my battery, unless I remember to manually disconnect it after toggling airplane mode on.

10. Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware on GrapheneOS

    On GrapheneOS, the updater runs before first unlock (BFU) to grab security patches, but Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware. Enabling it brings up the VPN UI BFU, yet no network ever connects, so updates fail until you unlock the device.

    Repro:

    Install Proton VPN on GrapheneOS (e.g. Pixel 6 Pro 2025.05.15)

    Turn on kill-switch

    Reboot and stay at lock screen

    Watch the BFU updater time out for lack of network

    Impact:
    Devices miss critical patches until next unlock, extending exposure to exploits.

    Fix:
    • Mark the VPN service as android:directBootAware="true" in AndroidManifest.xml
    • Move its config/certs into Device-Protected Storage for BFU access

13. Add DoH and DNS-over-QUIC Support for Custom DNS on iOS

    I'm excited to see that ProtonVPN iOS now supports custom DNS functionality.
    However, I noticed that it currently only supports plaintext UDP DNS queries.
    As a privacy-conscious user who chose Proton specifically for its commitment to privacy, I would like to request support for encrypted DNS protocols, specifically DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-QUIC.

    Privacy Concerns with Plaintext UDP DNS:
    Even when using a VPN, plaintext UDP DNS poses several privacy risks:
    1. DNS Query Visibility: While the VPN encrypts the connection between my device and the VPN server, DNS queries from the VPN server to the DNS resolver remain unencrypted and can be monitored by the VPN server's ISP, network intermediaries between the VPN server and DNS resolver, and the DNS resolver itself if not trustworthy.

    
    2. DNS Hijacking and Manipulation: Plaintext DNS is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks where malicious actors can intercept and modify DNS responses, potentially redirecting users to malicious websites.

    3. Metadata Leakage: Even with VPN protection, plaintext DNS queries reveal browsing patterns and website visits to anyone monitoring the DNS traffic, undermining the privacy protection that VPN users expect.

    
    4. ISP DNS Cache Poisoning: Unencrypted DNS queries are susceptible to cache poisoning attacks, where false DNS records can be injected into DNS caches.

    Why This Matters for Proton:

    As a company that positions itself as "Privacy by Default," supporting only plaintext DNS seems inconsistent with Proton's core values.
    Your users choose ProtonVPN specifically because they trust you to provide the highest level of privacy protection.
    Encrypted DNS protocols like DoH and DNS-over-QUIC would ensure end-to-end encryption of DNS queries, prevent DNS-based tracking and profiling, protect against DNS manipulation and censorship, and align with Proton's mission of making privacy accessible to everyone.

    Feature Request:
    Please consider adding support for DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) - RFC 8484 and DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) - RFC 9250.

    This would allow users to configure custom encrypted DNS resolvers, ensuring that their DNS queries remain private even beyond the VPN tunnel.

14. Device status indicator (how many out of 10 are in use)

16. 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.

17. Extend LAN network through VPN

    Add a feature that allows a desktop (or a home server) to be used as an endpoint for VPN connection, allowing the user to use the internet like they are in its local network. Useful to connect to LAN devices safely without exposing them to the Web and for limited services like Netflix that blocks users from other places to connect to the same account.
