1. Exclude networks

   I am surprised that it isn't possible to exclude networks like my mobile provider and my home wifi in order to save battery power.

2. Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.

   Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.
   On my local network, I have to use a browser to access the settings for my Ethernet box. I could exclude the browser. However, I would prefer to exclude only the Ethernet box URL and be protected for other URLs.
   Note: I haven't found a solution to this problem. My “Allow LAN connections” setting is enabled. It doesn't allow access to the Ethernet box, probably because of the browser session, I guess.
   Thanks

3. WireGuard country config files

   If I want to make a config file from the Proton VPN website and choose to use OpenVPN, I have the option to create a config file for Country, Standard server, or Secure Core. Conversely, if I choose WireGuard (which seems to be the strong recommendation in this post: https://protonvpn.com/blog/old-ovpn-configs), I can only pick from Standard server or Secure Core.

   This may be fine for the occasional ad-hoc connection, but is not ideal when creating a config file for a router.

   The Proton VPN website has the option to "Use the best server according to current load and position" when making a config file. That's what it is right now, but obviously will change over time. Relying on the same server may prove problematic if that's the only server configured and it goes down or becomes overloaded (assuming that Proton VPN and/or VPN client software will try another config if the first selected doesn't work).

   Given (plus tier) country configs are already available for OpenVPN, it'd be great to see the same feature available for WireGuard.

4. Add an VPN endpoint to the Faroe Islands

   Hi Proton VPN team,

   I’m writing to request the addition of a Faroe Islands server to the Proton VPN network. Many Faroese students studying abroad and are unable to acces content from ect. local tv stations.

   CURRENTLY, NO VPN PROVIDER OFFERS AN ENDPOINT THERE, which limits our ability to participate fully in these programs. Due the Faroe Islands small size, not many other countries cover local events there.

   Adding a Faroe Islands node would not only serve the local population (~50 k residents) but also attract a niche market of international students and researchers interested in Faroese culture.

   Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you.

   Best regards

   A homesick student

6. Option to quickly switch to a different VPN server

   About once a day, I resolve some connectivity issue by connecting to a different VPN server. Doing this is almost the only way I directly interact with ProtonVPN. The process often goes:

   1. Disconnect
   2. Connect
   

   But sometimes, Autoconnect will keep selecting the same server. The process then becomes (Android app):

   1. Disconnect
   2. Connect (recognize same server)
   3. Tap "Countries"
   4. Tap search icon
   5. Type city name
   6. Tap options icon next to city
   7. Tap server of choice
   

   My suggestion: If Autoconnect would disregard servers that I intentionally disconnected from (recently), my experience would be a lot better.

8. Please add an option to show current country via mouse-over in the tray

   The topic says it already. Instead of having to open Proton VPN to check which country is active, just hovering over the tray/notification area symbol should give us the info, to which country we are connected.

10. 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.

11. 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:

12. Linux client - AppImage support

    AppImage has a number of advantages that Snap and Flatpak do not have.

    1. Portability.

    2. No dependencies.

    3. Ease of use.

    4. Compatibility with any distribution.

    Supporting AppImage would be a significant step for the development of ProtonVPN on Linux. For example, in countries with high levels of censorship, it can be very difficult to download the ProtonVPN client from the internet without being connected to another VPN service. A portable version of ProtonVPN would solve this problem.

13. localhost SOCKS5 tunnel like in Mullvad

    I would like to see this feature from mullvad in Proton VPN: https://mullvad.net/en/help/socks5-proxy

    Coming from Mullvad. This feature is great. I put it in Telegram and if VPN is disabled the application can't access the servers of this "privacy" messenger. It hides TCP Fingerprint, too. Reducing captcha and other garbage detections from antibot systems.

14. Never Auto Connect to a VPN in My Location

    Inside Kill Switch, I want a check for never auto connect to a vpn in my country.
    Sometimes I connect to country X, but I have connectivity issues which causes VPN to disconnect, then it retries to connect again multiple times.
    When connection is back online, it connects to a VPN in my country, which is exactly what I'm avoiding.

15. Block App Snooping

    Implement a feature that prevents an app from accessing other apps. For example, Google and Facebook apps both keep tabs on what is going on in other apps. Duckduckgo has a VPN that disallows any app from accessing any other app, blocking thousands of attempts per hour.

16. Per-Container VPN Routing in Firefox/Zen

    Enable Proton VPN to define VPN routes not only globally across Firefox—as currently supported—but also on a per-container basis, similar to Mozilla VPN’s behavior. This enhancement would significantly increase flexibility and privacy for containerized browsing workflows.

    Use Case Examples:
    - Personal Container: Connect through the user’s home country to access domestic services such as banking or local news.
    - Language Learning Container: Route traffic via a foreign country to immerse in content and media in the target language.
    - Work Container: Use a dedicated VPN route optimized for workplace access or remote server geolocation.
    - Research Container: Connect via specialized regions to bypass censorship or access region-specific data sources.

    Benefits:
    - Fine-grained privacy control tailored to each browsing activity.
    - Seamless multi-regional browsing within a single Firefox session.
    - More purposeful and contextual VPN usage, reducing the need for frequent manual switching.

    This feature would be especially relevant for the Zen browser, which is heavily based on Firefox and emphasizes the use of workspaces (containers). Integrating per-container VPN routing would perfectly complement Zen’s workflow-centric architecture and empower users with even more precise control.

17. Feature request: Add forwarded port API method

    Problem: There is no officially support method for a torrent client to obtain the currently active forwarded port from Proton VPN.

    Current practices: The only way I've found to determine the port is to scrape the VPN client log. This is not officially supported and thus brittle, not to mention inefficient.

    Proposed solution: Add a lightweight REST listener in the client to respond to API requests. Including forwarded port status, so that a local client can determine if the VPN is currently active, if port forwarding is enabled, and what the current port is. A unified cross-platform client API would be ideal.

19. A system for transfering included/exluded application paths when updating versions of ProtonVPN

    Right now, user's have to go though and manually recompile the list of included/excluded applications(or IP's) when using the split-tunneling feature. This is more than just inconvenient, it is a security risk, opening the door for increased chances of user error.

    The implementation of this feature doesn't have to be complicated and would definitely provide a quality of life increase for the applications user's.
