  1. Subject: Suggestion for dedicated IPs at Proton VPN

    Dear Proton VPN Support Team,

    I hope you are well. First of all, I would like to praise you for the excellent service you provide with Proton VPN. I am an enthusiastic user of your VPN services and appreciate the security and anonymity they offer me when surfing the Internet.

    However, I recently noticed that some websites tend to block or complicate access from VPN servers. This can sometimes be frustrating, especially if I want to access information or services hosted on certain websites.

    In this context, I would like to give a suggestion. It would be great if Proton…

  2. Snooze function

    Some websites block the usage of VPNs it would be great if we could snooze the VPN for a few minutes without having to disconnect and then reconnect manually.
    Would be extra good if it could be done with a right click on the taskbar or system tray icon.

  3. Make an official package for arch linux instead of the AUR package

    Why is there not an official arch linux package at this point? I think it would be awesome to just enter "sudo pacman -S protonvpn" in order to install it.

    It's not like arch linux is an lesser known operating system.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. split tunneling for domain name

    Current split tunneling allows IP address and application. The IP address is an unreliable way to open a bypass to an external website.

    Please add the ability to split tunnel to a domain name. This would help with various sites that block VPN Server IP addresses.

  8. Different region coverage for India other than New Delhi

    India has a wide variety of languages, the most common being Hindi, Telegu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. The connection to New Delhi may be impacted by Netflix restrictions for region-specific phrases in particular. More people watch Indian films in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telegu than in Hindi. So, instead of just connecting to New Delhi, think about connecting to those similar states in India.

  9. Pop!OS GNU/Linux Support

    Please provide Pop!OS gnu/linux support.

    Why: System76 is becoming one of the leading gnu/linux computer providers in the US!

    Note: the following error currently shows when attempting to connect via GUI and CLI:
    “ "Setting up Proton VPN. An unknown error has occured. Please ensure that you have internet connectivity. If the issue persists, please contact support.". I contacted support and the team could not provide any help due to lack of Pop!OS support.

    Here are the currently supported versions as of 20DEC2022:
    Debian 10+
    Ubuntu 20+
    Mint 20+
    MX Linux 19+
    Kali Linux

  10. 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.

  13. Stealth for 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

  14. 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 ;)

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Portmaster ( firewall ) could be important. It is free and open source. We can, perhaps, add it to the Proton VPN.

  18. 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.

  20. Start ProtonVPN minimized in tray (Linux)

    When you open ProtonVPN, and then close it, an applet stays active in the systemtray.
    It would be nice to be able to start only the applet at login.
