  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  5. Qnap and synology NAS support

    An app for Qnap (and Synology?) NAS would be really helpful it is impossible to use Qnap's vpn manager on third party app so using it as a client through OpenVPN is useless in a lot of situations... As of now no VPN provider has an app for it even on unofficial repo.

  6. [Feature Request] Connect on Boot

    Hello, I would like to suggest adding a <Connect on Boot> function to ProtonVPN Desktop App.

    But first, let me give a drill-down on what is Connect on Boot.

    🔺What is Connect on Boot?🔺
    A. This allows the VPN app to load and connect before the user successfully login on the Computer Login Screen.

    B. This is completely different from Connect on Login which requires the user successfully logged in to the computer and for the VPN app to successfully load on the program startup queue before it starts connecting.

    C. Connect on Boot is the perfect companion for users…

  7. Android override GPS Location

    On Android, as a complement to the VPN it will be spectacular to have an enhacement where the GPS gets override and match the location of VPN location (as an enabled option).

    Ex. apps will think GSP location is same as the VPN location.

  8. Control the blocklists used by Netshield for ad blocking

    Please add the ability for users to control the blocklists used by Netshield for ad blocking. Most other tools (such as PiHole, Next DNS etc) allow users to manually:
    1. Specify which blocklists to activate
    2. Add sites to a white list (this is often needed to get newsletter sign-up forms and login forms on subscription and e-commerce sites to work properly)
    3. Add sites to a blacklist (custom blocklist).

  9. iOS 14 Home Screen Widget

    It would be great to be able to add a Widget to the home screen on iOS that includes:
    - connection status (as an easily visible background color would be great)
    - quick-connect buttons if disconnected (to profiles and/or recently connected servers)
    - a disconnect toggle (can it include a confirm notification?)

  10. Dynamic IP address

    IP addresses of servers should be changed on daily basis as it will not get detected as a "VPN IP Address" by sites who block internet connections when they see shared IP address.

  11. Support connecting over http/socks5/Tor bridges

    Although ProtonVPN may not directly provide bridges, it would be convenient for users living in places with strong internet censorship to have ProtonVPN over their censorship circumvention proxies, which might not be secure. Routing traffic through those insecure proxies to ProtonVPN will provide their accessibility to the outside internet securely.

    Usually, Shadowsocks/V2Ray/Clash, the famous censorship circumvention tools, provide http/socks5 proxies locally. ProtonVPN could connect to the Internet over them.

  14. Add ability to exclude country's servers for quick connect

    When I use the Quick Connect feature it always connects to servers in my country (Russia), but in my case, it is useless because I use a VPN to access servers that are blocked in my country. And because of this, the Quick Connect feature becomes totally useless. Could you add an option in preference to exclude servers that are located in the configured countries from quick connect servers?

  15. Allow adding multiple users to an VPN account

    Please make an option to add other users on the same network for the VPN service.

    My family wants to use VPN at home but I don't want give each person my username and password to log into the ProtonVPN software. I'd rather have a simple family option where you can assign permission to an extra person or two to the same account, at least per network.

    Hell, I'd even pay a teensy bit extra too for that feature as I think it's a perfectly reasonable request.

  16. Latency display

    When you click on a country, the list of servers for that country appears. The only thing missing is the latency you are getting from that server. For example, I click Estonia, I see all the Estonian servers. Right next to each Estonian server, there would be a number telling you what ping you're getting, like 150ms. I think this feature would be a useful one to add because choosing a faster connection would be easier if you could see the latency. Also, with this ping, for the box that shows your internet speed over a time period of 60…

  17. Netshiled status in Linux Cli

    Hi,
    It would be nice that when we use the command pvpn s to get the status on the connection, that the status of netshield was also available.
    We have the protocole UDP/TCP, Kill switch status, but not the netshield.
    Thanks a lot.

  18. Disable VPN when on trusted Wifi Connections

    I love ProtonVPN. I use it on my Android phone, and have it installed on my home router to protect all my devices on my home network. When I connect my Android phone to my home wifi network, I would love for my ProtonVPN app to sense the new connection and disconnect it on my phone--so that I only use the mobile app when I'm out in the world on 4G/5G and public wifi connections.

  19. Disconnect VPN for timed period

    My default is to leave ProtonVPN connected. If I disconnect it, its usually for a specific task, like trying to resolve zoom glitches, accessing a site that isn't available with the VPN on, or trying to speed up a large file download. 99% of the time I do not remember to turn ProtonVPN back on after the task is complete, and I discover its off 1/2 - 1 week later. I would love the ability to turn off ProtonVPN for a set time period: 1/6/12/24 hours etc and then have it resume the fastest connection possible.
