  1. What is the point of VPN profiles, if you cannot save the most essential connection settings into them?

    When I use the VPN for everyday web surfing, checking emails, or streaming Netflix, I do not use features like split-tunnel, port-forwarding, or NAT moderation.
    When I use the VPN for P2P file sharing (torrent), instead, I do need to activate the three features I just mentioned.

    Therefore, at the moment I have to open the application settings and change these three manually every single time.

    What is the point of allowing users to setup connection profiles for different purposes, if you cannot save essential connection settings that are clearly an advantage for some of those purposes (that you designed…

  2. 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…

  4. Add existing Android settings to Android TV

    Today, there is no "Settings" section in Android TV app, which means it is impossible to activate features like NetShield, which would be very convenient to avoid ads on TV.

  6. Reconnect to next best server

    Occasionally I have a slow connection to the "optimal" server or the quality of the connection changes overtime. I would love a single click button to connect to the next best server and not automatically reconnect to the one I was just connected to like it does when I manually cycle it.

  7. VPN default profile

    VPN default profile. I use VPN for work and created a dedicate profile for it. Unfortunately there is no way for me to select the default profile, so whenever it conennects it takes the first fastest server making me change to the profile. I would like to have the possibility to change the default profile.

  8. 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?)

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  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.

  12. Split tunneling for macOS

    For Mac, split tunnelling is available from the browser's plugins. We should be able to do the same from proton VPN app itself. The best if this can be configured as a template so you can link it to any existing connection or profile

  13. Block Malware by maintained database (not just dns)

    To my understanding you now only block malware based on dns. I would think it would be very nice if also ip addresses of bad actors would get blocked by using realtime databases of such attackers.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Add "configuration files" bundles for Plus/Tor/P2P

    I need to ensure i'm always connected on a "Plus" server, (for geo restrictions). For now i have to set one "Plus" server from "Standard server configs" list.

    Currently, 4 lists only:
    * Country configs, it will automatically pick-up a random server in your chosen country, whatever its type (Free, Plus, TOR, P2P, ..)
    * Secure Core configs
    * Free server configs
    * Standard server configs (you choose an exact server)

    Replaced by (all below are still sorted by country)
    * Any (former "Country configs")
    * Specific-server configs (former "Standard server configs")
    * Secure Core configs (no change)
    * Free…

  18. [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…

  19. 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.
