1. VPN exclusion/exlude template for the surveillance/14 eyes/5 eyes countries

   On Android, I can exclude selected countries to be used in a Quick connect mode (fastest server). I always wanted to exclude surveillance countries listed at https://protonvpn.com/blog/5-eyes-global-surveillance#14-eyes (more than 22 countries).

   Why not to simplify the task of adding 22+ countries by creating a template "Surveillance countries" which user can tap and confirm the list of countries to be excluded (not connected to)?

3. Advanced Kill Switch breaks NetworkManager after reboot on Linux (Fedora 44 + other distros)

   The Advanced Kill Switch on Linux has a persistent bug that breaks networking after a system restart. I experienced this multiple times in the past on Fedora 44 (currently using Standard Kill Switch).

4. Nevada

   Please add servers back to Las Vegas. It was a huge reason why I chose proton back in 2021. Im from Nevada but work out of the state which causes all sorts of issues when browsing or trying to log into financial institutions.

5. ProtonVPN is not reliable enough to be "Always On"

   On MacOS (and to a lesser degree iOS) there are times when ProtonVPN just stops working, often for many minutes. However, at least on the Mac (Sonoma 14.5, and don't make me use Liquid Glass), when ProtonVPN fails, it still keeps trying to turn itself back on. The result is that the Internet doesn't work at all. This is frustrating on deadline. There have been times when the only way for me to get the Internet back is by uninstalling ProtonVPN and rebooting. Obviously nobody wants that. It's especially frustrating in a time crunch.

   Give me a "Emergency Off" button that cancels "Always On" so I can get a connection when it's really important. Presumably, the button would periodically poll ProtonVPN and turn itself on when a ProtonVPN connection was alive again, hopefully in a short period of time, and if not, the button would notify me of a continuing problem.

   Thank you!

6. Kill-Switch with Split-Tunneling for Mac

   Apparently ProtonVPN has implemented this feature in Windows:

   Proton removes restrictions on simultaneous feature usage on Windows
   - Users can now use Split Tunneling, Kill Switch, and NetShield altogether
   - Split tunneling is currently in beta for Mac and Linux users

   If you’ve been using Proton VPN on Windows, you’ve likely encountered a frustrating "pick two" scenario. For a long time, the app forced users to make a compromise: if you wanted to use split tunneling to route specific apps outside the VPN, you often had to disable other critical security features.

   According to an X post by the company, that friction is finally gone. Proton has just rolled out an update for its Windows application that allows users to enable Split Tunneling, the Kill Switch, and NetShield simultaneously.

   "Proton VPN's latest update on Windows lets you benefit from all three at once, so you can feel relieved while you browse the internet securely," the company tweeted.

   If this is available in Windows; why not available in Mac OS?

7. 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

8. ProtonVPN + Tailscale compatability

   Hi Proton team,
   I really appreciate how fast Proton iterates. One recurring pain point for privacy-conscious self-hosters is VPN + Tailscale coexistence.
   When Proton VPN is active (especially with kill switch), Tailscale stops working properly. This forces users to constantly disable one or the other, which defeats part of the purpose of running self-hosted services privately.
   Would it be possible to improve split tunneling / "Allow LAN access" so that it reliably works with Tailscale (and similar tools like Netbird or Headscale)? Even a dedicated "Overlay network mode" or better documentation would help a lot of power users.
   Thanks for all the work you do.

10. Improve region selection for high-population nations

    The current region selection system for Proton VPN really only works well for low- and mid-population nations, and is highly problematic for many regions of high-population nations. As an example, I can choose the UK, and then select from a list of the six cities in which you provide local presence. This is great. If I want to pop out in London, as opposed to Cardiff, I can. However, in California, U.S., this doesn’t work. Your system cannot iterate down further than one step (nation > city), where there are many places where you might want to go two steps (nation > region > city). As I noted, California is a perfect example of this. It is possible to choose U.S. > California, but not U.S. > California > Los Angeles. Population-wise, it's not far off declaring the U.K. a single endpoint, with no possibility of choosing any of the six cities that are currently supported. In a state as large and populous as California (and there are probably half a dozen other states like it in the U.S.), selecting indiviual cities is important. And I suspect that there are or will soon be other high-population nations with the same problem.

    Please offer a better solution. I don’t care whether it’s providing another layer of depth, with a sub-sub-menu for cities within the state sub-menu, or simply listing every “city” in the U.S. as a sub-menu under the entry for the U.S. But don’t leave it as-is. It sucks, and your competitors offer better selection tools.

11. Don't require login credentials for the Proton VPN browser extension

    Why does the Proton VPN browser extension require you to log into your proton account? The mullvad browser extension doesn't require this. It somehow talks to the mullvad VPN app and it just works. Could you please change this for the proton vpn browser extension?

12. Re-ordering of Created VPN Profiles

    I would like the ability to drag/drop and freely change the order of my created VPN profiles so that some profiles appear at the top and are more visible than others.
    I have created more profiles over time and have found that I use some profiles more often than others, but unfortunately I have to remember to scroll down to get to them.
    This would also be nice for organization, like grouping profiles of a similar purpose together.

13. Toggle option to exclude Smart Routing servers in settings

    For all ProtonVPN clients, there should be a toggle option in Settings that allows you to exclude Smart Routing servers from your connection. Something like:

    "Exclude Smart Routing servers (use only servers physically located in your selected country)"

    When you set up your Default Connection to be in your own country, you may be connected to Smart Routing servers which are physically located in another one and therefore will have worse latency.

    For example:

    A user in Argentina sets their Default Connection to "Argentina" for minimal latency. Without excluding Smart Routing servers, they might connect to a server physically in United States, increasing latency and worsening the experience.

    This could be added in Settings -> Connection -> Advanced Settings and would help a lot users that want the lowest possible latency while protecting their privacy.

14. World map pin on desktop app to show VPN location.

    On iOS app, when you choose a VPN location, the world map pin moves to that location. It would be nice to have this same behavior on the desktop app (Windows). Right now, the map pin is always in the the center of the country. For example, US shows map pin always in state of Nebraska.

16. Upgraded VPN for Mail Plus Subscribers

    I have been a Proton Mail Plus subscriber since 2021. As such I'm entitled to use the free version of Proton VPN. I just learned, however, non-mail subscribers can download and set up the same exact free VPN. To be clear, it appears they pay nothing for this. Seems unfair to paid mail subscribers. I would suggest providing an upgraded VPN with more features for Mail Plus subscribers; something short of VPN Plus. After all, there should be some benefit to being a paid mail customer versus a non-paying, non-customer. I recently cancelled my Express VPN subscription so I could switch to Proton VPN. This issue has caused a bit of disappointment. I respectfully request this matter be considered by the decision makers. Thank you for the forum.

17. tunnel

    Full Split Tunneling Support Across All DevicesWhile I love Proton VPN, I would heavily rely on having a dedicated Split Tunneling / Custom Tunnel option fully available on all operating systems. Being able to choose exactly which apps or IP addresses route through the secure tunnel—and which ones bypass it—is a game-changer for balancing security with local network speeds.Having one ultimate account to unlock everything, paired with total control over my network tunnels, would make Proton the undeniable, all-in-one ecosystem for power users.Thank you for listening to community feedback, and keep up the spectacular work!Best regards,

19. Add configurable notification display modes

    Add an option to customize how notification popups are displayed. Currently, notification text can be too long and wraps to a second line, making the compact notification window less convenient.

    The app should allow users to choose between two notification modes:

    Compact mode: shows only the most important information selected by the user, such as download and upload speed, without extra details like total downloaded or uploaded data.

    Full mode: shows the complete notification with all available information, similar to the current display.

    This would make notifications more flexible and easier to read depending on the user's needs.
