1. Add a protonvpn website API or webpage to obtain public IP address

   The current https://protonvpn.com/what-is-my-ip-address website is convenient in order to find out my device's public IPv4 address. However, the way it is coded, the address is displayed using javascript (default 127.0.0.1). This makes it impossible to use curl from a script to find out the device's public IPv4 address. As a result, scripts have to use other websites. There are many that offer this, but it's not very private.

   For those of us who need an algorithmic way to find out IPv4 address using a script, it would be nice if Proton offered this same capability. For example, https://ifconfig.me/ can be used by parsing the HTML output to find the IPv4 address. Better is https://ipv4.icanhazip.com, but this also has privacy issues.

   Of course, the site should be rate limited, to prevent overload. My script usually checks every 30 minutes.

   Another approach would be to only serve the IPv4 address when presented with an OAuth token, which could be created by a logged in user on the protonvpn.com website. Even if this expires , say, on a yearly basis, I would not mind updating my script occasionally to use a newer token.

2. Automatic login on the ProtonVPN Linux client

   Currently, the ProntonVPN Linux client requires manual login each time. This is really tedious, particularly if the password is very complex. It would be much better if it were possible to log in automatically. This, in particular, is a requirement for automatically starting the VPN client after each reboot.

3. Add internet speed check + reconnect

   Hello this is for the web extension <- very important since i am not talking about the desktop vpn

   feature where we add a specific value, like maybe 1 minute? each time it checks if we are still connected correctly to the internet since i noticed a lot of times that i can speak with no issues with Lumo (aka i am connected to the internet?) but, anywhere i try to use the web, nothing happens, and i get the no internet. Something that makes no sense since other browers work with no issue. Then i click on the extension, change the current country and now it works....

   aka the issue is the vpn itself.

   And the add internet speed check does exactly that, it checks the connection of the current website we are on. If it does not work, the vpn extension reconnects itself without compromising the vpn itself. And if we also have different locations then to even try different countries depending on what settings we added.

   Plus the split tunnelling can work here even better since we can clearly set which website to connect to what country or location. And like this we don't even need to switch.

4. Multiple WG Clients on One Router

   Hello ProtonVPN Support,

   I am running ProtonVPN on an ASUS RT-AX86U router using Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. I would like to run multiple ProtonVPN WireGuard client profiles simultaneously and route different LAN clients through different ProtonVPN exits using Merlin’s VPN Director policy-routing feature.

   The problem is that all of the ProtonVPN WireGuard configuration files generated for my account appear to use the same tunnel-side addresses:

   Interface Address:
   10.2.0.2/32

   DNS:
   10.2.0.1

   When I enable multiple ProtonVPN WireGuard clients at the same time on the router, all clients show successful handshakes, but traffic does not route correctly. The router’s route tables end up associating the shared tunnel-side address 10.2.0.1 with only one WireGuard interface, so DNS and/or internal tunnel routing for the other WireGuard clients appears to collide.

   For example, with multiple WireGuard clients enabled, several routing tables point 10.2.0.1 to wgc1, even when a LAN client is supposed to route through wgc5. When I disable all ProtonVPN WireGuard clients except one, the remaining client works correctly. In that state, 10.2.0.1 is routed through the active WireGuard interface and traffic passes normally.

   This strongly suggests that the issue is not the WireGuard tunnel itself, but the fact that multiple ProtonVPN WireGuard profiles use the same internal tunnel address and DNS address when active on the same router.

   Could ProtonVPN provide WireGuard configuration files suitable for simultaneous use on a single Linux/Asuswrt-Merlin router, with unique tunnel-side addresses per profile/device? For example, something like:

   Profile 1:
   Address = 10.2.0.2/32
   DNS = 10.2.0.1

   Profile 2:
   Address = 10.2.1.2/32
   DNS = 10.2.1.1

   Profile 3:
   Address = 10.2.2.2/32
   DNS = 10.2.2.1

   Or another supported configuration approach that avoids route collisions when multiple ProtonVPN WireGuard clients are active at the same time.

   My goal is to use multiple ProtonVPN WireGuard exits simultaneously on one router, assigning different LAN clients or subnets to different ProtonVPN WireGuard clients via VPN Director. OpenVPN clients work in this role because their tunnel interfaces receive distinct addressing, but the WireGuard profiles collide because they reuse 10.2.0.2/32 and 10.2.0.1.

   Please let me know whether ProtonVPN supports unique WireGuard tunnel addresses per profile/device, or whether simultaneous multiple WireGuard clients on a single router are unsupported with ProtonVPN-generated configs.

   Thank you.

7. Domain-based (FQDN) Split Tunneling for Desktop and Mobile

   Please add domain-based split tunneling (e.g., *.company.intern) to the Windows/macOS desktop clients, similar to how the browser extension already handles it.

   The current IP- and App-based split tunneling is unreliable for modern web services with dynamic IPs/CDNs and internal corporate networks.

   Solution: The client should monitor DNS queries for specified domains and dynamically route the resolved IPs. This would massively improve reliability and close a major feature gap compared to enterprise VPN clients.

   Please add this feature for Desktop and Mobile App

8. Xray-core(dpi bypass protocol, in authoritarian countries)

   We suggest considering Xray-core as an alternative to current VPN protocols. Due to the expanding list of countries using internet censorship. Xray, as a successor to V2Ray, promises significant improvements: higher performance due to an optimized core, support for modern protocols (VLESS, Trojan) and advanced traffic obfuscation (XTLS), which is critical for bypassing DPI and ensuring reliable access.

9. 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.

10. When you connect using the Linux command line indicate server load automatically

    When you connect to ProtonVPN using the command line your new IP is is played but you don't know your server load unless you type in protonvpn status, if you use the GUI you find out about the server load automatically, I want to propose the server load is displayed automatically every time you connect to ProtonVPN using the Linux command line along with usual assigned IP.

12. Add smart / rule-based split tunneling (auto GeoIP routing)

    Please add automatic, rule-based split tunneling to the desktop apps:

    Local-country traffic → direct, everything else → VPN, decided automatically by a built-in GeoIP / domain ruleset (no manual lists).
    Add an "Include only" mode on macOS (currently Exclude-only).
    Support domain-based split tunneling in the desktop client, not just the browser extension.
    I live in a restricted-network region where local banking/payment services block foreign IPs, while international services need the VPN. Without auto routing, I must either tunnel everything or maintain endless manual lists. This feature would keep power users inside Proton instead of switching to Clash/Surge.

    Just make it so the background is the same dark gradient as every other macOS app; that way it won't stick out in the dock.

15. Onion Service for protonvpn.com

    Please add a Tor Onion Service for protonvpn.com

    Proton currently already has an Onion Service for the main site:

    • https://proton.me/
    • https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/

    However, there is no Onion Service for the vpn site:

    • https://protonvpn.com/

    Please create an Onion Service for the protonvpn.com site.

    I recommend doing this by a subdomain of the existing Onion Service, for example:

    • https://vpn.protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/

    After the Onion Service is available, please also update the 'onion-location` header, so that Tor Browser automatically notifies visitors of protonvpn.com that there is a more secure Onion Service available

17. Auto reconnect to the same server feature after device reboot

    Actually using Proton VPN on an Android TV box where the Proton VPN features are very limited.

    I usually turn off completely (not standby) my device when not using it and when I turn it back on I always find the VPN disconnected. A feature where the VPN would automatically reconnect to the last used server would be much appreciated and make the user experience smooth. Thanks in advance.

19. SSO (single sign on) for Unlimited Accounts

    It's unfortunate having to sign into the VPN with your username and password for the VPN - for some of my devices I'm using Windows or Android, where I don't consider the operating system secure.

    Users should have the ability to sign into Proton VPN with single sign on from a trusted device.

    For instance, I'm using Linux and GrapheneOS for relatively secure environments, but I'd still like to be able to sign into Proton VPN on Windows, for instance, without having to type in my entire email and password - Windows itself has been proven to track what you're typing. Using MFA for Proton helps mitigate the risk of this but it's unfortunate to have to rely on this

20. Android Widget & Notification UI update for Tor servers

    When you go to the 'Countries' tab on Android you can select from "All, Secure Core, P2P & Tor" options. If you select Tor, one of the options is "Fastest Country." When you connect to that, there is no indication that you're connected to a Tor server unless you either open the app or manually check your IP address.

    If you use the widget on the home screen there is nothing differentiating a regular "Fastest Country" over "Fastest Country via Tor" either in the widget or the persistent notification. In regards to the widget, both use the same lightning icon. You could add text below it to indicate which one is the Tor connection. The UI doesn't make it obvious, you need to open the app which in my opinion, defeats the purpose of the widget. You could also change it to show the onion logo like when selecting a country in the first place.

    In regards to the persistent notification, a "Connected to (Country) via Tor" would be appreciated as well.

    I know it's not as critical as other suggestions, but it would certainly be a welcomes QoL update. Thank you.
