Feature request: Add forwarded port API method
Problem: There is no officially support method for a torrent client to obtain the currently active forwarded port from Proton VPN.
Current practices: The only way I've found to determine the port is to scrape the VPN client log. This is not officially supported and thus brittle, not to mention inefficient.
Proposed solution: Add a lightweight REST listener in the client to respond to API requests. Including forwarded port status, so that a local client can determine if the VPN is currently active, if port forwarding is enabled, and what the current port is. A unified cross-platform client API would…

Backup Split Tunneling List
A way to backup our URLs and IPs to Proton Drive. I recently had to uninstall/reinstall and then had to manually readd my entire list. Would be nice to have a way to backup the list, especially to Proton Drive, to have the peace of mind the data is safe.

Autoconnect when wifi is lost, disconnect on trusted wifi,
I use a vivo Fold 3, there's no VPN option available. Only from within the proton app.
Like Surfshark, an auto connect when no WiFi would be so good. And then, auto disconnect when on trusted WiFi, would be a great addition. As my router is always connected through proton VPN, there's 2 vpn's active when I'm home. And always need to manually disconnect the VPN ... In 2025... Please add these features.7 votes -
Set Default Connection to Specific U.S. State
I only ever want to connect to servers in the state I live in. Currently in order to do so I have to manually find that state in the connections list. Connecting to the fastest server will sometimes connect me to another state, and pinning the state connection still lists it as "United States" which is not descriptive and doesn't distinguish it from other pinned U.S. connections. Linux has the option to set the default connection to specific servers or other options (bust not states). This should be available on all platforms, or at the very least allow for creating…

Use Quantum-Resistant Cryptogtaphic Algorithm
OpenVPN uses TLS for encryption, Quantum Proof Algorithms including the four selected by NIST are provided by liboqs. The library is already present in repositories of many Linux Distros. liboqs is integrated in TLS, means no additional work is required for the client side. This would be very easy to implement in The VPN.
Much better alternative would be that Proton makes it's own Algorithm. It would be a good way to add it as an optional feature in the initial stages for testing.

A system for transfering included/exluded application paths when updating versions of ProtonVPN
Right now, user's have to go though and manually recompile the list of included/excluded applications(or IP's) when using the split-tunneling feature. This is more than just inconvenient, it is a security risk, opening the door for increased chances of user error.
The implementation of this feature doesn't have to be complicated and would definitely provide a quality of life increase for the applications user's.

Automatic MTU negotation
For protonvpn with wireguard, I need to manually adjust the MTU down due to using a 5g hotspot wifi solution. It would be really nice if the app could automatically negotiate the optimal MTU when setting up, I imagine by just pinging the VPN bastion server with different packet sizes (once authenticated) and adjusting from there.
Otherwise it would be nice if the app would at least allow you to override the MTU for different underlying networks.

Exclude networks
I am surprised that it isn't possible to exclude networks like my mobile provider and my home wifi in order to save battery power.

Split tunneling with hostnames
In the current tech landscape, the same website can be served through thousands of distinct IPs, changing over time depending on specific criteria or even between deployments. It is humanly exhausting, and frankly unfeasible, to require that we have knowledge of IPs or IP ranges to exclude a specific site from VPN usage.
I firmly believe that it is possible to implement the ability to provide access through hostnames (to enable any level of subdomain as well) without the need for a Herculean effort, even if it is necessary to require the user to use a specific DNS service.

Netshield improvements on all platforms
Netshield works well for the most part but it does not block as many ad networks as I would have anticipated. Some mobile games still show ads when being played while Netshield is enabled. I understand the usability aspect of things need to work, it would be beneficial to offer different levels of blocking so we could adjust the service to or liking or standards. This could be done by offering different levels like standard, advanced, adult, family or custom block lists that are supported through the app.

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)?

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.

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 >…

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.4 votes
