Replace location switch timers with advertisements
The way that the free version of Proton VPN currently works (on mobile, at least) is that the locations users can switch to are randomised, and there are timers that force you to wait between switches. Not only is this annoying for users, but from a business perspective, it doesn't seem very profitable. I understand that these features are here to encourage people to buy the premium version, but that leaves the people who don't want a subscription not being profitable at all. My proposal is to replace the timers and randomisation with needing to watch an ad to switch…

Microsoft Edge for Android Extension
Microsoft Edge on Android now supports browser extensions, yet the number of available VPN extensions is extremely limited. At the moment, only a few providers such as AdGuard, Browsec, and NordVPN are present in the Edge Add-ons store.
Although ProtonVPN already offers an Android application, it establishes a system-wide VPN connection. Many users would prefer a browser-only VPN option that routes traffic only from the browser without affecting the entire operating system. A ProtonVPN extension for Microsoft Edge on Android would address this need, offering a lightweight, flexible, and privacy-focused browsing solution while expanding ProtonVPN’s presence on mobile platforms.3 votes -
Suggestion: Temporary VPN Connection for Login Assistance
Dear Proton VPN Team,
I am a user from mainland China. When trying to log in to the Proton VPN desktop client, the login process often fails due to local network restrictions. This makes it difficult for users in regions with strict internet controls to access the service, even if they already have valid accounts.
I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows the client to temporarily enable a lightweight VPN connection (or use a fallback method) during the login process. This would help users bypass local blocks and successfully authenticate, after which the normal VPN connection could…

Proton as an Internet Service Provider
Obviously this is a pie-in-the-sky idea, but with all of the features provided by Proton, it seems that creating an ISP seems like a reasonable (if not far off) step. Of course access would vary by country as Proton would build ISP infrastructure, and I'm not sure if this has any particular benefits vs using a VPN, but just an idea.

Feature parity between Windows/Mac and Linux
I've started using Proton VPN in Windows, and it's a great app, full of resources, with great graphics, many resources, ability to auto-start, start minimized, auto-connect to a profile... The Mac version also looks very similar to Windows'.
However, recently I changed to Linux (Pop OS, Ubuntu based), and although I had no problems installing the GUI version of the app, it does not even remotely resemble the Windows/Mac version. It's a very, veeeeeeeeery simple app, without the majority of configuration options present in their other OS's counterparts.
Proton VPN team should dedicate more time to make the Linux version…

Set a Favorite Server as Default
In the next Proton VPN update, I suggest that the user have the option to set a favorite server as default. That way, whenever someone turns on their computer or phone, they are logged in directly to it. For example, I really like the performance and speed of server 101 (Brazil). But having to select it every time is quite inconvenient.

Physically Located VPN Server on the Philippines
Hello,
Could you please consider adding or switching to a server provider that is physically located in the Philippines?
I’ve noticed that other VPN providers like Mullvad and Windscribe use Zenlayer for their Philippine servers. Perhaps Proton could explore incorporating Zenlayer as well to enhance local connectivity and performance.
Thank you for your consideration.

Block malware & trackers (not ads)
To support websites that’s dependent on advertising, I’d like to block trackers whilst refusing tracking.
Writing this I realize it might be the case that it’s not possible to separate ads and tracking since they’re delivered by the same domains. In that case please close this suggestion.

Add options to exclude one's own country from autoconnect in Android TV
On Android TV you can select a favourite country and it should have priority over everything. Apparently this does not work when adding vpn lock through adb. The system calls the Proton VPN app on Android TV and the app autoconnects to the fastest server which, in my case, it's always in my country.
This is not good and, for many, could even be unsafe.

Notification if not connected
User sets the time to get notified if they're disconnected for longer than x period.
For users on iOS/android who may temporarily switch off the VPN and forget to toggle it back on, it would be great to have a notification based on a users preference (if not connected for x minutes, notify the user to say they're not connected)

Add VPN auto connect and block if not connected features
I have been using NordVPN on my FireStick and hoped to replace it with ProtonVPN however it is missing a few essential feature to make it useable.
I want my VPN to immediately connect on Startup and remain connected all the time. ProtonVPN on FireStick does not have autoconnection settings and doesn't prevent connection until (and only when) a VPN connection is made.
It is also missing the options to specify my own DNS servers.
Manually connecting each time and loosing VPN connection unknowingly is not acceptable, these are the reasons we want to use a VPN.
Thanks!

Name IP addresses specified for split tunneling
It would be helpful to be able to name or tag IP addresses that are added to the split tunneling list. Names would help users avoid deleting an address by accident, and easily review the sites that have already been specified.

Provide warnings for recent legislature changes in selected country
Proton should provide a warning note against countries that have made recent legal changes that impact the internet. This could include things like the UK's Online Safety Act causing websites to behave differently or more serious legislation that allows the government to track or control internet access.
The goal of this feature would be to warn Proton VPN users about impending or recently implemented law changes for their awareness and safety online.

allow port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn
Please consider allowing port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn. I am unable to find any documentation on whether this is currently possible or not. I have an openwrt router using a wireguard vpn. I am happy with it, but it would be better if I could forward a port into my home network to allow plex access from outside the house.
Cheers!

Un mot de pass par application Proton
Pour des raisons de sécurité je n'aime pas avoir le même mot de passe pour les différentes applications Proton, notamment VNP et Pass. Serait il possible que ces 2 appli n'aient pas le même mot de passe que celui du compte proton mail , drive ou calendar ?

Allow Kill Switch to block Internet when VPN failed to connect on startup.
The kill switch allows you to connect to the internet if Proton VPN failed to connect (during start-up) or if you manually disconnected.
It would be more secure if it only allowed connections through a VPN.
I personally connected to multiple public hotspots without noticing that my VPN was actually off.
