2. Manually configuration to in-built Android VPN

   Feature Proposal: Manual VPN Configuration Integration

   Objective:
   Allow Proton VPN users to configure their VPN connection manually using Android’s built-in VPN client, giving users more flexibility and control while maintaining security.

   Why This Feature is Valuable

   1. User Flexibility:
      Some users prefer using Android’s native VPN interface for easier switching, battery optimization, or compatibility with other apps.

   2. Compatibility:
      Supports devices or scenarios where the Proton VPN app may not work, such as corporate or restricted environments.

   3. Enhanced Trust:
      Advanced users can inspect and configure VPN parameters directly, fostering transparency.

   ---

   Key Features

   1. Manual Setup Guide in the App:

   • Proton VPN app provides server addresses, ports, and protocol options for manual configuration.
   • Step-by-step instructions for IPSec/IKEv2 or OpenVPN (if supported by Android).

   1. Configuration Templates:

   • Pre-filled templates for common server locations.
   • Quick copy/paste of credentials and certificates.

   1. Security Maintenance:

      Include certificate pinning and strong encryption recommendations.

      • Automatic alerts if a server configuration is outdated or insecure.

   2. Seamless Switching:

   Users can choose between the Proton VPN app and the Android VPN interface without losing security or connection settings.

   ---

   Optional Advanced Features

   • Auto-sync server updates: Proton VPN app could push server list updates to the manual configuration template.

   • Custom DNS support in Android VPN configuration.

   • Diagnostic tool: Check whether the manual configuration is correctly encrypting traffic.

3. Subject: False positive blocking ConvertKit

   Hi Proton Team,

   I’ve noticed that ConvertKit email links are being blocked by NetShield even when set to “Malware only.” Specifically, these domains fail to resolve while NetShield is active:
   ck.page
   
   convertkit-mail.com
   
   convertkit.com
   
   These are legitimate marketing/redirect domains used by ConvertKit, a major email service provider. With NetShield disabled, the links work fine.

   Could you please review and remove these domains from the blocklist so they are not blocked in Malware-only mode?

4. Reconnect option for active profile.

   Please add an option to reconnect the active profile. Right now, if I'm using the Fastest Country profile, and I see that my server load is high, I have to disconnect and then connect again, leaving my network open for a second.

   I assume that a proper reconnect button would avoid any lapse in VPN coverage.

5. iOS widget background: remove gradient

   I’m grateful for the iOS vpn widget, but the gradient background is an eyesore.

   Other apps use a consistent, flat background in their widgets, dark gray in dark mode, and white in light mode. This means widgets from different apps still look nice when arranged into a “dashboard” next to each other — until I add the Proton widget, with its gradient-fade background.

   I suppose the gradient is part of the Proton branding but it gets in the way here and should be skipped.

8. "Disconnect" Button over hover profile in profile section

   In the profile section, when connected to a particular profile, it should show the button of "Disconnect" button when hovering over that same profile again. Right now, it shows the connect button again, even if it is connected to that profile.

9. iOS Dynamic Island VPN Indicator

   On the iPhone Dynamic Island at the top of the screen, it would be useful for proton vpn to utilize this space that Apple allows devs to use for indicators such as showing that the vpn status if connected or not.

   Currently you have to swipe down to see if the vpn is active or if you go into the app to check.

   Other apps including other vpns use this Dynamic Island as an indicator for a quick glance/stuatus.

10. Update extension UI

    The extension UI seems to be working with the OG UI, it would be nice to have it updated to a more recent version with new features such as split tunneling being an inclusion list rather than exclusion so I have specific websites (like social media) where I want my vpn on and others I want it off.

11. Kill Switch option in Profiles

    Hi ProtonVPN team,

    I’d love to see an option added to the profile creation process that lets users set up Kill Switch preferences right from the start. Specifically, it would be great to choose whether the Kill Switch is enabled or disabled for that profile, and also select between the standard and advanced modes.

    This would give users more control over how each profile behaves based on their needs. For example, someone might want a profile with the advanced Kill Switch enabled for maximum protection, and another with it off for more flexibility.

    Thanks for your time and for continuously improving ProtonVPN!

12. Support Usage across multiple local users on Mac

    Currently some Proton apps are unusable on a Mac with multiple local users. For instance if you have Mac User A and Mac User B both with Proton accounts (PA and PB)

    Mac User A installs Proton VPN and Proton Drive and logs into each with PA

    Mac User B uses "Switch Users" to log into their local Mac account and tries to use Proton Apps

    *Proton VPN: The app will open and Mac User B logs in with their Proton B account but the VPN will never establish a connection. It will say "connecting" but eventually time out with no error. The user is not protected by the VPN and their public IP is exposed. The only way to fix this is to use Activity Monitor and Force Close Proton VPN on Mac User A's process list, but this requires Admin access and is not always possible. 
    
    *Proton Drive: Mac User B is not able to open the Proton Drive app at all. There is no error message it just does not open.

13. Copy forwarded port from the tray icon menu

    With the new Windows app, copying the port can get a bit annoying. Currently, the way to copy the port is by opening the app, hovering over 'Port forwarding', and clicking the copy icon. This adds a lot of unnecessary delay, like waiting for the app to open or for the flyout with the port to fade in.

    Adding a 'Copy port' entry in the tray icon menu would be a quick and easy way to quickly copy the forwarded port number.

14. Game Server Proximity Connection

    This feature could enhance the gaming experience for VPN users. Upon initiating a gaming session, the VPN would identify the location of the game server to which the user is connected. The VPN would then select and connect to its own server that is geographically closest, or lowest ping to the game server. This process ensures optimal latency and performance by minimizing the distance data has to travel between the VPN server and the game server, potentially providing a better gaming experience.

    Functionality:

    1.  Initial Connection: When a user starts a game, the VPN detects the connection to the game server.
    2.  Server Analysis: The VPN identifies the physical location of the game server.
    3.  Optimal Server Selection: The VPN then scans its network to find the server closest to the game server’s location.
    4.  Seamless Re-routing: The VPN automatically switches the user’s connection to this optimally located server.
    

    This approach could improve gaming performance for VPN users, particularly in multiplayer online games where latency is a critical factor.

16. easier way to report broken/unavailable site

    Currently we are asked to fill out the entire form at https://protonvpn.com/support-form
    It would be nice (likely to result in more feedback, which presumably helps techs to ID issues and fix them) if it was simpler and quicker to report a site is broken due to using Proton VPN.

17. Show server load before selecting secure core for each country feature, new version had removed this feature

    The new version 4.1.13 did not display the server load before selecting. It is slow and troublesome to connect and found that the country server load is high and I have to switch to another country one by one to find out low server load country and this method is very inefficient and resulting proton and users unnecessary servers connecting and disconnecting. Hopefully this pre-display server load feature before secure core connection can be reinstated back into the new version.

18. Support More flexible VPN lite package

    I'm hoping for a Proton VPN Lite plans with a data limit of 3-5TB per month (priced between $4.99-$5.99 per month). The very unstable speeds and high latency at $9.99 per month are really daunting, and compared to other competing VPN products, I think it have no pricing advantage. I hope your teams'll consider it!

19. Allow a config file or something similar for use during automated installs during Windows Sandbox spinup.

    Lots of folks use the Included Sandbox with the Windows Pro versions of 10 & 11. They allow scripts to be run to install apps, like Firefox and VPN's among many others during the OS spinup process.
    
    Allowing the .launcher to have the login and password included would be a great feature or maybe a way to drop a file somewhere that had my configuration info in a place to have your launcher pre-populate those fields for launching the vpn app would be extremely helpful. Having to open my PW manager and copy and paste both the username and password each time I spin the sandbox up makes me no always use the VPN. (paid copy) I like using Proton but if some other vendor implements that feature I would have to switch.

20. The ProtonVPN client works great; I wish I could get PVPN and pfSense working that well.

    The PVPN client performance is stellar, but I seek similar performance for whole home protection by setting up PVPN in a pfSense VirtualBox VM on a separate laptop which doesn't do much else. I've used PVPN via that setup for years. Running speed tests on the same machine as where the pfSense/PVPN VM is running, I have found to be disastrous: incredibly low throughput, no matter what PC it's running on.

    No VPN: 95Mbps. PVPN client: 85Mbps. PVPN+pfSense: 50Mbps (worst case). Those are download speeds given by OpenSpeedTest run from a different PC on the LAN than where the pfSense VM is. Wiregard in client, OpenVPN in pfSense (that can't be worth much).

    I started debugging my pfSense configuration awhile back, but didn't find the issue. I used the guide available on the ProtonVPN website to configure pfSense (available for pfSense 2.7, as I recall). A key thing, though, is that when I upgraded pfSense to version 2.8.1 from 2.7.x, I saw a decrease in throughput (download and upload). That said, while the pfSense upgrade caused some degradation, prior to the upgrade the throughput was also concerning at 30% or more decrease in throughput over using no VPN.

    Any suggestions likely to greatly improve the PVPN throughput when setup in pfSense are appreciated. Also, notes about your experience with router setup of PVPN are appreciated. Better documention from Proton for seting up PVPN with routers and comparisons to the client would be nice.
