  1. Dedicated IP Address tied to Secure Core

    I would really love to have the ability to purchase a dedicated IP Address within ProtonVPN. This would eliminate blocking by some financial institutions and steaming services who block known multi-user ip addresses.

    If the possibility exist to link the dedicated ip address (in the United States) to the secure core function would be outstanding.

    A reasonable monthly charge (in addition to the regular monthly subscription fee) would be well worth the additional feature.

  3. Support connecting over http/socks5/Tor bridges

    Although ProtonVPN may not directly provide bridges, it would be convenient for users living in places with strong internet censorship to have ProtonVPN over their censorship circumvention proxies, which might not be secure. Routing traffic through those insecure proxies to ProtonVPN will provide their accessibility to the outside internet securely.

    Usually, Shadowsocks/V2Ray/Clash, the famous censorship circumvention tools, provide http/socks5 proxies locally. ProtonVPN could connect to the Internet over them.

  4. Folder selection for Split Tunneling

    Easily exclude all sub-executables of a service by selecting a whole folder instead of having to manually select every file by hand.

    As an example, Steam needs much more than just the main executable and the game's executable to work properly with Split Tunneling.

  5. Porn/adult sites blocker for NetShield

    Warp (CloudFlare) has a feature for their equivalent of NetShield that also blocks porn/adult sites from the DNS, in addition to options for malware and ads. Consider adding this for a family-friendly setting?

  6. Latency display

    When you click on a country, the list of servers for that country appears. The only thing missing is the latency you are getting from that server. For example, I click Estonia, I see all the Estonian servers. Right next to each Estonian server, there would be a number telling you what ping you're getting, like 150ms. I think this feature would be a useful one to add because choosing a faster connection would be easier if you could see the latency. Also, with this ping, for the box that shows your internet speed over a time period of 60…

  7. Low carbon switch

    Similar to the Secure Core switch, a Low carbon switch that would allow to filter VPN servers to restrict the selection to countries where power generation is less carbon-intensive. The list of countries could be either derived of yearly averaged, or refreshed real-time based on e.g. electricitymap data.

  8. Dynamic IP address

    IP addresses of servers should be changed on daily basis as it will not get detected as a "VPN IP Address" by sites who block internet connections when they see shared IP address.

  9. Allow adding multiple users to an VPN account

    Please make an option to add other users on the same network for the VPN service.

    My family wants to use VPN at home but I don't want give each person my username and password to log into the ProtonVPN software. I'd rather have a simple family option where you can assign permission to an extra person or two to the same account, at least per network.

    Hell, I'd even pay a teensy bit extra too for that feature as I think it's a perfectly reasonable request.

  10. Show current connected profile label in the GUI

    When connected to a profile, the Windows GUI shows:

    Country >> Server
    IP Load
    Protocol Speeds

    It would be nice to see current profile name there as well. And also the profile may be highlighted in the list to indicate that it is currently connected. Without this feature it is hard to tell at a glance which profile is being used at the moment. So the user either has to memorize all the servers, or always reconnect to the needed profile to ensure it is being used.

  11. Improved server search and profile creation.

    Provide the ability to search for servers and create profiles using filters based not only on country but things like city, state, type of server (e.g., basic, P2P), load, latency, etc.

  13. Disconnect VPN for timed period

    My default is to leave ProtonVPN connected. If I disconnect it, its usually for a specific task, like trying to resolve zoom glitches, accessing a site that isn't available with the VPN on, or trying to speed up a large file download. 99% of the time I do not remember to turn ProtonVPN back on after the task is complete, and I discover its off 1/2 - 1 week later. I would love the ability to turn off ProtonVPN for a set time period: 1/6/12/24 hours etc and then have it resume the fastest connection possible.

  14. Better Linux integration and support

    The app really needs better integration and support on different flavors of Linux. Now, since WireGuard is part of the kernel, it can be heavily utilized.

  15. Include Domain Names in Split Tunneling Exclude list

    Currently, adding a website to the exclude list requires that I first must find out the IPv4 numerical address, which is not easy to do for a lot of people. I eventually found: https://dns-lookup.com

    It would be nice if the exclude list could accept names instead of numbers, it would only require using your own DNS server to return the numerical address to the app as an appended tag for the exclude entry - so the app would still work pretty much the same as before

  16. VPN App Shortcut

    It would be great if VPN app would have a shortcut to Connect action (maybe even one to Fastest and another to Random). This would allow to create an icon on the home screen tapping which would immediately initiate VPN without opening the app.

  19. Change iOS app icon color to indicate connection status (or as notification)

    I'm relatively new to iOS, so I might be missing something, but it would be nice if the ProtonVPN connection status was shown as a badge on the app icon. I think what a user can see on the status bar is different depending on the version of iOS and model of phone and, in my case, the VPN status is not shown (which is different from the Android device I used to have).

    I sometimes find that the VPN is not connected (and not trying to re-connect) even though "Always-on VPN) is selected in the app settings and it…

  20. Netshiled status in Linux Cli

    Hi,
    It would be nice that when we use the command pvpn s to get the status on the connection, that the status of netshield was also available.
    We have the protocole UDP/TCP, Kill switch status, but not the netshield.
    Thanks a lot.
