2. Request for an "App-Specific Block Log" feature

   Suddenly, my smartphone's temperature rose to 43°C, and ProtonVPN's battery usage reached 38%. Upon checking, I found that while connected to the fastest server, NetShield had blocked 200 trackers in just 30 minutes.
   After switching to SecureCore, the number of trackers was cut in half, and the temperature dropped to 24°C.
   ProtonVPN used the most power, while Brave Nightly used the most data. This doesn’t tell us who the culprit is.
   Just as I turned NetShield off, a "ClearNote consent pop-up" appeared. Although the Google Play Store stated that no data would be shared with third parties and that no data would be collected, it suddenly asked me to consent to the use of my data.
   There were too many detailed terms and conditions, and there wasn’t a simple “Disagree” button. I couldn’t go back or close the app, so I had to turn off the power to resolve the issue.
   I enabled NetShield in SecureCore and began migrating and deleting ClearNote data. Then I uninstalled it. During this process, which took about an hour, it blocked 900 trackers. After uninstallation, the number of blocked trackers dropped to about 50 per hour.
   I would like to keep NETShield enabled at all times, but in situations like this one—where “you can’t identify the culprit unless you turn it off”—the security risk is too high, so it should generally remain enabled. That’s why I’d like it to display a list of blocked trackers, just like Brave does.

3. Domain-based split tunneling for iOS

   A solution appears to have been found for iOS devices by a few other VPN services, like Surfshark & their 'Bypasser' feature.

5. Enhance anti-censorship capabilities and update IP addresses promptly to ensure usability in regions with strict censorship.

   Currently, Proton VPN is almost unusable in regions with strict censorship, and it is hoped that measures can be taken to alleviate this problem.

6. Split Tunnelling in Proton CLI

   With Split Tunnelling now available in the GUI app, it is a real shame not to have it in the CLI app, where it would be just as useful if not more.

7. Show basic stats in iOS ProtonVPN App and use Stats to connect to optimal server

   I wish the iOS could show some basic stats such as: ping time, data upload in past hour/day, data download in past hour/day, max up/down speeds over different time windows.
   Next step would be to use the ping data or max speeds to make connection choices - like to reconnect to another server in that country (or a set of countries) based on lowest ping or highest speed server.
   At the moment it feels like some of the WiFi networks I connect to might be traffic shaping and I wish ProtonVPN would seek out and reconnect to better servers when performance is poor.

8. Split-Tunneling Fill Switch and Advance Kill Switch

   Proton Unlimited has the best features compaired to other services, but needs to fix critical features with ProtonVPN:
   ProtonVPN has a Regular Kill Switch, but for optimal security it needs to have an Advance Kill Switch (An advanced VPN kill switch is a security feature that prevents your device from connecting to the internet unless it is actively connected to a VPN server. Unlike basic kill switches that only activate when the VPN disconnects unexpectedly, the advanced version blocks all internet traffic even if the VPN app is closed, restarted, or during system boot-up and shutdown). ProtonVPN Split-Tunneling automatically blocks the Kill Switch from working; I cannot understand why Split-Tunneling blocks the Kill Switch, which is very unsafe for the entire VPN, a Kill Switch should always be activated and is critical when using any VPN. As of now if a IP blocks a connection I have to temporarily turn off the VPN to connect, which defeats the purpose of a VPN.

10. Auto switch server in the same country when current server usage is too high

    Sometimes, when i'm connected to the VPN, the server i'm currently connected on gets a high load and my connection starts to slow down.
    So it would be nice to have an optional setting that could automatically switch to server with less load in the same country you were connected in in order to make the connection fast again.
    Also maybe make users be able to choose what load percentage they consider as high load, and also be able to control this setting for different profiles.

11. Detect when a server has high latency or slow speed and automatically change servers

    Sometimes my connection speed seems to become very slow. I often disconnect and reconnect to re-establish a decent connection speed. It would useful if profiles allowed for an option to automatically change servers when high latency or slow speed is detected.

    The option could select to reconnect to the best server in the same country or region or globally - based on a function of latency and speed.

12. Don't require login credentials for the Proton VPN browser extension

    Why does the Proton VPN browser extension require you to log into your proton account? The mullvad browser extension doesn't require this. It somehow talks to the mullvad VPN app and it just works. Could you please change this for the proton vpn browser extension?

13. Update the Proton VPN GTK

    The proton vpn app for android/iOS looks great. Why not bring the same design to Linux? I don't know about the desktop app for macOS/windows but, frankly, it looks terrible on Linux. Please redesign the Proton VPN GTK app. Thank you very much.

14. Dedicated IPs , Rotating IPs , Double VPN Costumized

    Dedicated IPs in major countries like the USA, Europe, Japan — something like NordVPN and Surfshark do, where we purchase dedicated IPs and choose the countries. However, it would be nice to include some shared dedicated IPs in the paid plan, with an additional fee option to have your own Proton IP in a country of your choice — Nord and Surfshark offer this.

    Double VPN like Surfshark does — you choose both countries, the entry and exit points. It's not meant to eliminate or improve Secure Core, but rather for a customized Double VPN experience.

    Rotating IPs — another feature from Surfshark where IPs change but the connection remains the same, without dropping, without changing countries, making tracking even more difficult.

    More secure physical servers — if it's physical, it should be secure. Virtual servers are far away, speed drops and latency explodes. Perhaps RAM-based servers could guarantee more security on physical servers.

15. Proton curated NetShield allowlist for privacy-respecting services

    Instead of implementing per-user domain whitelists across all VPN apps, Proton could maintain a curated allowlist of privacy-respecting domains (like www.startpage.com) that are exempt from NetShield ad blocking.

    This could be either:

    enabled by default, or
    offered as a single opt-in toggle.

    Pros: Simple implementation (DNS-side only), consistent across all platforms, supports privacy-friendly business models.

    Cons: Requires Proton to curate and maintain the list and some users may disagree with inclusion criteria or prefer maximum blocking without exceptions.

17. Detect DNS leak and warn ProtonVPN users

    An encrypted DNS (Called DoH - DNS over https) is said by you (in the later linked article) to "prevents our software from being able to see the DNS queries. This makes it very hard to block or reroute them."
    causing DNS leak, which can be considered a serious privacy compromise IMO.
    https://www.dnsleaktest.com
    https://ipleak.net

    It seems to be too severe not to warn user about it in case it is doable from the side of your application. I guess your app tries to read the DNS request and if is encrypted, it fails and can do some action, like displaying a warning inside a main ProtonVPN page, linking user to a tutorial on how to fix it ( https://protonvpn.com/support/dns-leaks-privacy/#dns-over-https or similar ).

19. Mac OS VPN App Sort Servers By Load

    This is specifically for the Mac OS version of the app. For countries that have multiple states with multiple server, it would be great to have an option to sort the server for the entire country by load, rather than having to go into each state. This is how the iOS app works and it is much more convenient than having to manually check through everything.
