1. More protocols

   Hi

   Please add more open censorship circumventing protocols..

   Like AmnesiaWG and X-Ray

   This is extremely important to bypass hard blocks. And also it will allow to set them up on rare systems (like OpenWRT routers, Raspbian, DD-WRT etc)

2. Feature for Proton VPN (gtk) App

   Proton VPN App creates an icon in the toolbar / app-bar, where hovering mouse over it tells "Proton VPN". That is good for the beginner, but the thing I usually want to know is 1) Where am I connected [CH-#123] or if I am not connected, 2) to tell [Proton VPN not connected]. At the present I have to open the "Show" to see the connection. Even more information could be useful, but I have no ideas for that.

   Secondly I want the "Show" appear just below the "Disconnect" option. "Quit" can well be the last one.

3. Option to choose available servers in free version

   Sometimes it can be annoying that I can't choose a stable needed server for me on free version of the VPN, that's why some servers sometimes get overloaded with users and it's really hard to find a different server that isnt as much loaded. Please add this to the VPN!

4. 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.

5. Linux - Include client options to GUI

   Currently the linux client have several interested features that could be great to have in the GUI.

   For example be able to connect to fastest secure core server, or random secure core (--random -sc), random p2p, etc.
   It could be an option to click connect, like the other ones, or a param that could be added in the Autoconnect or Pinned tray icons, like the already existing "Fastest" option.

   For example:
   1. SecureCore -> --securecore
   2. Random -> --random
   3. RandomSecureCore -> --random --securecore
   4. P2P -> --p2p
   5. RandomP2P -> --random --p2p

   Only the GUI because it has support for Advanced kill-switch would be great to be able to connect to a random and decongested server. Proton have server in countries that usually are lower than 5% of capacity while others are +60%.

   It would be a good option for people like me that only want to connect to a sever without worrying where it is.
   And like these servers are less used, the IPs are usually less blocked by services or bot scanners.

   Options:
   --country TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified country
   Country code (US, GB, DE) or full name ("United States")
   --city TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified city
   City name (use quotes for multi-word: "New York")
   --p2p Connect to fastest P2P-optimized server
   -sc, --securecore Connect to fastest Secure Core server
   --tor Connect to fastest Tor server
   --random Connect to random available server
   -h, --help Show this message and exit.

7. Mock gps

   A vpn feature known usually as mock GPS.
   It would have different options such as masking your GPS location to match your vpn ip address or to a specific location.

   Such as the browser extension cloaq on desktop or the Mock GPS Location app on the Play Store.
   There is also a simple version included in Surfshark that only uses the matching option.

10. Implement Rolling/Tiered Server Maintenance to Avoid Complete Country-Wide Outages

    During routine maintenance cycles, I've noticed that all servers within a given country are occasionally taken offline simultaneously — occurring roughly every 2–3 months.

    This forces users to reroute through servers in neighboring countries, which often serve different regional content, languages, and geo-restricted services. The result is a noticeably degraded browsing experience that undermines the core value of a VPN.

    Proposed Solution:
    Introduce a rolling or tiered maintenance schedule that keeps a minimum percentage of servers online at all times within each country cluster. For example:

    • Tier 1 (Active): A baseline set of servers remains fully operational during any maintenance window.
    • Tier 2 (Maintenance): A rotating subset undergoes updates, patches, or hardware work.
    • Tier 3 (Standby/Buffer): Reserved servers that can be activated if Tier 1 capacity drops below a threshold.

    This approach is widely used in cloud infrastructure (e.g., rolling deployments, blue-green deployments) and would allow Proton VPN to maintain service continuity without impacting the user's country-specific connection.

    Expected Benefits:

    • Users stay connected to their preferred country's servers throughout maintenance periods.
    • Reduced disruption to region-specific content, language settings, and geo-dependent services.
    • Improved perceived reliability and service quality.

11. Replace ads to bypass anti-ad blocker censorships

    You could toggle a switch and instead of fully blocking ads it replaces them with like a “blocked by Proton” 1-5 seconds video, so that he website/app thinks it loaded a ads but in reality it didn’t, to help fight AD BLOCKER censorship

12. Extend NetShield content blocking options

    I wish NetShield had more fine-tuned content blocking options beyond malware and ads/trackers. Mullvad can also block the following:
    - Gambling
    - Adult content
    - Social media

    Please add these options to NetShield so I don't have to trust a third party custom DNS (and risk being fingerprinted for it). Proton might treat this as low priority, but it's important to me. This and DAITA are some of Mullvad's distinctive features, so I'd appreciate if Proton had them too.

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. Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware on GrapheneOS

    On GrapheneOS, the updater runs before first unlock (BFU) to grab security patches, but Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware. Enabling it brings up the VPN UI BFU, yet no network ever connects, so updates fail until you unlock the device.

    Repro:

    Install Proton VPN on GrapheneOS (e.g. Pixel 6 Pro 2025.05.15)

    Turn on kill-switch

    Reboot and stay at lock screen

    Watch the BFU updater time out for lack of network

    Impact:
    Devices miss critical patches until next unlock, extending exposure to exploits.

    Fix:
    • Mark the VPN service as android:directBootAware="true" in AndroidManifest.xml
    • Move its config/certs into Device-Protected Storage for BFU access

18. Split

    Split tunneling is extremely useful but could benefit greatly from another level of splitting so that apps could be put into a home country only vpn tunnel, switched to when opening. This would allow some apps that don't work under a vpn to work since geography often seems to be the issue. I realize this could mean a reconnect, but this ensures staying on vpn and not forgetting to re-enable it to the preferred default other country. When it switches, a second notification could effectively remind that a switch occurred (since the standard notification is there forever and so becomes background noise not paid attention to). A reroute notification would cover for the opted in use of this feature. Not sure if the best solution ro so many apps restricting vpn use, but many apps are no longer working under vpn, but many based on geography. 1/2 my daily apps are excluded via split tunneling it seems

19. More circuvmention

    Hi

    Can you please add:
    1. Support for stealth for Linux
    2. Amnesia WG or V2Ray

    Because in censored networks your connection usually blocked.

    Also, please, move all your VPN to 443! Because it is extremely trivial to block ports other than 53, 853, 443!
