1. Urgent need for Belgian server infrastructure

   Subject: Feedback from a happy customer: Urgent need for Belgian server infrastructure

   Dear Proton VPN Team,

   As loyal and satisfied users of both Proton Pass and Proton VPN, we appreciate the exceptional speed, reliability, and security your services provide.

   However, we face a major operational hurdle regarding server locations. We specifically require a Belgian server IP address to serve our customer base, which is primarily located in Belgium, alongside operations in the Netherlands and France. Because we require a single consistent IP setup, utilizing multiple servers across different countries is not a viable option.

   We initially attempted a workaround by routing through Switzerland as a neutral hub. After testing this arrangement for a month, we must conclude that it is an unsuccessful choice for our workflow.

   Why Belgium is Critical

   Leaving Belgium unserved on your network is an oversight given the country's strategic importance:
   * Political & Diplomatic Hub: Belgium hosts nearly all major European Union and NATO governmental institutions and offices.
   * International Business: It serves as the base for thousands of international corporate headquarters and cross-border enterprises.
   * Logistical Powerhouse: The Port of Antwerp-Bruges is one of the largest seaports in Europe and a vital global trade nexus.

   Given this economic and geopolitical weight, the absence of dedicated server infrastructure in Belgium is glaring.

   Call to Action & Pilot Trial Offer

   We strongly urge the Proton team to establish server infrastructure in Belgium. Furthermore, we would like to ask:
   1. What are the current obstacles or roadmap considerations preventing server deployment in Belgium?
   2. Can we actively contribute to this process? We are fully available to participate as pilot trial users to test an experimental or test trial server hosted in Belgium.

   We look forward to your response and hope to collaborate on a solution.

   Sincerely,

   A Dedicated Proton Customer

2. Prioritize physical servers instead of the virtual servers on countries with both

   Right now, in Indonesia we have both physical servers and virtual servers. The thing is, when u click connect to Indonesia. It will randomly choose the virtual servers instead of the physical servers. In my opinion this is a flawed logic because not only do we have more added latency. There are also a few different sites that can tell that Proton's virtual IPs are not actually from Indonesia. Not only that, having ProtonVPN prioritize physical servers means that you will also most likely have a better speed and experience overall because we wont have to worry about the quality of our ISP's international link quality.

   Yes, I can understand the issues with this logic, like what if the physical servers are all full in terms of capacity and will yield lower performance/experience to the user? for this i would also suggest that u guys add a logic where ProtonVPN will prefer physical servers (load balanced of course so u wont get a congested server), then if all of the physical servers are congested enough where they will probably yield a worse experience, then let new users connect to the virtual servers.

   I have suggested this feature on the live chat, and now on here hoping it would get implemented. Thank you

3. On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites.

   On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites. For example, I have a domain that is blocked by my ISP even though 1) I own it 2) It is safe (it is blocked because it is one of those free domains - .qzz.io) and I would like it so that whenever I go onto that domain then Proton VPN works on that domain only not all of my tabs since some domains need localisation (eg. my server that only works in the UK).

4. Allow User-Selectable Exit Nodes with Secure Core

   When creating a VPN configuration file using Secure Core, I would like the option to choose a specific secondary (exit) location within the region I intend to use. Currently, all western U.S. Secure Core configurations default to Los Angeles, which limits flexibility.

   Instead, I want the ability to select a specific state or city for the exit node, in addition to the Secure Core entry location. This would allow for more accurate geographic representation and better performance. Not all users are based in Los Angeles, and routing all traffic through that single location is both restrictive and inefficient.

   This limitation significantly reduces the usefulness of the Secure Core feature for me. If I cannot choose both a Secure Core entry point and a preferred U.S. exit location, the feature does not meet my needs. Additionally, the Los Angeles exit node appears to be heavily congested, resulting in slower speeds.

   Providing users with control over the exit location would make this feature far more practical and effective. I would suggest adding states with strong governance to a list of useable US exit nodes such as: Colorado, Oregon, Washington, in addition to California, for western coverage.

6. More obvious status indication on the windows taskbar

   The status on the current icon on the windows taskbar is so tiny I can barely see it.
   When you hover over it, it does not say if the VPN is connected or not.
   I would like a larger visual indication and also the status when you hover.

7. 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.

8. Improved feature list for Apple TV

10. ProtonVPN CLI on Boot (systemd)

    Launching ProtonVPN on Boot

    Linux users often uses a dedicated machine to store local services.
    It is very important for us to have the ability to enable VPN and Killswitch feature before connecting to Internet.

    Actually, It is possible to configure a systemd service using Wireguard config or OpenVPN config but no KillSwitch feature is ready "out of the box", but It would be very nice to have an OpenVPN CLI that can be used on systemd.

11. Port C/C++ code to Rust

    Mullvad VPN moved from Wireguard-go to GotaTun for improved Wireguard performance and security. Please consider doing the same for Proton. After all, Mullvad has already done most of the work.

    In a rapidly-changing security landscape (e.g. Claude Mythos), memory-safe code is more crucial than ever – especially for something as important and system-wide as a VPN.

12. Add Quick Share Support to Split Tunneling

    Split tunneling does not allow adding or excluding Android Quick Share. Quick Share is a key Android system feature for transferring files between the phone(s) and a laptop. Since it is a system app, Proton VPN does not provide a way to exclude it from VPN filtering or add specific rules for it.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Enable Proton VPN on Android.
    2. Open Split Tunneling settings.
    3. Try to add or exclude Quick Share.
    4. Attempt to transfer files to a laptop using Quick Share.

    Expected behavior:
    Quick Share should be available in Split Tunneling settings, or there should be a way to create rules for it so file transfers can work while VPN is enabled.

    Actual behavior:
    Quick Share cannot be added or excluded because it is treated as a system app. File transfer requires disabling the VPN every time.

    Impact:
    This is critical because users must turn off VPN whenever they need to transfer files using Quick Share.

13. Secure Core Custon

    Would it be interesting to choose a server from the country of origin or a normal server (in the country of origin) or smart routing (outside the country of origin), as the latency and speed would help solve the problem.

15. Improve VPN on Apple devices

    Currently, ProtonVPN works fine on Windows and probably others, but on Apple devices, the VPN has issues connecting and mostly simply refuses. I am in a heavily censored environment, which is likely the issue, but it works fine on windows. Maybe implement windows connection technologies on Apple devices?

16. Allow profiles to select a city on macOS/iOS

    This is already available with Windows and Android, please bring this existing feature to macOS and iOS.

    It's especially useful for users in bilingual countries, where only being able to select a country at the profile/quick connect level often lands you on a server in a city that speaks a different language (and thus causes websites to default to the wrong language).

    Selecting by city is a tedious manual step on these platforms, and is annoying to have to do by hand every time.
