Feature request: Add forwarded port API method
Problem: There is no officially support method for a torrent client to obtain the currently active forwarded port from Proton VPN.
Current practices: The only way I've found to determine the port is to scrape the VPN client log. This is not officially supported and thus brittle, not to mention inefficient.
Proposed solution: Add a lightweight REST listener in the client to respond to API requests. Including forwarded port status, so that a local client can determine if the VPN is currently active, if port forwarding is enabled, and what the current port is. A unified cross-platform client API would…

Exclude networks
I am surprised that it isn't possible to exclude networks like my mobile provider and my home wifi in order to save battery power.

A system for transfering included/exluded application paths when updating versions of ProtonVPN
Right now, user's have to go though and manually recompile the list of included/excluded applications(or IP's) when using the split-tunneling feature. This is more than just inconvenient, it is a security risk, opening the door for increased chances of user error.
The implementation of this feature doesn't have to be complicated and would definitely provide a quality of life increase for the applications user's.

Split tunneling with hostnames
In the current tech landscape, the same website can be served through thousands of distinct IPs, changing over time depending on specific criteria or even between deployments. It is humanly exhausting, and frankly unfeasible, to require that we have knowledge of IPs or IP ranges to exclude a specific site from VPN usage.
I firmly believe that it is possible to implement the ability to provide access through hostnames (to enable any level of subdomain as well) without the need for a Herculean effort, even if it is necessary to require the user to use a specific DNS service.

Linux CLI connection status
I use the ProtonVPN CLI on my Ubuntu MATE system. (I don't use the GUI app because I do not use Gnome.)
It works well and I'm happy with it, but after I enter
protonvpn connectand it exits successfully with news of an established connection, I don't know much of anything about the connection itself.According to the CLI
--helpargument the available commands are: ('signin', 'signout', 'info', 'connect', 'disconnect').I would like to suggest adding a command to this list, "status". That is,
protonvpn status.This command would show whether the VPN connection is established or not,…

Backup Split Tunneling List
A way to backup our URLs and IPs to Proton Drive. I recently had to uninstall/reinstall and then had to manually readd my entire list. Would be nice to have a way to backup the list, especially to Proton Drive, to have the peace of mind the data is safe.

More physical server providers in Indonesia
Hello. I just noticed that u guys finally added a new server provider in Indonesia that is actually located in Indonesia. From what i have noticed it looks like the multiple servers are from the same server provider. Is it possible to have more servers from another server provider?
The reason for this is the fact that sometimes our ISPs have a bad link to that server provider which will add latency or make our speed worse. Not only that sometimes that said server provider can have a bad international link to some servers that maybe we want to access.…

Android TV Kill Switch
Hi,
I am a paying user of the Proton Unlimited pachage and I am very happy with Protons VPN. However, I use an androidbox on my tv and I am missing a killswitch!
Please add this as soon as possible because this is a real deal braker for me and I will probably switch back to Nord VPN if this is not fixed in the near future. I dont get why such an importand setting is not implemented in the android version of your VPN! I read many complaints about this issue on Reddit and people are looking at other,…14 votes -

Per-Container VPN Routing in Firefox/Zen
Enable Proton VPN to define VPN routes not only globally across Firefox—as currently supported—but also on a per-container basis, similar to Mozilla VPN’s behavior. This enhancement would significantly increase flexibility and privacy for containerized browsing workflows.
Use Case Examples:
- Personal Container: Connect through the user’s home country to access domestic services such as banking or local news.
- Language Learning Container: Route traffic via a foreign country to immerse in content and media in the target language.
- Work Container: Use a dedicated VPN route optimized for workplace access or remote server geolocation.
- Research Container: Connect via specialized…9 votes -
Integration in GL.iNET firmware
Hi
You already integrated Proton VPN into Vivaldi browser (wich is closed source and looks pretty shady). So can you consider integration your VPN into GL.iNET firmware?
I will be really happy with this. And many GL.iNET customers too.
You can see that it is required by this links:

Upgraded VPN for Mail Plus Subscribers
I have been a Proton Mail Plus subscriber since 2021. As such I'm entitled to use the free version of Proton VPN. I just learned, however, non-mail subscribers can download and set up the same exact free VPN. To be clear, it appears they pay nothing for this. Seems unfair to paid mail subscribers. I would suggest providing an upgraded VPN with more features for Mail Plus subscribers; something short of VPN Plus. After all, there should be some benefit to being a paid mail customer versus a non-paying, non-customer. I recently cancelled my Express VPN subscription so I could…

Using Proton client as an endpoint or route through existing device with proton vpn with LAN availability.
Please add a way to create make the device as an endpoint.
Similar to NordVPN's meshnet.
This would be especially helpful to use netflix so it shows up as in the same household.4 votes -
Latency
You mention gaming as a usecase but don't display latency for servers.
I've used/am using Proton VPN but since I couldn't know latency without manually testing every server and then logging into the game , I had to get exitlag just for gaming. Please implement at latency information and if possible implement something similar to exitlag so I don't have to have multiple subscriptions.2 votes -
per app network traffic view like in Windows Task Manager
The Task Manager in Windows shows a live per app view of network data traffic. When using Proton VPN, all network activity is aggregated and listed as data traffic from Proton VPN.
It would be nice if you could see the per app usage in the Proton VPN app.
When the current download or upload traffic is uncommonly high, I would usually check which app is responsible, perhaps you might want to stop the process. Currently, you have to guess what causes the traffic.

Proton VPN Windows client prevents LAN access. Help!
When the Proton VPN Windows client is connected to the VPN, I am unable to access other PCs on the LAN. If PVPN is disconnected, then the PCs are accessible. The setting in the client to allow LAN access is enabled. The PCs on the LAN all have static IP addresses, as do all the networking devices. So, how can LAN resources be made available when PVPN is connected?

Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.
Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.
On my local network, I have to use a browser to access the settings for my Ethernet box. I could exclude the browser. However, I would prefer to exclude only the Ethernet box URL and be protected for other URLs.
Note: I haven't found a solution to this problem. My “Allow LAN connections” setting is enabled. It doesn't allow access to the Ethernet box, probably because of the browser session, I guess.
