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…6 votes -

Less blocked IPs
I understand that websites, and internet traffic companies (like Cloudflare) attempt to discover IP addresses from VPN, and block that traffic.
I typically have my VPN on all the time, and this presents a problem, as more and more often, I'm blocked from certain websites due to using a VPN. And that list of sites I'm blocked from is growing as they continue to discover which IPs belong to VPN providers.
I get that this is a game of wack-a-mole, but if the VPN usage becomes prohibitive to use some everyday sites and services, it just makes me turn off…2 votes -
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.

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…3 votes -
Back up and restore for ProtonVPN profiles on Android
If a user has quite a few profiles defined and gets a new device, or has another device, the ability to back up and restore ProtonVPN profiles on Android is essential. Right now there is no way to save/restore them.

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…11 votes -
“Display VPN connection duration in the Linux app
Hello,
I'm a Proton VPN user on both Linux and Windows, and I've noticed that, unlike the Windows app, the Proton VPN app for Linux doesn't show how long the current VPN connection has been active.
This is a feature that I find very useful on Windows, especially for checking how long the VPN connection has remained active. I think it would be great to have this information available in the Linux app as well.
Thank you for considering this feature request.
Sincerely,

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.

Websites that are known to track you
I am trying to switch over to Lumo AI but it’s very hard to stay away from ChatGPT or Claude because they are so well made, so if I could have an option that just doesn’t resolve those websites and doesn’t let me visit them when connected through Proton VPN, that would be awesome.
But it has to be explicit that it is blocking them and that it’s your choice; otherwise people will get mad.2 votes -
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.10 votes -
Show server latency
without knowing if I'll get good latency makes people hesitant to subscribe for premium plans. Let people browse the servers and see the latency they get even if it's locked out for free users.

I'd like to have the option to set a kill switch for specific applications.
I've used Proton VPN for a while now and there is only two things I miss compared to my previous VPN:
- I'd like to have the option to set a kill-switch for specific applications.
- A VPN Server on the Isle of Man, because it is a very low censorship territory, that is still technically part of the EU.

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?

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.

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…

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.
