1. Linux app for arm64 GUI and CLI

   Hello, like many users, I use a low-power ARM64 machine for P2P downloads via Torrent. The problem is that there isn't a Linux ARM64 application yet, which prevents me from setting up the Port Forwarding as explained in the guides, since I have to use it through WireGuard instead of the official app.Is this release planned? Thanks.

2. Allow connecting via CLI as non-root

   Previously, I could run the CLI as my standard user on Arch without issue, so I added it to my ~/.zprofile, ensuring that I would always be connected to a VPN server. My login flow is to login to the TTY and then start a GUI from there.

   I updated my system on 2026-05-23, and since then, protonvpn fails with "unexpected error." If I open a terminal emulator after I start a GUI session and use the CLI from there, it prompts me for root privileges. I am the sole user of the laptop, but I do have a separate administrator account that I use solely for system maintenance. I should not have to use root credentials every time I log in.

3. ability to use the vpn extension or app to indicate if a website has one of proton's ip banned due to other user's abuse

   WARNING the core ideea is people who are ABUSING proton vpn. Please be very very carfull because i am talking about people who abuse

   You visit a website? it's blocked? why? abuse

   well then to click on the extension or app and it will register it.

   then, proton will have a records that, Lumo, can have a look around and find who is who without invading the privacy of anyone who is serious.

   once found, said person, even if using proton pass, to recive a warning from Lumo, because again, 100% privacy, on said person's main account.

   Like this anyone who was flagged by mistake can contact proton custom without any privacy issues.

   and anyone who abuses proton will now avoid paying money since their name will be on it to a degree or other.

   as in, a profile is build up. And people with malicious intention want to avoid that at all cost.

   and if they use proton free, there to be different ip from the one for people who pay... as if, as i said, such people want to stay away, they won't use the free proton vpn when others are "better".

   so at least we get rid of them via: website is blocked? we flag it. Lumo checks what users where the ones who recently where on that website, if they are pass or main account, and, even if lumo does not disclouse he email or otherwise, can report findings of abuse. And Proton's CS can then decide if there is enough for a warning, if not even ban, or even police or simple to just "rember" that account to build up a case of, if any further mesurments are even needed.

   WARNING: as i mentioned, i am talking JUST about people who abuse proton VPN

   also, me mentioning Lumo is because of how someone can "monitor" while 100% privacy.

   as in, no, it's not 2 or more ideeas. it's just one, the one for flagging if an IP is banned.

   So? we flag, proton recives the report? what can now proton do without affecting the 100% privacy trust? This is why i mentioned Lumo, because it's not possible to compromise privacy if people are involved.

   WARNING the core ideea is people who are ABUSING proton vpn. Please be very very carfull because i am talking about people who abuse

   You visit a website? it's blocked? why? abuse

   well then to click on the extension or app and it will register it.

4. 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.

5. Keep Windows 7 support, please don't force us onto Windows 10/11

   Hi everyone,

   I was shocked to see Proton VPN drop Windows 7 support yesterday, 07/07/2026. Please provide a legacy client or a 12-month transition period for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit users.

   Forcing upgrades to Windows 10/11 contradicts Proton’s privacy mission. Features like default 'typing personalisation' (keystroke monitoring) and Windows 11’s 'Recall' (automated screenshots) severely compromise privacy.

   I use Windows 7 for technical autonomy. Switching to Linux isn't viable as I rely on expensive, proprietary engineering software.

   We choose Proton to protect our data. Please don't force us into privacy-invasive OS environments. We need a working Windows 7 solution.

6. Application Logs

   In settings > view logs - create a toggle to enable Application, WireGuard and Transaction logging within the application. There are benefits to having this logging available, however it should be disabled by default and only enabled for troubleshooting/debugging issues. This would improve application performance significantly and it would remove a potential privacy issue related to application log access.

7. Please support Proton VPN CLI for cygwin

   Please support Proton VPN CLI for cygwin as well as Linux/Ubuntu/Debian. I use both cygwin and Ubuntu, but with Rust creeping into the kernal, am still sticking with my preferred runs on cygwin. It just feels lighter than Ubuntu.

   Many software programs no longer run on Cygwin, which drives me to Ubuntu for certain work. When you ask that the software still support Cygwin, the developers will say, "Nobody uses that anymore." Not true. By not supporting Cygwin people are driven off Cygwin---it is NOT that we "leave" it voluntarily.

10. New country on Proton, Please!

    Hi Proton Team,

    I am writing to suggest a new server location for Proton VPN. Since you have recently expanded the network massily to 145 countries—including heavily restricted regions like Turkmenistan—it would be an incredible milestone to add North Korea (Pyongyang) to the list.

    I completely understand that placing a physical server inside North Korea is impossible due to geopolitical and security risks. However, this could be successfully implemented using Proton's "Smart Routing" technology, hosting virtual servers in a secure nearby location (like Tokyo or Singapore) while providing a North Korean IP address.

    Adding this rare geolocation would showcase Proton's advanced routing capabilities and position the service as the ultimate leader in global coverage, directly competing with legacy networks like HMA that became famous for offering this specific location.

    Thank you for your continuous work on internet freedom and network expansion!

    Best regards.

11. 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.

12. Domain Split tunnelling in Desktop app

    In the Windows app, there should be an option to split tunnel domains as well as IPs, sometimes specific apps block VPNs and it would be nice to split tunnel a specific domain device wide rather than having to choose an IP because IPs don't always work, especially in some games that block VPNs

16. Missing data transfer notification option

    In the notification area, only the country and total upload/download and speed since the start of using the application are displayed. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to specify, for example, daily download/upload or weekly or monthly or select a date from when to when. This option would be great for tracking a monthly data plan

18. 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.

20. 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.
