UPnP Port forwarding support
Support port forwarding using UPnP so that applications can transparently and directly request port forwardings without needing manual configuration.
Also please add UPnP support, so that applications can query their public IP address.

Enabling ProtonVPN in Android through sendbroadcast() action
Different networks have different requirements. This is why give to the user the possibility to automate connections would be a win for ProtonVPN application (android). For example at work my wifi does only allow VPN over UDP, so I have to create a special profile. I would love to automate this using https://server47.de/automation/ for example (or whatever), it works very well with wireguard ( i.e. https://android.stackexchange.com/a/250566/398905 ).

Register-free access to VPN (critical for countries like Iran)
In countries like Iran it is very complicated to use proton vpn for very strange reason : it needs registration, and because proton VPN is blocked you CAN'T register. It is very critical thing for countries that block vpn very hard. Recently proton VPN released Stealth protocol. I think it's good idea to let users connect before registering, allow 50-100MB traffic, it is enough to register.
Once again, for people in countries with strong censorship it will be life saving. Please do it, Stealth is the only protocol that works in Iran.

LAN subnet allowlist in macOS client
Add an allowlist of LAN subnets for local routing (macOS). I switched from the PC client, which allows a list of allowable private IP addresses to bypass, to the macOS client which only has the generic "Allow LAN Connections" toggle switch. The macOS client has a lot less functionality and customization: It only passes-through on the current local subnet. If you are on a more complicated local network that includes VLANs, for example if you are on the 192.168.0.x side, you cannot go to 192.168.1.x or 10.0.0.2 or 172.16.0.2, etc. It would be nice to be given the option for…

Monitoring network activity
Concern Proton VPN add-on OR a new Proton service:
My suggestion is about monitoring every network connection made by apps / process, in real time. It doesn't have to be graphically elaborated but the idea is to know who/what established a network connection from which network adaptor, + Ip if applicable, protocol, time stamp, privilege, network port TO where (ip, and other information, usually outside the lan). The purpose is to be conscious of what communication are made in background of our personal computer such as, for exemple background active connections of a closed web browser, any IOT's, any network…

Static Port forwarding
Please change the dynamic port forwarding to static port forwarding why:
In my BitTorrent client I have +200 torrents, dynamic port is boring because EVERY TIME I connect to a server I have to change the port in the BitTorrent client settings and the re-announcement is really long for all my torrents.
Please add to the ProtonVPN dashboard panel or in the application, the possibility to add static port like MullvadVPN do, example for the ProtonVPN Plus plans add the possibility to add 10 random forwarded ports.
Plus static forwarded port may work if you use the manual configuration: OpenVPN…

Profiles: Select Multiple Countries
I would love if there was a way to select multiple country servers for a random pool so when I connect I know I'm connected to one of the preferred countries but a different one each time.

More profile customization with independent features (MacOS 13+)
I would love if we could create a profile with different configurable and automatic combinations allowed as well as multi-select options. So for instance say I wanted to connect to a p2p server in whatever country (don't care) I cannot currently just do that, I need to specify P2P then specify a country rather than random or fastest option (for country selection).

Changing your username once your account is made.
When you create an account with Proton, you'll register using your email address. This email then serves as your username. Personally, I prefer not to feel like I'm logging into my email each time I access Proton. I typically set my username as "drlaggybro," and I find it convenient to use the same username across various platforms and services.
I hope you see this feature request and consider it, thank you for your time.

Country-specific config for wireguard
For OpenVPN it is possible to download a country-specific configuration file which - when used - connects to the fastest available server.
Please provide country-specific configs also for wireguard - currently I can only download a config for a specific server in a country.
Thank you!9 votes -
Lightway protocol
Please add lightweight protocol to the network. I think on your network it would be greater

Revert changes
VPN accelerator, LAN connections, split tunneling, and Moderate NAT, most important being able to select a country (US, Japan or Netherlands) now you have zero choice and get put in a country with no data privacy laws for example.
The marketing people really hit Proton hard over the last few years you see more and more features being eroded away from free users. I thought the paid users supported the free users in their business model? was that not the ethos of Proton VPN years ago? Everyone has the right to privacy?
The blatant limitations being imposed makes you wonder…

Sign in automatically when opening browser, connect automatically
In Firefox I have to sign in every time I open the browser, then hit the connect button. I would also like to be able to set a default vpn to connect to, and have favorite servers listed at the top so I don't have to search. Also would like to stop those pop up windows that show up on every tab until I cancel them asking for credentials.

Add the option to disable the connected taskbar icon overlay
I have a very minimal taskbar with custom icons for everything, and this doesn't fit the theme. I'm sure there's others that have a similar problem and would like to be able to turn off the icon overlay for when connected. I think the option to have only a disconnected overlay or both would be useful too. I'm always using the vpn so the normal state is the one alerting me with an icon and the abnormal one isn't.

As Blockada offer the ability to choose between many safe improve adblock or social tracking etc.
Add an option for enable and select pre-choose lists (and maybe, an advance option for add-it manually from filter list for example https://filterlists.com/)

Unblocking every outbound port on protonvpn's https proxies (web browser addons)
Some websites use a port which is not 80. And, for some reason, those are blocked by ProtonVPN's HTTPS proxies used in their browser addons.
This is a request for unblocking it.1 vote -
Add a toggle to your auto renew feature
Add a toggle auto-renew to your subscription plan. The lack of it gives a semi-predatory vibe that feels out of place in such a trusted and professional company. I understand this may cause losses but your product needs to be more than just a pretty UI. People get VPNs because they don't trust that everyone is continuously monitoring their data and you need to make your company reflect the trust that your customers are looking for.
For your consideration,

Server fallback
Not sure if technically possible but it would be nice to have an automatic server fallback in case the current server is down or slow, have the syste mswitch the connection to another server. I'm talking about router level VPN, of course this is not a problem with the app
