Use RPKI to protect Proton VPN customers from BGP hijacking
In 2020, Proton was the victim of BGP hijacking. In a blog post about the incident, Proton said it was securing its own BGP route announcements using RPKI. However, Proton VPN's ISP (M247, AS9009) does not use RPKI to verify other sites' announcements. This can be seen by going to the Is BGP Safe Yet website Proton linked to in its own blog post. Proton should use RPKI to verify the routes to sites its customers visit so the customers are protected from BGP hijacking of the sites they visit.

Auto shutdown when phone put in airplane mode
I would love for the VPN to automatically stop trying to connect when I place my phone in airplane mode and also have it auto connect when I take my phone out of airplane mode.
While in airplane mode (with no WiFi services, such as on a flight) the application keeps attempting to connect to a server. This significantly drains my battery, unless I remember to manually disconnect it after toggling airplane mode on.

Show server’s/country’s flag on browser’s extension instead of locked icon
It would be a nice visualization and addition to
the browser extension if we could see the flag of the servers or countries we connect to instead of having a green lock. The new browser extension would allow us to see and remember what country we are connected to without having to click the extension every time to see if we are connected . However, when browser extension is not connected to a server I think it is convenient to display a red unlocked icon, since we aren’t connected to a server1 vote -
Search for VPN server
I'd like the ability to quickly type and search for VPN servers/countries, on both iOS and Mac. Surfshark does this and it's such a friendly way to quickly switch to different countries based on my needs. on protonvpn, I have to scroll and search for the flag/abbreviation of the country, which is not a great UX

VPN for iOS 12.5.7 please
Hi,
for part of my communication I use an old iPhone which I can only update to iOS 12.5.7 but not to a newer version of iOS. Would it be possible to get an old version of Proton VPN which runs on that iOS? Trying to install the actual version results in an error message that iOS 16 is needed at least.
As many people - as far as I can see in my peer group around - are using either older phones at all or as a secondary device, it might be interesting to have that available to others,…1 vote -
Provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" connections
First, regarding the WINDOWS client, thanks for the option to "pin" recently used locations/servers (connections). Much appreciated!
REQUEST: To improve the "pin" function on the WINDOWS client (and potentially other clients), please provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" locations/servers (connections).
Currently, on the WINDOWS client, you offer options to "unpin" and "remove" pinned connections.
In addition to "unpin" and "remove" options, I'd like to have an option to "move" where each pinned connection appears within the list of "pinned" connections. For example, upon selecting the proposed "move" option on the WINDOWS client, I hope to be…

Ability to see current load of selected servers - web interface or API
I use the router config exclusively.
Need a quick way other than visiting the web dashboard and drilling down to find current load of any given server... it's cumbersome to visit the web page, click through the menu, scroll down to country, expand the list, then open browser search to find the server you're looking for.
An API would be awesome. With an API in place, clients could be built for various platforms (windows, mac, ios, browser extension, etc.)
Then when server loads goes nuts I can quickly switch (via my router app) to another server I have already configured.

api
Until recently, users could access the API (https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals) to filter servers based on various criteria (e.g., country and server load) to ensure connection to a server that isn't overloaded. This ability was removed within the past few days. Support replied with the following:
Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Public access to the https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals endpoint is no longer available due to internal changes. What you were using previously was not officially supported, and you can either use our native application to access the servers and their load, or manually download config files for a manual connection from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads.

On Apple TV, can you support Profiles, or at least shortcuts at top of page
the Apple TV VPN app shows several “Recommended” country icons near the top of the page, but it doesn’t include one I want to use frequently (happens to be “Ireland”). so, every time I start, I need to scroll through your big list of flags to find “Ireland” and select it.
your iPad app supports a “Profiles” tab, which sort-of lets me make ‘favorites’. it would be nice if the Apple TV app could import those profiles and make them easily accessible
or, maybe let me just add “Ireland” to the “Recommended” list at the top. something like long-press on…

VLAN/Lan access
It should be possible to define routes which are not routed over the VPN. So currently my wifi devices are in a dedicated vlan, if I try to connect to a different vlan then with VPN on, its not possible.

Proton VPN for Windows - reconnecting
When a Windows 11 PC sleeps/hibernates the VPN client does not reconnect and "spins". You have to fully close out of the VPN app, relaunch and then reconnect.

Change or revert the new look.
Companies seem to always go back and forth with this constantly in these industries with making things look more compact. Usually all this does is make it take more clicks to get to something that the user needs to get to making it more inconvenient to use. Function over form please. When trying to pick a certain or specific connection now it takes three to four clicks going through menus when it used to just be a list.

Ugly Green. Offer additional VPN app theme color choices.
The new redesign is great, except for the ugly grandma kitchen green theme. Also, why is the best look you could come up with is some fading fog of war looking filter as if it's a video game from 1997?
If you're going to stick with the fog of war look, then at least allow us to choose the colors.
I'm cool with all of the other green, it's just that fog look you got. It's really the only theme color that dominates the entire space. I'd much rather that filter be disabled, but if you won't let us disable…

Bypasser (split tunneling) like Surfshark in iOS
Somehow dev in Surfshark make a bypasser (split tunneling) on iOS. So it is possible to change. It would be great to have a split tunneling in Proton. Please 🙏

What if Proton VPN offered access to SCION?
SCION is slowly growing to become more integrated leveraged by Anapaya (https://www.anapaya.net/scion-internet). Access to services using SCION like electronic banking solutions is usually limited to companies as they can afford entering SCION networks directly. Inidividuals seem to be limited to "wormhole" themselves into SCION.
What if Proton VPN offered direct access into SCION?
If I understood correctly the architecture would be as follows: on my personal device I use Proton VPN connecting to an SCION-enabled (they call ist SCIONabled) VPN server. Whenever I require resources from SCION the Proton VPN server running Anapaya EDGE (https://docs.anapaya.net/en/latest/edge/deployment/#appliance-edge) puts…1 vote -
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.

macOS/iOS Feature Parity with Windows/Android
The Windows and Android apps often lead the way with new features, and those features frequently never make it to macOS or iOS.
For example, profiles are much more configurable in Windows/Android than they are in the Apple apps. Similarly, if you look at the requests on this site, there are many that are planned for Windows/Android … but will never come to macOS or iOS.
The macOS and iOS apps are surprisingly limited -- you can't even tell what city you are connected to in the macOS app -- and it's frustrating knowing that other platforms enjoy much more…
