  2. Why on earth would you ban the use of your unlimited paid VPN in Windows 7?

    As far as I know, even though Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7, we can still use it at our own risk!
    What’s gotten into you to act even worse than they do?
    Why not let us use your VPN?
    What’s in it for you to arbitrarily cut us off? Pressure from Microsoft? A business agreement?

  3. Manual Port selection

    Hi Team,

    I would like to request an optional manual port selection feature for WireGuard (UDP/TCP) and other supported protocols.

    For IPTV users, network performance can vary significantly depending on the port being used. Some ISPs throttle or prioritize traffic differently, and being able to switch between server-supported ports (e.g., UDP 53, 80, 443, 51820, etc.) could greatly improve streaming stability and reduce buffering.

    The current Auto mode should remain the default, but an Advanced option for manual port selection would be extremely valuable for power users.

    For example, Windscribe VPN already offers an optional manual port selection feature directly…

  4. On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites.

    On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites. For example, I have a domain that is blocked by my ISP even though 1) I own it 2) It is safe (it is blocked because it is one of those free domains - .qzz.io) and I would like it so that whenever I go onto that domain then Proton VPN works on that domain only not all of my tabs since some domains need localisation (eg. my server that only works in the UK).

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. Advanced Kill Switch breaks NetworkManager after reboot on Linux (Fedora 44 + other distros)

    The Advanced Kill Switch on Linux has a persistent bug that breaks networking after a system restart. I experienced this multiple times in the past on Fedora 44 (currently using Standard Kill Switch).

  9. 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.

  10. ProtonVPN + Tailscale compatability

    Hi Proton team,
    I really appreciate how fast Proton iterates. One recurring pain point for privacy-conscious self-hosters is VPN + Tailscale coexistence.
    When Proton VPN is active (especially with kill switch), Tailscale stops working properly. This forces users to constantly disable one or the other, which defeats part of the purpose of running self-hosted services privately.
    Would it be possible to improve split tunneling / "Allow LAN access" so that it reliably works with Tailscale (and similar tools like Netbird or Headscale)? Even a dedicated "Overlay network mode" or better documentation would help a lot of power users.
    Thanks for…

  11. 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?

  13. 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.

  14. ProtonVPN WireGuard config renaming

    I need to use ProtonVPN configs on multiple devices and multiple servers (because they get blocked very often) and it would be more comfortable if I could rename the configs already made so i could later change the names from jumbled mess to an actual normal name

  15. tunnel

    Full Split Tunneling Support Across All DevicesWhile I love Proton VPN, I would heavily rely on having a dedicated Split Tunneling / Custom Tunnel option fully available on all operating systems. Being able to choose exactly which apps or IP addresses route through the secure tunnel—and which ones bypass it—is a game-changer for balancing security with local network speeds.Having one ultimate account to unlock everything, paired with total control over my network tunnels, would make Proton the undeniable, all-in-one ecosystem for power users.Thank you for listening to community feedback, and keep up the spectacular work!Best regards,

  17. Add configurable notification display modes

    Add an option to customize how notification popups are displayed. Currently, notification text can be too long and wraps to a second line, making the compact notification window less convenient.

    The app should allow users to choose between two notification modes:

    Compact mode: shows only the most important information selected by the user, such as download and upload speed, without extra details like total downloaded or uploaded data.

    Full mode: shows the complete notification with all available information, similar to the current display.

    This would make notifications more flexible and easier to read depending on the user's needs.

  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…

  19. 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.

  20. Add a protonvpn website API or webpage to obtain public IP address

    The current https://protonvpn.com/what-is-my-ip-address website is convenient in order to find out my device's public IPv4 address. However, the way it is coded, the address is displayed using javascript (default 127.0.0.1). This makes it impossible to use curl from a script to find out the device's public IPv4 address. As a result, scripts have to use other websites. There are many that offer this, but it's not very private.

    For those of us who need an algorithmic way to find out IPv4 address using a script, it would be nice if Proton offered this same capability. For example, https://ifconfig.me/ can be…
