1. Split-tunneling on MacOS: Allow to include/exclude binaries, not just app bundles.

   Currently, split tunneling on macOS is limited to .app bundles, which means command-line tools and system binaries — such as /usr/bin/curl, wget, ssh, or custom scripts — cannot be individually included or excluded from the VPN tunnel.

   Thank you.

2. WireGuard Stealth Mode API/Proxy Support for Third-Party Clients

   Hello Proton VPN Support Team,

   I am a Proton VPN user on Android and I have been using the WireGuard configuration profiles exported from the Proton VPN dashboard with a third-party client (RethinkDNS), which provides per-app firewall and DNS filtering and profiles (e.g. with NextDNS) features alongside VPN functionality.

   I have identified a specific issue with mobile network connectivity:

   • When I establish a WireGuard tunnel over Wi-Fi and then switch to a 5G mobile network, the existing session continues without interruption.
   • However, if I attempt to initiate a new WireGuard connection directly over 5G, the handshake fails entirely.

   This behavior strongly suggests that my mobile carrier performs Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and blocks the initial WireGuard handshake packets — which have a well-known, identifiable signature — on 5G networks, while already-established UDP flows are allowed to pass.

   The Proton VPN application itself solves this via its Stealth (WireGuard over TCP) mode, which obfuscates traffic and bypasses DPI effectively. However, this feature is not available through the standard WireGuard configuration profiles exported from the dashboard, as it relies on a proprietary obfuscation layer that cannot be expressed in the standard WireGuard config format.

   My request:
   Would it be possible to provide an officially supported method for enabling Stealth/TCP mode in third-party WireGuard-compatible clients? This could be achieved through, for example:
   - A documented SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy endpoint on the Proton infrastructure that wraps WireGuard in TCP, usable alongside standard WireGuard profiles;
   - Or an open-source implementation of the Stealth obfuscation layer that third-party apps could integrate.

   This would greatly benefit users who rely on third-party clients for functionality not available in the official Proton VPN app, while still needing to bypass carrier-level DPI on mobile networks.

   Thank you for your time and consideration.

   Best regards

3. 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.

5. 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

6. Set Default Connection to Specific U.S. State

   I only ever want to connect to servers in the state I live in. Currently in order to do so I have to manually find that state in the connections list. Connecting to the fastest server will sometimes connect me to another state, and pinning the state connection still lists it as "United States" which is not descriptive and doesn't distinguish it from other pinned U.S. connections. Linux has the option to set the default connection to specific servers or other options (bust not states). This should be available on all platforms, or at the very least allow for creating profiles for specific states.

8. Make it possible to randomize for fastest connection within custom parameters

   For instance, I want it to pick the fastest server anywhere in the eastern time zone using stealth with p2p optimization and onion routing. And maybe allow a corresponding custom server list at the top of the ‘countries’ list, or similar.

   Hi

   Please add more open censorship circumventing protocols..

   Like AmnesiaWG and X-Ray

   This is extremely important to bypass hard blocks. And also it will allow to set them up on rare systems (like OpenWRT routers, Raspbian, DD-WRT etc)

11. Allow User-Selectable Exit Nodes with Secure Core

    When creating a VPN configuration file using Secure Core, I would like the option to choose a specific secondary (exit) location within the region I intend to use. Currently, all western U.S. Secure Core configurations default to Los Angeles, which limits flexibility.

    Instead, I want the ability to select a specific state or city for the exit node, in addition to the Secure Core entry location. This would allow for more accurate geographic representation and better performance. Not all users are based in Los Angeles, and routing all traffic through that single location is both restrictive and inefficient.

    This limitation significantly reduces the usefulness of the Secure Core feature for me. If I cannot choose both a Secure Core entry point and a preferred U.S. exit location, the feature does not meet my needs. Additionally, the Los Angeles exit node appears to be heavily congested, resulting in slower speeds.

    Providing users with control over the exit location would make this feature far more practical and effective. I would suggest adding states with strong governance to a list of useable US exit nodes such as: Colorado, Oregon, Washington, in addition to California, for western coverage.

12. Feature for Proton VPN (gtk) App

    Proton VPN App creates an icon in the toolbar / app-bar, where hovering mouse over it tells "Proton VPN". That is good for the beginner, but the thing I usually want to know is 1) Where am I connected [CH-#123] or if I am not connected, 2) to tell [Proton VPN not connected]. At the present I have to open the "Show" to see the connection. Even more information could be useful, but I have no ideas for that.

    Secondly I want the "Show" appear just below the "Disconnect" option. "Quit" can well be the last one.

13. Option to choose available servers in free version

    Sometimes it can be annoying that I can't choose a stable needed server for me on free version of the VPN, that's why some servers sometimes get overloaded with users and it's really hard to find a different server that isnt as much loaded. Please add this to the VPN!

14. Linux - Include client options to GUI

    Currently the linux client have several interested features that could be great to have in the GUI.

    For example be able to connect to fastest secure core server, or random secure core (--random -sc), random p2p, etc.
    It could be an option to click connect, like the other ones, or a param that could be added in the Autoconnect or Pinned tray icons, like the already existing "Fastest" option.

    For example:
    1. SecureCore -> --securecore
    2. Random -> --random
    3. RandomSecureCore -> --random --securecore
    4. P2P -> --p2p
    5. RandomP2P -> --random --p2p

    Only the GUI because it has support for Advanced kill-switch would be great to be able to connect to a random and decongested server. Proton have server in countries that usually are lower than 5% of capacity while others are +60%.

    It would be a good option for people like me that only want to connect to a sever without worrying where it is.
    And like these servers are less used, the IPs are usually less blocked by services or bot scanners.

    Options:
    --country TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified country
    Country code (US, GB, DE) or full name ("United States")
    --city TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified city
    City name (use quotes for multi-word: "New York")
    --p2p Connect to fastest P2P-optimized server
    -sc, --securecore Connect to fastest Secure Core server
    --tor Connect to fastest Tor server
    --random Connect to random available server
    -h, --help Show this message and exit.

19. 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 data would be collected, it suddenly asked me to consent to the use of my data.
    There were too many detailed terms and conditions, and there wasn’t a simple “Disagree” button. I couldn’t go back or close the app, so I had to turn off the power to resolve the issue.
    I enabled NetShield in SecureCore and began migrating and deleting ClearNote data. Then I uninstalled it. During this process, which took about an hour, it blocked 900 trackers. After uninstallation, the number of blocked trackers dropped to about 50 per hour.
    I would like to keep NETShield enabled at all times, but in situations like this one—where “you can’t identify the culprit unless you turn it off”—the security risk is too high, so it should generally remain enabled. That’s why I’d like it to display a list of blocked trackers, just like Brave does.
