Make Proton VPN app and CLI work with bridged or teamed network cards
Bridged or teamed network cards are not an unusual or exotic configuration; you use them if you have more than one NIC in your PC and want to use them efficiently, and some virtual machine software (such as Fedora libvirt) require that VM guests use bridged network connections on the host if you want those VM guests to act as independent entities on the local network.
The current Proton VPN app and CLI fail to connect and actually bring down the PC's network on Linux Fedora (44) if that PC has a network bridge.
The current workaround is to download…1 vote -
More Netshield statistics
At the moment, you can see in Netshield how many adverts have been blocked and how many trackers have been stopped.
It would also be great if you could see exactly which ones and on which page or in which app they were.
The display keeps resetting. I’m fine with that in principle, but an overview of these statistics would be very interesting for tech enthusiasts. ;-)

Alternative Routing support on Linux
On many restrictive networks, Proton's default endpoints have been blocked even if the protocols haven't. The other platforms that Proton VPN runs on have the "Alternative Routing" feature, where the application connects you through a different endpoint if the default one is blocked. However, on Linux, the default *.protonvpn.net endpoints are used no matter what, which are easily restricted.
Adding this feature would mean users would be able to use the Linux client on networks that block the standard Proton endpoints.

Replace ads to bypass anti-ad blocker censorships
You could toggle a switch and instead of fully blocking ads it replaces them with like a “blocked by Proton” 1-5 seconds video, so that he website/app thinks it loaded a ads but in reality it didn’t, to help fight AD BLOCKER censorship

ssh tunnels
Ssh tunnels to allow a public ip and port to inbound to a lan device. Not a full vpn. Limited to a single port.
Some providers block all inbound traffic that is unsolicited, on their network. Both ipv6 and ipv4. This also breaks ipv6. But, instead of using a full wireguard client which is much lighter than the extremely heavy protonvpn client, nevertheless it causes bsod. I would like to be able to simply use something like putty to get an inbound port opened to a local lan device. It does not have to be a fixed port number or…

Dedicated IPs , Rotating IPs , Double VPN Costumized
Dedicated IPs in major countries like the USA, Europe, Japan — something like NordVPN and Surfshark do, where we purchase dedicated IPs and choose the countries. However, it would be nice to include some shared dedicated IPs in the paid plan, with an additional fee option to have your own Proton IP in a country of your choice — Nord and Surfshark offer this.
Double VPN like Surfshark does — you choose both countries, the entry and exit points. It's not meant to eliminate or improve Secure Core, but rather for a customized Double VPN experience.
Rotating IPs — another…

Proton curated NetShield allowlist for privacy-respecting services
Instead of implementing per-user domain whitelists across all VPN apps, Proton could maintain a curated allowlist of privacy-respecting domains (like www.startpage.com) that are exempt from NetShield ad blocking.
This could be either:
enabled by default, or
offered as a single opt-in toggle.Pros: Simple implementation (DNS-side only), consistent across all platforms, supports privacy-friendly business models.
Cons: Requires Proton to curate and maintain the list and some users may disagree with inclusion criteria or prefer maximum blocking without exceptions.

Add a "Change Server" Option Before Connection on Windows
In the free plan, Proton VPN provides access to servers in 10 countries and automatically connects to the fastest available server.
On Android, while the app is attempting to connect, a "Change Server" option appears every few seconds, allowing users to switch to another server before a connection is established. This is very useful when the selected server is unreachable or blocked.
However, on the Windows version, the "Change Server" option only becomes available after a successful connection. If the selected server cannot be reached, users may get stuck trying to connect and have no way to switch servers.
Please…

Split
Split tunneling is extremely useful but could benefit greatly from another level of splitting so that apps could be put into a home country only vpn tunnel, switched to when opening. This would allow some apps that don't work under a vpn to work since geography often seems to be the issue. I realize this could mean a reconnect, but this ensures staying on vpn and not forgetting to re-enable it to the preferred default other country. When it switches, a second notification could effectively remind that a switch occurred (since the standard notification is there forever and so becomes…

Custom DNS on Windows
The Android version currently allows you to set custom DNS servers on a profile-by-profile basis. Windows has a single "custom DNS servers" setting that applies to ALL profiles.
Make Windows version like Android.

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…

VPN Status on Android Control Panel
Instead of having the status of the connected VPN shown through notifications only. Can we also have the option to expand the quick connect button in the control panel of Android to show the status.
I don't need to have it keep showing in my notifications but would like to be able to check once in awhile by swiping down to my control panel.

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.

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…
