per app network traffic view like in Windows Task Manager
The Task Manager in Windows shows a live per app view of network data traffic. When using Proton VPN, all network activity is aggregated and listed as data traffic from Proton VPN.
It would be nice if you could see the per app usage in the Proton VPN app.
When the current download or upload traffic is uncommonly high, I would usually check which app is responsible, perhaps you might want to stop the process. Currently, you have to guess what causes the traffic.

Automatic control of phone VPN
This would automatically connect and disconnect when connected or disconnected to/from a secure WIFI SSID with a VPN already running.
I use DD-wrt on my home router which automatically runs an OpenVPN with a kill switch, so seem an over kill having the phone going through multiple VPNs. Plus periodically it causes a problem connecting to the security cameras, and when turn off on the phone there is no problem.1 vote -
Chrome Proton VPN Extension: Randomized server for subscribed account
This is so weird. I have a family plan.
For free accounts using the Proton VPN browser extension, it just connects to whatever server is available, but for accounts that are paid, there doesn't seem to be a way to have that functionality.
I would like to be logged in to the Chrome Proton VPN browser extension, but I would like it to be randomized each time I launch Chrome, just to make it so I don't have the same IP address every time.
This would be super helpful, and I can't imagine that it would be difficult to implement,…

Android: Proton VPN is functionally worthless for me unless I can turn on kill switch while split tunneling is enabled.
I'll explain the steps I followed on my Android phone:
- I got ProtonVPN, and enabled kill switch to protect myself from data leaks.
- I noticed that certain apps (like my bank app and music app for example) didn't work while Proton VPN was enabled.
- I enabled split tunneling and created exceptions so that apps like my bank app and music app didn't go through the VPN.
- I enabled kill switch, and found out that split tunneling didn't work.
- In order to use my bank app, my music app, or others, I HAD to turn off kill switch. I very very…

App shortcuts are already implemented in Proton Drive, so I do not see any reason not to add it to vpn

More language options (Finnish/Swedish)
Please add the same language options for Proton VPN on iOS/iPadOS, which are already on Proton Email app (29 languages). I wish especially Finnish and Swedish would be added for the VPN app.
The VPN app for iOS now has 17 different language options.
Many thanks!

User Interface Refresh for Fire TV/Android TV + inclusion of profiles
A major overhaul/refresh of the Fire/Android TV apps to bring in some cohesion with Apple TV, Windows and phone apps.
Also to include profile options like Fastest Location (excluding my country) for the TV apps. If not profiles, at least the Fastest Location (ex.) option.

Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.
Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.
On my local network, I have to use a browser to access the settings for my Ethernet box. I could exclude the browser. However, I would prefer to exclude only the Ethernet box URL and be protected for other URLs.
Note: I haven't found a solution to this problem. My “Allow LAN connections” setting is enabled. It doesn't allow access to the Ethernet box, probably because of the browser session, I guess.

Microsoft Edge for Android Extension
Microsoft Edge on Android now supports browser extensions, yet the number of available VPN extensions is extremely limited. At the moment, only a few providers such as AdGuard, Browsec, and NordVPN are present in the Edge Add-ons store.
Although ProtonVPN already offers an Android application, it establishes a system-wide VPN connection. Many users would prefer a browser-only VPN option that routes traffic only from the browser without affecting the entire operating system. A ProtonVPN extension for Microsoft Edge on Android would address this need, offering a lightweight, flexible, and privacy-focused browsing solution while expanding ProtonVPN’s presence on mobile platforms.1 vote -

Please add an option to show current country via mouse-over in the tray
The topic says it already. Instead of having to open Proton VPN to check which country is active, just hovering over the tray/notification area symbol should give us the info, to which country we are connected.

Adult content filtering
Adding adult content filtering option for NetShield feature would be most welcoming for families or people trying to be free of its negative effects for themselves.
I have to use custom DNS option from outside of Proton VPN which can be risky for privacy concerns.
Filtering out industry that too often is predatory, capitalizing on peoples loneliness or people in desperate situations is a net positive in my opinion for everybody involved.

Reuse keys / change peer in WireGuard configuration
Currently if you generate a configuration through account.protonvpn.com/downloads the private key will only be valid for the server you chose. If you want to change the server, it's not enough to replace its public key and endpoint address for another Proton VPN server, you have to generate a new configuration with a new private key.
In an ideal world, I could generate a single configuration / private key, and later change out the VPN server endpoint. This would make it a lot less hurdle to switch VPN servers on routers.

Allow unauthenticated access to HTTPS Squid proxies from Proton VPN IP ranges
One important feature other privacy VPNs offer is the ability to use proxies for per-service split-tunneling. For example, when using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extensions, one can assign different HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies for different containers. This allows users to compartmentalize multiple online identities by assigning a different IP address to them. Some desktop apps also support specifying a proxy.
Proton has already stated that SOCKS5 won't be supported because it doesn't meet some security requirements. However, Proton already operates HTTPS Squid proxies, because they are used by the Proton VPN browser extension.
These HTTPS Squid proxies require authentication though,…

Improve the speed of "Auto startup".
It takes a lot of time for Proton VPN to launch & connect to a VPN server automatically. I log on and have to wait a lot before being able to use the internet as I have to wait for Proton VPN to connect to a server. This is really annoying and is like my number one concern with Proton VPN.
One proposed fix was: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/44812795--feature-request-connect-on-boot, which says "completed" but no matter how hard I try to find this function, it, as far as I know, doesn't exist.
Please do something about this. I'm not a developer so I…

Never Auto Connect to a VPN in My Location
Inside Kill Switch, I want a check for never auto connect to a vpn in my country.
Sometimes I connect to country X, but I have connectivity issues which causes VPN to disconnect, then it retries to connect again multiple times.
When connection is back online, it connects to a VPN in my country, which is exactly what I'm avoiding.1 vote -
Android TV Updater
Please look to include a built in updater, it’s madness that one has to go to the google play store to update it especially when wanting to de google.
