  1. Linux systemd-networkd Wireguard DNS config

    Please add a flag to generate Wireguard configs which work with systemd-networkd. Especially the DNS settings are tricky. To get it to work I always have to replace the DNS config with:

    PostUp = resolvectl dns %i <dns server ip>; resolvectl domain %i "~."; ip route add <server ip> via <iface ip>; sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disableipv6=1
    PreDown = resolvectl revert %i; ip route del <server ip>; sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable    ipv6=0

    I believe this is a quick fix and it would make using wireguard configs easier.

  2. Add criteria options for Quick Connect

    The "Quick Connect" button connects to the fastest available server; however, not all servers are made equal. If I want to connect to the fastest server that supports streaming, P2P, or Tor (or some combination thereof), then I have to go to the server list and manually compare available servers, then pick the one that is best. This is especially concerning with P2P, since even different servers in the same region don't consistently support it, and there's no easy way to see the supported features of the server you're connected to without finding it in the server list.

  4. split tunneling for domain name

    Current split tunneling allows IP address and application. The IP address is an unreliable way to open a bypass to an external website.

    Please add the ability to split tunnel to a domain name. This would help with various sites that block VPN Server IP addresses.

  5. Different region coverage for India other than New Delhi

    India has a wide variety of languages, the most common being Hindi, Telegu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. The connection to New Delhi may be impacted by Netflix restrictions for region-specific phrases in particular. More people watch Indian films in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telegu than in Hindi. So, instead of just connecting to New Delhi, think about connecting to those similar states in India.

  6. Pop!OS GNU/Linux Support

    Please provide Pop!OS gnu/linux support.

    Why: System76 is becoming one of the leading gnu/linux computer providers in the US!

    Note: the following error currently shows when attempting to connect via GUI and CLI:
    “ "Setting up Proton VPN. An unknown error has occured. Please ensure that you have internet connectivity. If the issue persists, please contact support.". I contacted support and the team could not provide any help due to lack of Pop!OS support.

    Here are the currently supported versions as of 20DEC2022:
    Debian 10+
    Ubuntu 20+
    Mint 20+
    MX Linux 19+

  9. Create private VPN (like meshnet)

    NordVPN has a great Meshnet feature

    https://nordvpn.com/features/meshnet/

    It would be great to have something similar.

    Thing is Android devices allow for only 1 VPN connection at once (I think iOS is the same?) So I cannot currently use Proton VPN and Zerotier for example. Having a Protonvpn "Meshnet" would solve my needs.

  11. What is the point of VPN profiles, if you cannot save the most essential connection settings into them?

    When I use the VPN for everyday web surfing, checking emails, or streaming Netflix, I do not use features like split-tunnel, port-forwarding, or NAT moderation.
    When I use the VPN for P2P file sharing (torrent), instead, I do need to activate the three features I just mentioned.

    Therefore, at the moment I have to open the application settings and change these three manually every single time.

    What is the point of allowing users to setup connection profiles for different purposes, if you cannot save essential connection settings that are clearly an advantage for some of those purposes (that you designed…

  12. Make systemd dependency optional

    ProtonVPN NetworkManager Library has a hard dependency on systemd-python [https://github.com/ProtonVPN/protonvpn-nm-lib/issues/18].

    I'm upgrading ProtonVPN-CLI and packaging ProtonVPN-GUI in GNU Guix [https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59246], which doesn't have/use systemd.

    Could you please make the systemd optional or make seatd [https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd] an alternative option?

  14. Stealth for Linux

    Develop these applications for the desktop on Linux.
    It's not normal that these applications are not available on Linux for a paid client.
    GNU / Linux is globally open-source, free and fight for the privacy and freedom in the digital world.

  17. Needed features for IRAN

    Hi from Iran
    As an Iranian, I can confirm Stealth protocol is one of the rare protocols that is still working, many Iranians are willing to pay for the premium and Gift the premium version to the ones who can't afford it so that these features will be helpful:

    1)Crypto payment (it's critical!)
    2)Promo codes especially for people in Iran
    3)Add an option to buy the premium subscription and send it to another account as an gift

    Thank you for standing with us ;)

  18. Support stealth protocol on Windows

    Dear Proton team,

    I recently bought Proton VPN pro and it is working fantastic on my phone. As an Iranian user of Proton VPN I have trouble connecting on Windows. I have to try for ages to connect to a server.
    It works great on my phone using stealth protocol.

  19. Register-free access to VPN (critical for countries like Iran)

    In countries like Iran it is very complicated to use proton vpn for very strange reason : it needs registration, and because proton VPN is blocked you CAN'T register. It is very critical thing for countries that block vpn very hard. Recently proton VPN released Stealth protocol. I think it's good idea to let users connect before registering, allow 50-100MB traffic, it is enough to register.

    Once again, for people in countries with strong censorship it will be life saving. Please do it, Stealth is the only protocol that works in Iran.
