ProtonVPN: better support for arm linux (Raspberry Pi, PinePhone, etc)
ProtonVPN gui and cli can be installed on various operating systems running on different arm devices. It seems that Debian-based OSes like Raspberry Pi OS and Mobian cannot properly use either tool. The connection fails and ultimately you are unable to access the internet. In order to correct this you need to run:
sudo nmcli connection delete pvpn-ipv6leak-protection
as suggested here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319033/internet-stops-working-after-installing-protonvpn.
It would be nice to see more devices/oses supported. Until then when the connection fails at least it should clear any connection leftovers automatically.

Show current connected profile label in the GUI
When connected to a profile, the Windows GUI shows:
Country >> Server
IP Load
Protocol SpeedsIt would be nice to see current profile name there as well. And also the profile may be highlighted in the list to indicate that it is currently connected. Without this feature it is hard to tell at a glance which profile is being used at the moment. So the user either has to memorize all the servers, or always reconnect to the needed profile to ensure it is being used.

Folder selection for Split Tunneling
Easily exclude all sub-executables of a service by selecting a whole folder instead of having to manually select every file by hand.
As an example, Steam needs much more than just the main executable and the game's executable to work properly with Split Tunneling.

iOS 14 Home Screen Widget
It would be great to be able to add a Widget to the home screen on iOS that includes:
- connection status (as an easily visible background color would be great)
- quick-connect buttons if disconnected (to profiles and/or recently connected servers)
- a disconnect toggle (can it include a confirm notification?)12 votes -
Dynamic IP address
IP addresses of servers should be changed on daily basis as it will not get detected as a "VPN IP Address" by sites who block internet connections when they see shared IP address.

Support connecting over http/socks5/Tor bridges
Although ProtonVPN may not directly provide bridges, it would be convenient for users living in places with strong internet censorship to have ProtonVPN over their censorship circumvention proxies, which might not be secure. Routing traffic through those insecure proxies to ProtonVPN will provide their accessibility to the outside internet securely.
Usually, Shadowsocks/V2Ray/Clash, the famous censorship circumvention tools, provide http/socks5 proxies locally. ProtonVPN could connect to the Internet over them.

ipv6 support
Please do support IPV6 connectivity (The purpose being to be to establish ipv6 connections through the tunnel)
(Currently, IPV6 needs to be disabled to use protonVPN otherwise there is ipv6 leakage. As a result, ipv6 connectivity is broken when using protonVPN)

Add ability to exclude country's servers for quick connect
When I use the Quick Connect feature it always connects to servers in my country (Russia), but in my case, it is useless because I use a VPN to access servers that are blocked in my country. And because of this, the Quick Connect feature becomes totally useless. Could you add an option in preference to exclude servers that are located in the configured countries from quick connect servers?

Allow adding multiple users to an VPN account
Please make an option to add other users on the same network for the VPN service.
My family wants to use VPN at home but I don't want give each person my username and password to log into the ProtonVPN software. I'd rather have a simple family option where you can assign permission to an extra person or two to the same account, at least per network.
Hell, I'd even pay a teensy bit extra too for that feature as I think it's a perfectly reasonable request.

Latency display
When you click on a country, the list of servers for that country appears. The only thing missing is the latency you are getting from that server. For example, I click Estonia, I see all the Estonian servers. Right next to each Estonian server, there would be a number telling you what ping you're getting, like 150ms. I think this feature would be a useful one to add because choosing a faster connection would be easier if you could see the latency. Also, with this ping, for the box that shows your internet speed over a time period of 60…

Netshiled status in Linux Cli
Hi,
It would be nice that when we use the command pvpn s to get the status on the connection, that the status of netshield was also available.
We have the protocole UDP/TCP, Kill switch status, but not the netshield.
Thanks a lot.8 votes -
Disable VPN when on trusted Wifi Connections
I love ProtonVPN. I use it on my Android phone, and have it installed on my home router to protect all my devices on my home network. When I connect my Android phone to my home wifi network, I would love for my ProtonVPN app to sense the new connection and disconnect it on my phone--so that I only use the mobile app when I'm out in the world on 4G/5G and public wifi connections.

Disconnect VPN for timed period
My default is to leave ProtonVPN connected. If I disconnect it, its usually for a specific task, like trying to resolve zoom glitches, accessing a site that isn't available with the VPN on, or trying to speed up a large file download. 99% of the time I do not remember to turn ProtonVPN back on after the task is complete, and I discover its off 1/2 - 1 week later. I would love the ability to turn off ProtonVPN for a set time period: 1/6/12/24 hours etc and then have it resume the fastest connection possible.

VPN App Shortcut
It would be great if VPN app would have a shortcut to Connect action (maybe even one to Fastest and another to Random). This would allow to create an icon on the home screen tapping which would immediately initiate VPN without opening the app.

Porn/adult sites blocker for NetShield
Warp (CloudFlare) has a feature for their equivalent of NetShield that also blocks porn/adult sites from the DNS, in addition to options for malware and ads. Consider adding this for a family-friendly setting?
