  1. Change iOS app icon color to indicate connection status (or as notification)

    I'm relatively new to iOS, so I might be missing something, but it would be nice if the ProtonVPN connection status was shown as a badge on the app icon. I think what a user can see on the status bar is different depending on the version of iOS and model of phone and, in my case, the VPN status is not shown (which is different from the Android device I used to have).

    I sometimes find that the VPN is not connected (and not trying to re-connect) even though "Always-on VPN) is selected in the app settings and it…

  2. ProtonVPN: wider availability of split tunneling

    Surprisingly, ProtonVPN has been probably my favorite Proton Technologies product since joining the service, initially for email. Split tunneling is great because some websites don't like it when you try to access them with a VPN. I wish it was available on other platforms besides PC, though. Mac and iOS at the very least would be very helpful for me.

  3. Improved server search and profile creation.

    Provide the ability to search for servers and create profiles using filters based not only on country but things like city, state, type of server (e.g., basic, P2P), load, latency, etc.

  5. Include Domain Names in Split Tunneling Exclude list

    Currently, adding a website to the exclude list requires that I first must find out the IPv4 numerical address, which is not easy to do for a lot of people. I eventually found: https://dns-lookup.com

    It would be nice if the exclude list could accept names instead of numbers, it would only require using your own DNS server to return the numerical address to the app as an appended tag for the exclude entry - so the app would still work pretty much the same as before

  6. Low carbon switch

    Similar to the Secure Core switch, a Low carbon switch that would allow to filter VPN servers to restrict the selection to countries where power generation is less carbon-intensive. The list of countries could be either derived of yearly averaged, or refreshed real-time based on e.g. electricitymap data.

  7. Add ability to sellect a specific VPN server in the Android TV application in the same way as it is possible for PC or smartphones

    The experience of working with some online cinemas on a PC and smartphone has shown, they selectively refer to the IP address received from protonVPN, even if these addresses are within the same country.  For some IPs all content is provided, for others only some of it, for others nothing at all.  On a PC or smartphone, the problem can be solved by explicitly choosing a different VPN server in the same country.  On Android TV, there is no independent choice and this often leads to the inability to watch the content of interest.

  8. Add "configuration files" bundles for Plus/Tor/P2P

    I need to ensure i'm always connected on a "Plus" server, (for geo restrictions). For now i have to set one "Plus" server from "Standard server configs" list.

    Currently, 4 lists only:
    * Country configs, it will automatically pick-up a random server in your chosen country, whatever its type (Free, Plus, TOR, P2P, ..)
    * Secure Core configs
    * Free server configs
    * Standard server configs (you choose an exact server)

    Replaced by (all below are still sorted by country)
    * Any (former "Country configs")
    * Specific-server configs (former "Standard server configs")
    * Secure Core configs (no change)
    * Free…

  10. Dedicated IP Address tied to Secure Core

    I would really love to have the ability to purchase a dedicated IP Address within ProtonVPN. This would eliminate blocking by some financial institutions and steaming services who block known multi-user ip addresses.

    If the possibility exist to link the dedicated ip address (in the United States) to the secure core function would be outstanding.

    A reasonable monthly charge (in addition to the regular monthly subscription fee) would be well worth the additional feature.

  11. When will you make Wireguard VPN available?

    When would you please make Wireguard available?

    There are many providers out there already supporting it - at least 10 reputable ones.
    Wireguard is faster than Openvpn and despite being a relatively new protocol I would appreciate it if you allow connections on beta servers.

    I'm using OpenVpn transparently via dedicated router and gaining speed without paying for extra hardware can only be a reasonable ask and a step forward.

    I am a paying customer and I think it will be wasteful to pocket an additional subscription in order to use Wireguard with other providers as I am already with…

  16. Split tunneling, reverse implementation on Android

    I'd like a reverse implementation of Split tunnelling on Android. If I only want to use VPN for 3-4 apps, I have to manually exclude the remaining 350 apps.

    There should be an option to "only include these apps".
