  3. Integration in GL.iNET firmware

    Hi

    You already integrated Proton VPN into Vivaldi browser (wich is closed source and looks pretty shady). So can you consider integration your VPN into GL.iNET firmware?

    I will be really happy with this. And many GL.iNET customers too.

    You can see that it is required by this links:

  4. SmartDNS

    I'm currently a NordVPN subscribere and it looks like all of my needs except one will be met by Proton VPN. The only thing missing is SmartDNS feature:

    SmartDNS is a technology based on using your DNS to unblock geo-restricted sites and services. It’s somewhat similar to how proxy servers route your internet traffic through a remote server to hide your real IP address and physical location.

  6. Proton VPN: Add regional DNS resolvers to reduce latency outside Europe

    Many Proton VPN users outside of Europe (e.g. in Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia, and South America) experience slow DNS resolution when using Proton DNS via VPN — especially on mobile apps like Proton Mail, which rely on many secure subdomains.

    Currently, Proton DNS resolvers appear to be hosted in Switzerland (or nearby), which introduces noticeable latency for users on the other side of the globe — even when connected to local VPN servers like Melbourne or Sydney.

    Suggestion: Deploy regional Proton DNS resolvers or mirrors in long-latency zones like:

    Australia (Melbourne, Sydney)

South America (e.g. São Paulo)

SE Asia

  7. Split Tunneling as a Premium feature

    Can you enable Split Tunneling in free version? I used plus version for a month and have some setups depending on it but it stopped working.. Free version is enough for my needs, I don't want to pay for all features that i don't actually need.

  8. One connection per app (Automatic connect if specific app opened)

    I would like to have the option to have multiple vpn connections open at the same time, but only used for specific apps. I would like to use e.g. Switzerland by default but for netflix use every time US etc. So ideally the vpn client notices that I open netflix and connects for this app exclusively to US.

  11. Use Split Tunneling to Improve VPN Performance

    Split tunneling allows you to route some of your internet traffic through the VPN while letting other traffic access the internet directly. This can significantly improve performance, especially for activities like streaming or gaming, I had an assignment to research on how can we improve VPNs, so I got this idea from there. When I was working on this idea I hired a research consultancy that helped me in researching the important aspects about this topic.

  13. Split tunnelling would be more useful if it could use URLs and not just IP addresses.

    E.g., paramountplus.com has dozens of IP addresses. Manually finding and trying to maintain all of them (even if the platform could handle that many) would be a nightmare. So it's not very useful as it is, with just IP addresses.

  15. Option for Gig speed support. Premium is ok

    There is a fast-developing trend in US for consumers easily accessing prosumer class high speed fiber for reasonable prices. 5-10 Gb. Mac mini supports 10GbE. USB-C supports 10Gb. Thunderbolt 5 available on Mac... It would be valuable if some of these bandwidth levels weren't bottlenecked at the VPN. My best case seems to be from 10GbE shunted down to ~750 MbE if using ProtonVPN... So the choice is speed OR security? Prosumers are not very price sensitive...

  16. Add netshield setting to profiles in Windows app

    Allow netshield to be specified on/off in profiles as it is in the Android app. This allows ad-blocking to be turned off easily by connecting to a new profile if a web site is not being displayed properly

  19. Auto connect for mobile

    Auto connect on mobile: Like other providers such as Surfshark, an auto connect feature which will enable the VPN on untrusted networks and disable it on ones defined as trusted (including mobile data) would be great.

    Another issue I have is that I will be using the VPN on a network which requires stealth, however when I switch back to a safe network the VPN will remain in stealth, since the connection is the user connecting directly to a server. An alternative could be: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/49616315

  20. All VPN servers on a global network (a similar feature to Surfshark Nexus)

    Currently on Surfshark they have options such as RotatingIP (without any disconnections) thanks to Nexus. This is their name for having all of their VPN severs connected on a global network. This also can change the users server incase of over crowding without any loss of service. (For more info on what it does you can google Surfshark Nexus). Would be nice for a similar feature on Proton.
