  1. Add split-tunneling to Profiles

    Add split-tunneling as a customizable option for a Profile. This way if someone frequently uses split-tunneling for various applications, they do not have to go into the settings menu and make the app selections every time.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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?

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
