Change the server after connecting timed out (Windows 11, 64-Bit version)

Improve Stealth Mode - it is currently detected by Google
While using Stealth Mode, YouTube is now consistently asking me to sign in, to "prove that I am not a bot". This did not happen in the past. When disconnecting from Proton VPN, YouTube no longer is asking for a sign in. So obviously Google is able to detect the difference between a "Stealth" connection and a normal connection. This would disqualify this protocol as being "Stealth". Please improve Stealth Mode.

Outline Client Configuration file support
Hello
Please also support the Outline Client Configuration File, like WireGuard and OpenVPN config:

WireGuard country config files
If I want to make a config file from the Proton VPN website and choose to use OpenVPN, I have the option to create a config file for Country, Standard server, or Secure Core. Conversely, if I choose WireGuard (which seems to be the strong recommendation in this post: https://protonvpn.com/blog/old-ovpn-configs), I can only pick from Standard server or Secure Core.
This may be fine for the occasional ad-hoc connection, but is not ideal when creating a config file for a router.
The Proton VPN website has the option to "Use the best server according to current load and position"…

Please officially support Linux Mint with fully featured Gui app
You can sort of use it on Mint, but lose a lot of features. It's great that you support so many distros, but consider Mint as a leading distro.

Re-ordering of Created VPN Profiles
I would like the ability to drag/drop and freely change the order of my created VPN profiles so that some profiles appear at the top and are more visible than others.
I have created more profiles over time and have found that I use some profiles more often than others, but unfortunately I have to remember to scroll down to get to them.
This would also be nice for organization, like grouping profiles of a similar purpose together.4 votes -
Ability to Blacklist VPN Servers
The auto-connect profiles often connect me to servers that are nearly unusable (super low speed, high latency, inconsistent and poor quality of connection), so I often end up having to manually reconnect to a different server.
I would like the ability to blacklist/block certain VPN servers and regions, so that the client does not include it in the auto-connection algorithm.

localhost SOCKS5 tunnel like in Mullvad
I would like to see this feature from mullvad in Proton VPN: https://mullvad.net/en/help/socks5-proxy
Coming from Mullvad. This feature is great. I put it in Telegram and if VPN is disabled the application can't access the servers of this "privacy" messenger. It hides TCP Fingerprint, too. Reducing captcha and other garbage detections from antibot systems.

Cidr Notation for split tunneling
I currently have multiple subnets, and adding every single host I'd need a split tunnel is impractical. By allowing CIDR notation on the configs, we could allow 10.0.3.0/24 and have a whole slice of the network bypass the VPN.
As a plus, adding a per-network switch possibility would avoid my 10.0.1.1 (for instance) to be allowed without a VPN on public WiFi, for instance (which ties nicely to the "trusted networks" feature request)

Launch Linux GUI app on boot
I saw a completed post asking the Linux app on boot, but I guess it is not the GUI version, or perhaps not the one for Fedora.
For me on Fedora with the GUI version I have to manually launch Proton VPN every time.
By manually launching Proton VPN:
1 - The system remains unprotected for a certain time;
2 - Creates a needless ritual for every session;
3 - Nullifies the purpose of the kill switch.~/.config/autostart/ , Startup applications or GNOME extensions does not work because the GUI fails to connect during login. Only the kill switch starts…

Linux CLI connection status
I use the ProtonVPN CLI on my Ubuntu MATE system. (I don't use the GUI app because I do not use Gnome.)
It works well and I'm happy with it, but after I enter
protonvpn connectand it exits successfully with news of an established connection, I don't know much of anything about the connection itself.According to the CLI
--helpargument the available commands are: ('signin', 'signout', 'info', 'connect', 'disconnect').I would like to suggest adding a command to this list, "status". That is,
protonvpn status.This command would show whether the VPN connection is established or not,…

Announcement of DNS Filterlists or further Insight into NetShield
It is hard to decide wether to choose Proton VPN with Netshield or a custom DNS Server to avoid beeing tracked by Android App Trackers and App Analysis Tools. This is because Proton gives little information about what connections are being blocked by NetShield. It would be very very helpful to know which common IPs or Tracking Providers are being blocked. That would prevent Users from having to make decisions by gut feeling. It would also bring more Users who are not as tech savvy as others and who want a whole in one solution. Other DNS Server Providers like…

More physical server providers in Indonesia
Hello. I just noticed that u guys finally added a new server provider in Indonesia that is actually located in Indonesia. From what i have noticed it looks like the multiple servers are from the same server provider. Is it possible to have more servers from another server provider?
The reason for this is the fact that sometimes our ISPs have a bad link to that server provider which will add latency or make our speed worse. Not only that sometimes that said server provider can have a bad international link to some servers that maybe we want to access.…

Prioritize physical servers instead of the virtual servers on countries with both
Right now, in Indonesia we have both physical servers and virtual servers. The thing is, when u click connect to Indonesia. It will randomly choose the virtual servers instead of the physical servers. In my opinion this is a flawed logic because not only do we have more added latency. There are also a few different sites that can tell that Proton's virtual IPs are not actually from Indonesia. Not only that, having ProtonVPN prioritize physical servers means that you will also most likely have a better speed and experience overall because we wont have to worry about the quality…

Secure core chaining
I wanted to suggest a potential enhancement for the Secure Core feature. Currently, it’s only possible to select one Secure Core server as the first hop, and the exit must be outside the Secure Core network. It would be great if users could chain multiple Secure Core servers together.
For example, it could allow connections like Switzerland → Iceland, or Switzerland → Sweden, rather than being limited to an external exit server. This would provide an additional layer of security for users who want to maximize jurisdictional protection across multiple Secure Core nodes.
Thank you for considering this improvement, and…6 votes -

per app network traffic view like in Windows Task Manager
The Task Manager in Windows shows a live per app view of network data traffic. When using Proton VPN, all network activity is aggregated and listed as data traffic from Proton VPN.
It would be nice if you could see the per app usage in the Proton VPN app.
When the current download or upload traffic is uncommonly high, I would usually check which app is responsible, perhaps you might want to stop the process. Currently, you have to guess what causes the traffic.

Automatic control of phone VPN
This would automatically connect and disconnect when connected or disconnected to/from a secure WIFI SSID with a VPN already running.
I use DD-wrt on my home router which automatically runs an OpenVPN with a kill switch, so seem an over kill having the phone going through multiple VPNs. Plus periodically it causes a problem connecting to the security cameras, and when turn off on the phone there is no problem.2 votes -
Chrome Proton VPN Extension: Randomized server for subscribed account
This is so weird. I have a family plan.
For free accounts using the Proton VPN browser extension, it just connects to whatever server is available, but for accounts that are paid, there doesn't seem to be a way to have that functionality.
I would like to be logged in to the Chrome Proton VPN browser extension, but I would like it to be randomized each time I launch Chrome, just to make it so I don't have the same IP address every time.
This would be super helpful, and I can't imagine that it would be difficult to implement,…
