  2. Proposal for Universal Linux App Distribution via Flatpak or Snap

    Proton VPN is currently officially supported on a limited number of distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora) through separate .deb and .rpm packages. This approach requires maintaining distinct packages, which can be an unnecessary burden on your development team, and it leaves out users on a large number of other popular distributions like Arch, OpenSUSE, Solus, and immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue.

    To address this, we propose adopting a universal Linux application packaging format, specifically Flatpak or Snap, for the official Proton VPN client.

    Key Benefits of Adopting Flatpak or Snap:

    1. Massive Distribution Coverage: A single Flatpak (via Flathub) or Snap…

  3. Netshield improvements on all platforms

    Netshield works well for the most part but it does not block as many ad networks as I would have anticipated. Some mobile games still show ads when being played while Netshield is enabled. I understand the usability aspect of things need to work, it would be beneficial to offer different levels of blocking so we could adjust the service to or liking or standards. This could be done by offering different levels like standard, advanced, adult, family or custom block lists that are supported through the app.

  4. new feature to test all servers in a country for speed and latency and get the result as list

    (1) Please offer a feature to test all servers in a specific country for speed and latency and get the result as a list to chose the best server for use in other apps or as server on the router which doesn't have quick connect.
    (2) Similar feature to find the best available, reachable server for countries with censorship which blocks VPN.

  6. Add Profile Selection to Proton iOS Shortcut

    Please update the iOS ‘Connect to VPN’ shortcut to allow users to select a profile to use for the connection. I have listed below 2 use cases which I would like to achieve.

    Example use case 1: when I arrive at work (done through the iOS shortcuts app) I connect to the work profile which uses the stealth protocol.

    Example use case 2: when I arrive at home (also done through the iOS shortcuts app) I connect to the home profile which uses the wire-guard protocol.

  7. Mobile app - Allow "trust wifi network" option

    VPN Always on - for this feature, it would be nice to have a "trust wifi network" option. Like Nord VPN, you can trust a certain wifi network so when you connect to that wifi network it disconnects the VPN. When you disconnect from that network it reconnects to the VPN. You can have a list of trusted wifi networks remembered in the app.

    Create a profile, be able to pin it, and see the name that you named it. Right now the name is useless.

  9. auto reconnect to same profile in a interval basis

    I would like that Proton VPN reconnect to the same profile (but different server) in a interval basis, as I feel that after some hours the server gets overloaded and my connection very slow, I get myself needing to manually stop/start the connection to get to a different server. this process could be automated

  11. Maintain 'Open' or 'Moderate' NAT Type While Port Forwarding for Enhanced Multiplayer Gaming Experience"

    Why does enabling port forwarding change the NAT type from "Moderate" to "Strict"? It should either be "Open" or remain "Moderate." This distinction is crucial for many online P2P multiplayer games, such as GTA Online & many more, where a "Strict" NAT type severely hampers multiplayer functionality.

    I hope that in the future, Proton VPN can address this issue, allowing users to achieve an "Open" or "Moderate" NAT type while port forwarding is enabled.

    I hope this concern is taken seriously. Thank you.

  12. VPN Network Automation

    PIA has a feature where the iOS app, and presumably its other apps, detect whether you’re connected using a cellular network or any number of known or unknown/public WiFi networks …. And you can set the app to take specific automated actions when it detects a change in network connection:
    -always maintain current VPN connection status
    -always connect to VPN
    -always disconnect from VPN
    etc.

    Used in conjunction with the kill switch, you could… set your phone to disconnect from the vpn upon detecting connection through your home network but always enable the on-device vpn client when it detects you’ve…

  13. Add profiles to Android TV

    Adding the Profiles option to Android TV would make it easier to access apps that don't work with all servers by adding those that work individually.

  14. make it possible to use on a Macbook Pro with a Brave and/or Safari browser

    I have been having increasing difficulties accessing websites with my Proton VPN turned on -- I updated the Brave browser this morning and suddenly I am denied access to nearly every website unless I turn off Proton VPN, which pretty much makes it useless.

    The system try icon displays as "connected" even when it is not. This is problematic for obvious reasons.

  17. Split tunneling with hostnames

    In the current tech landscape, the same website can be served through thousands of distinct IPs, changing over time depending on specific criteria or even between deployments. It is humanly exhausting, and frankly unfeasible, to require that we have knowledge of IPs or IP ranges to exclude a specific site from VPN usage.

    I firmly believe that it is possible to implement the ability to provide access through hostnames (to enable any level of subdomain as well) without the need for a Herculean effort, even if it is necessary to require the user to use a specific DNS service.

    This…

  18. Offer split tunneling, even with the kill switch activated

    Sometimes, we want all our traffic to go through the VPN (including things the system does in the background), except for one or two applications/hostnames/IPs. The current approach does not allow this to be done without completely disabling the kill switch.

    It's technically possible to implement this, although I admit it may require some changes on the client-side of the VPN. But this is very important!

  19. Large connect button on UI does not work in Tahoe 26.

    Tahoe 26 has messed with your UI. The large connect/disconnect button at the top of the UI does nothing on my MacBook Pro M1 Max running Tahoe 26. I have to go down and click the connect or disconnect button that shows up right next to the country name in the list of countries.

    PLEASE FIX.

  20. Add a timer to do automatic release and re-connect (adding reconnect to lowest # connections server in group)

    I find, on the Mac at least, that my VPN connection will become saturated and will fail after a while. I can solve this by disconnecting and then reconnecting. This seems to flush the tcp/ip stack and allows for network traffic to begin again. I then see qBitorrent is transferring on multiple connections again. Sometimes I need to restart qBitorrent as well, but not nearly as often. I don't know if this is a bug in the tcp/ip stack or how Mac handles the traffic on an OS level. It may also be from the saturation in the network stack…
