1. Change the Firefox extension icon based on the split tunneling status on the current domain

   Currently, when the user has enabled split tunneling in the ProntonVPN extension for Firefox, the extension icon always remains green even on sites where the VPN is disabled. This can be confusing, especially if the user does not remember which sites they are using split tunneling on and which they are not. In my opinion, it would be much clearer if the icon showed a green padlock on sites where the VPN is active, and a red open padlock on sites where split tunneling disables the VPN.

   This request applies both to normal split tunneling and to Inverse Split Tunneling (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/50684387-inverse-split-tunneling-for-firefox-extension).

   Furthermore, when clicking on the icon, the message “Protected” currently appears even on a site excluded from the VPN due to split tunneling. It would be more accurate to display the message “Domain *** not protected due to split tunneling” or something similar.

2. Inverse Split Tunneling for Firefox extension

   Currently, Split Tunneling in the ProtonVPN extension for Firefox allows excluding certain sites from using the VPN. It's ok. However, in certain circumstances, the opposite may be preferable: enabling ProtonVPN only for certain critical sites and leaving all other sites to browse without it.

3. "Disconnect" Button over hover profile in profile section

   In the profile section, when connected to a particular profile, it should show the button of "Disconnect" button when hovering over that same profile again. Right now, it shows the connect button again, even if it is connected to that profile.

4. Proton VPN Statistics on Logged-in Account Page

   Hi,
   I use Proton VPN on a router with WireGuard configuration and the generated config.
   Since the Proton VPN apps provide statistics for:
   - Server Load
   - Total Traffic
   - Traffic Graph
   - Other?
   And since my router doesn't provide any statistics on the VPN connection status, it would be nice to have these statistics on the Account web page.

   Would that be possible?
   Thanks and regards

7. Custom country per the webpage/website and app

   Some websites require access from certain country to work and it is annoying to always manually switch the server country while it also changes country for other websites (which may be unwanted).

   To improve this, allow VPN extension user to define per web site (and per app - for a VPN desktop: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/50600438-split-tunneling-select-which-app-connects-through ) rules so user can select VPN server country for any defined website/app. Maybe such config. section can be combined with existing "split tunneling" section.

8. Add QUIC Obfuscation for WireGuard

   Add QUIC obfuscation for WireGuard to help users bypass firewalls and censorship. This feature was recently added to Mullvad (September 9, 2025) and would be a great solution that would also address other requests for obfuscation on The Voice of the Proton Community.

   As of now, there's no way to use it for that streaming service.

10. Enable custom VPN profiles & seamless multi‑VPN switching on Android (shared kill‑switch)

    Android only permits one active VPN at a time, which forces me to disconnect Proton VPN whenever I need to use my work OpenVPN or my home WireGuard tunnel. Because the kill‑switch is tied to the active tunnel, I lose protection during each switch.

    What I’d like:

    • Import custom VPN configs (.ovpn / WireGuard .conf) directly in the Proton VPN app and save them as separate profiles.
    • Profile orchestration: let the app switch between Proton, work, and home VPNs without manually closing the current tunnel first.
    • Smart kill‑switch: keep the kill‑switch engaged during the transition, blocking traffic until the newly selected tunnel is fully up.

    Why it matters:

    Allows professionals who need multiple VPNs (corporate, personal, Proton) to stay protected continuously. Provides a unified experience instead of juggling several apps or scripts. Improves security and convenience for Plus/Visionary users who already pay for advanced features.

    Thanks for considering this enhancement!

11. Proton VPN Windows client prevents LAN access. Help!

    When the Proton VPN Windows client is connected to the VPN, I am unable to access other PCs on the LAN. If PVPN is disconnected, then the PCs are accessible. The setting in the client to allow LAN access is enabled. The PCs on the LAN all have static IP addresses, as do all the networking devices. So, how can LAN resources be made available when PVPN is connected?

12. Allow a config file or something similar for use during automated installs during Windows Sandbox spinup.

    Lots of folks use the Included Sandbox with the Windows Pro versions of 10 & 11. They allow scripts to be run to install apps, like Firefox and VPN's among many others during the OS spinup process.
    
    Allowing the .launcher to have the login and password included would be a great feature or maybe a way to drop a file somewhere that had my configuration info in a place to have your launcher pre-populate those fields for launching the vpn app would be extremely helpful. Having to open my PW manager and copy and paste both the username and password each time I spin the sandbox up makes me no always use the VPN. (paid copy) I like using Proton but if some other vendor implements that feature I would have to switch.

13. The ProtonVPN client works great; I wish I could get PVPN and pfSense working that well.

    The PVPN client performance is stellar, but I seek similar performance for whole home protection by setting up PVPN in a pfSense VirtualBox VM on a separate laptop which doesn't do much else. I've used PVPN via that setup for years. Running speed tests on the same machine as where the pfSense/PVPN VM is running, I have found to be disastrous: incredibly low throughput, no matter what PC it's running on.

    No VPN: 95Mbps. PVPN client: 85Mbps. PVPN+pfSense: 50Mbps (worst case). Those are download speeds given by OpenSpeedTest run from a different PC on the LAN than where the pfSense VM is. Wiregard in client, OpenVPN in pfSense (that can't be worth much).

    I started debugging my pfSense configuration awhile back, but didn't find the issue. I used the guide available on the ProtonVPN website to configure pfSense (available for pfSense 2.7, as I recall). A key thing, though, is that when I upgraded pfSense to version 2.8.1 from 2.7.x, I saw a decrease in throughput (download and upload). That said, while the pfSense upgrade caused some degradation, prior to the upgrade the throughput was also concerning at 30% or more decrease in throughput over using no VPN.

    Any suggestions likely to greatly improve the PVPN throughput when setup in pfSense are appreciated. Also, notes about your experience with router setup of PVPN are appreciated. Better documention from Proton for seting up PVPN with routers and comparisons to the client would be nice.

14. Toggle option to exclude Smart Routing servers in settings

    For all ProtonVPN clients, there should be a toggle option in Settings that allows you to exclude Smart Routing servers from your connection. Something like:

    "Exclude Smart Routing servers (use only servers physically located in your selected country)"

    When you set up your Default Connection to be in your own country, you may be connected to Smart Routing servers which are physically located in another one and therefore will have worse latency.

    For example:

    A user in Argentina sets their Default Connection to "Argentina" for minimal latency. Without excluding Smart Routing servers, they might connect to a server physically in United States, increasing latency and worsening the experience.

    This could be added in Settings -> Connection -> Advanced Settings and would help a lot users that want the lowest possible latency while protecting their privacy.

15. Feature request: Add forwarded port API method

    Problem: There is no officially support method for a torrent client to obtain the currently active forwarded port from Proton VPN.

    Current practices: The only way I've found to determine the port is to scrape the VPN client log. This is not officially supported and thus brittle, not to mention inefficient.

    Proposed solution: Add a lightweight REST listener in the client to respond to API requests. Including forwarded port status, so that a local client can determine if the VPN is currently active, if port forwarding is enabled, and what the current port is. A unified cross-platform client API would be ideal.

16. Replace location switch timers with advertisements

    The way that the free version of Proton VPN currently works (on mobile, at least) is that the locations users can switch to are randomised, and there are timers that force you to wait between switches. Not only is this annoying for users, but from a business perspective, it doesn't seem very profitable. I understand that these features are here to encourage people to buy the premium version, but that leaves the people who don't want a subscription not being profitable at all. My proposal is to replace the timers and randomisation with needing to watch an ad to switch locations. This would not only be less annoying for users, but also more profitable, so I think both sides would benefit from this change.

17. Physically Located VPN Server on the Philippines

    Hello,

    Could you please consider adding or switching to a server provider that is physically located in the Philippines?

    I’ve noticed that other VPN providers like Mullvad and Windscribe use Zenlayer for their Philippine servers. Perhaps Proton could explore incorporating Zenlayer as well to enhance local connectivity and performance.

    Thank you for your consideration.

18. Ability to re-arrange pinned (favorite) servers

    The list of favorites is static at the moment. It would take great effort to re-arrange the list into the desired order, having to remove items, and add them in a planfull matter.

    Therefore it would be very handy, if dragging the list items around would be possible. Thanks!

20. Low Profile VPN Servers/IPs

    Almost all Proton IPs are polluted with bad reputation due to various malicious acts made through its VPN. This is really really annoying for good users.

    I think a large percentage of malicious acts made on Proton VPN servers are done via new accounts that are pretty quickly banned by Proton and by victims- but it still leaves a bad trace on the history of that ip.

    I propose a solution that could at least reduce ip pollution for quite a few users- what if we had few servers (or ips) that you only get access to after a year of subscription- by then if you were to act bad you’ll already be banned.

    it is not the best solution but at least its something
