  1. Dedicated IP for personal plans

    It is an option for business users and would be a nice add for home users. My wife is sick of all the capchas and blocked sites from the VPN. I have been using Proton mail since 2019 and the unlimited since last year. Had to switch back to mail only until you add the dedicated ip to home users at a reasonable cost.

    Thank you for the consideration.

  2. Tailscale exit nodes

    I would love to be able to use Proton VPN as exit nodes on Tailscale.

    They recently announced support for Mullvad exit nodes, and I'm sure they would be interested in adding more options:

  3. Add random connection button to Chrome extension

    Would it be possible to add a random connection function and button to Chrome's extensions, like the Windows apps have? Thanks.

    Because I need to keep changing IPs, and I don't want to use the same IPs again within a day.

  5. LAN subnet allowlist in macOS client

    Add an allowlist of LAN subnets for local routing (macOS). I switched from the PC client, which allows a list of allowable private IP addresses to bypass, to the macOS client which only has the generic "Allow LAN Connections" toggle switch. The macOS client has a lot less functionality and customization: It only passes-through on the current local subnet. If you are on a more complicated local network that includes VLANs, for example if you are on the 192.168.0.x side, you cannot go to 192.168.1.x or 10.0.0.2 or 172.16.0.2, etc. It would be nice to be given the option for…

  6. Monitoring network activity

    Concern Proton VPN add-on OR a new Proton service:

    My suggestion is about monitoring every network connection made by apps / process, in real time. It doesn't have to be graphically elaborated but the idea is to know who/what established a network connection from which network adaptor, + Ip if applicable, protocol, time stamp, privilege, network port TO where (ip, and other information, usually outside the lan). The purpose is to be conscious of what communication are made in background of our personal computer such as, for exemple background active connections of a closed web browser, any IOT's, any network…

  7. Use Quantum-Resistant Cryptogtaphic Algorithm

    OpenVPN uses TLS for encryption, Quantum Proof Algorithms including the four selected by NIST are provided by liboqs. The library is already present in repositories of many Linux Distros. liboqs is integrated in TLS, means no additional work is required for the client side. This would be very easy to implement in The VPN.

    Much better alternative would be that Proton makes it's own Algorithm. It would be a good way to add it as an optional feature in the initial stages for testing.

  8. Profiles: Select Multiple Countries

    I would love if there was a way to select multiple country servers for a random pool so when I connect I know I'm connected to one of the preferred countries but a different one each time.

  9. More profile customization with independent features (MacOS 13+)

    I would love if we could create a profile with different configurable and automatic combinations allowed as well as multi-select options. So for instance say I wanted to connect to a p2p server in whatever country (don't care) I cannot currently just do that, I need to specify P2P then specify a country rather than random or fastest option (for country selection).

  12. Sign in automatically when opening browser, connect automatically

    In Firefox I have to sign in every time I open the browser, then hit the connect button. I would also like to be able to set a default vpn to connect to, and have favorite servers listed at the top so I don't have to search. Also would like to stop those pop up windows that show up on every tab until I cancel them asking for credentials.

  13. Allow Killswitch to be enabled with Split Tunnel

    Currently, the app will not allow you to use the Split Tunnel feature if you have the Killswitch enabled. Having migrated from Private Internet Access, I was used to having this possibility with their client and would love to see this in Proton VPN as well.

    Having some exceptions configured to bypass the VPN should not completely block the killswitch feature and open the risk of IP leaks.

    I would be okay with the VPN app completely killing my bypassed connections as well, it wouldn't even have to be gracefully respecting those. That would just be a nice-to-have.

  15. Android: Smart View (Screen/Mirror Cast)

    The Samsung feature called "Smart View" which allows screen casting/screen mirroring your phone to the TV does not work if Proton VPN is enabled despite having the "Smart View" app in the excluded apps list in Proton VPN and despite allowing LAN connections is enabled as well.

    Please fix this issue as this feature can and has been done with other VPN providers.

  16. Ubuntu Touch App

    Presently in the mobile operating system of Ubuntu Touch it is a cumbersome manual process to get a VPN working. Given that such users are a privacy focused bunch, and with Volla and Fairphone offering Ubuntu Touch as a pre-installed operating system option, it might be worthwhile for Proton to make an Ubuntu Touch port of the ProtonVPN app. Shouldn't take too much change to an existing Ubuntu compatible app, and would certainly garner new Proton subscriptions as the only easily set up VPN for the OS.

  17. Add the option to disable the connected taskbar icon overlay

    I have a very minimal taskbar with custom icons for everything, and this doesn't fit the theme. I'm sure there's others that have a similar problem and would like to be able to turn off the icon overlay for when connected. I think the option to have only a disconnected overlay or both would be useful too. I'm always using the vpn so the normal state is the one alerting me with an icon and the abnormal one isn't.

    As Blockada offer the ability to choose between many safe improve adblock or social tracking etc.

  20. Unblocking every outbound port on protonvpn's https proxies (web browser addons)

    Some websites use a port which is not 80. And, for some reason, those are blocked by ProtonVPN's HTTPS proxies used in their browser addons.
    This is a request for unblocking it.
