Add Proxy capabilities to VPN servers
Proton, could you add proxy servers or modify/add your current servers to expose a proxy feature?
I will try to explain what i am trying to do:
I want to have my OpenWRT router connected to one of your secure core servers. After that i would like to be able on my laptop:- See US content: okay, exit to a US proxy
- See japanese content: okay, exit to a JP proxy Etc...
This is very flexible and i just need to encrypt the traffic 1x time (to your secure core server) because afaik proxy traffic is mirrored, isn it?
I…

Reconnect option for active profile.
Please add an option to reconnect the active profile. Right now, if I'm using the Fastest Country profile, and I see that my server load is high, I have to disconnect and then connect again, leaving my network open for a second.
I assume that a proper reconnect button would avoid any lapse in VPN coverage.

Show server load before selecting secure core for each country feature, new version had removed this feature
The new version 4.1.13 did not display the server load before selecting. It is slow and troublesome to connect and found that the country server load is high and I have to switch to another country one by one to find out low server load country and this method is very inefficient and resulting proton and users unnecessary servers connecting and disconnecting. Hopefully this pre-display server load feature before secure core connection can be reinstated back into the new version.

Use RPKI to protect Proton VPN customers from BGP hijacking
In 2020, Proton was the victim of BGP hijacking. In a blog post about the incident, Proton said it was securing its own BGP route announcements using RPKI. However, Proton VPN's ISP (M247, AS9009) does not use RPKI to verify other sites' announcements. This can be seen by going to the Is BGP Safe Yet website Proton linked to in its own blog post. Proton should use RPKI to verify the routes to sites its customers visit so the customers are protected from BGP hijacking of the sites they visit.

Proton VPN: Add regional DNS resolvers to reduce latency outside Europe
Many Proton VPN users outside of Europe (e.g. in Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia, and South America) experience slow DNS resolution when using Proton DNS via VPN — especially on mobile apps like Proton Mail, which rely on many secure subdomains.
Currently, Proton DNS resolvers appear to be hosted in Switzerland (or nearby), which introduces noticeable latency for users on the other side of the globe — even when connected to local VPN servers like Melbourne or Sydney.
Suggestion: Deploy regional Proton DNS resolvers or mirrors in long-latency zones like:

Add netshield setting to profiles in Windows app
Allow netshield to be specified on/off in profiles as it is in the Android app. This allows ad-blocking to be turned off easily by connecting to a new profile if a web site is not being displayed properly

Add proxy on to change country to certain location in the world
I run a company in another country, and the VPN alone isn't sufficient. If you could set up a proxy to make the devices appear as if they're in a different location, it would greatly help, especially for any government-related work on our website that requires specific location settings and options to be enabled.

Hello. Please add Iranian servers to the program and I will promise that your download rate will double.
hello Please add Iranian servers to the app and I promise that your downloads will double. And please give me a lifetime premium account if this happens because of this offer.
Iranians who live outside Iran, which are many and there are about 10 million people, have to access Iranian IP for their banking work in Iran, and only cyberghost vpn provides Iranian servers and all Iranians abroad They have to buy this vpn from Iran. Please set up servers in Iran so that we can use your vpn.
To build an Iranian server, please build it yourself in Iran…7 votes -
Implement a whitelist for websites accessible outside the VPN
I recommend introducing a whitelist mechanism that allows approved websites to be accessed directly over the Internet. Routing all traffic through the VPN is not always necessary and may, in some cases, raise performance or security considerations. A controlled whitelist would enable specific websites to bypass the VPN while preserving overall security and governance policies.

ProtonVPN Extension Login Change
When you login into the ProtonVPN Extension it would be better if it did not log into all other Proton services (Mail, Drive etc.) on the web. If you're only using that.
It should only log into the extension alone. I'm sure users will agree this is better in general for security.

Why on earth would you ban the use of your unlimited paid VPN in Windows 7?
As far as I know, even though Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7, we can still use it at our own risk!
What’s gotten into you to act even worse than they do?
Why not let us use your VPN?
What’s in it for you to arbitrarily cut us off? Pressure from Microsoft? A business agreement?6 votes -
Keep Windows 7 support, please don't force us onto Windows 10/11
Hi everyone,
I was shocked to see Proton VPN drop Windows 7 support yesterday, 07/07/2026. Please provide a legacy client or a 12-month transition period for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit users.
Forcing upgrades to Windows 10/11 contradicts Proton’s privacy mission. Features like default 'typing personalisation' (keystroke monitoring) and Windows 11’s 'Recall' (automated screenshots) severely compromise privacy.
I use Windows 7 for technical autonomy. Switching to Linux isn't viable as I rely on expensive, proprietary engineering software.
We choose Proton to protect our data. Please don't force us into privacy-invasive OS environments. We need a working Windows 7 solution.

Request for an "App-Specific Block Log" feature
Suddenly, my smartphone's temperature rose to 43°C, and ProtonVPN's battery usage reached 38%. Upon checking, I found that while connected to the fastest server, NetShield had blocked 200 trackers in just 30 minutes.
After switching to SecureCore, the number of trackers was cut in half, and the temperature dropped to 24°C.
ProtonVPN used the most power, while Brave Nightly used the most data. This doesn’t tell us who the culprit is.
Just as I turned NetShield off, a "ClearNote consent pop-up" appeared. Although the Google Play Store stated that no data would be shared with third parties and that no…6 votes -
Extend NetShield content blocking options
I wish NetShield had more fine-tuned content blocking options beyond malware and ads/trackers. Mullvad can also block the following:
- Gambling
- Adult content
- Social mediaPlease add these options to NetShield so I don't have to trust a third party custom DNS (and risk being fingerprinted for it). Proton might treat this as low priority, but it's important to me. This and DAITA are some of Mullvad's distinctive features, so I'd appreciate if Proton had them too.

Port C/C++ code to Rust
Mullvad VPN moved from Wireguard-go to GotaTun for improved Wireguard performance and security. Please consider doing the same for Proton. After all, Mullvad has already done most of the work.
In a rapidly-changing security landscape (e.g. Claude Mythos), memory-safe code is more crucial than ever – especially for something as important and system-wide as a VPN.

Update TV app interface & add more features
I've been using Proton for years and one of the things that still bugs me, although certain things have been added we're still lacking a kill switch and many more modern settings with a modern interface that alignes with the rest of the VPN apps. Will this be addressed at all? I know it's something myself and others have asked for a lot over the years and I know whilst TV apps may not be the top priority it's something many of us need nowadays, I've had it a few times where my IP has been exposed as the app…

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.
