  1. Allow searching country based on iso code

    BLURB
    Let's face it - it's cumbersome to search for long country names (e.g. United States). It would be save a significant number of key strokes, to include in the country search list, the 2- or 3- digit ISO country code and show this country first in the results (e.g. US for United States, or CH for Switzerland), so one does not have to choose between all the countries containing "United" (USA, UK, UAE, etc)

  2. Add ad-blocker list option, like BlockAda/Ad-Away of Pi-Hole

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

    Add an option for enable and select pre-choose lists (and maybe, an advance option for add-it manually from filter list for example https://filterlists.com/)

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Custom DNS should be able to be profile-level, not only app-level

    I have a custom DNS at home. I still want to use VPN and for the most part, your app allows this via the Custom DNS configuration. However, I need to manually change that whenever I leave home and use VPN elsewhere. It'd be nice if I could quickly choose between two profiles, one that is just proton-managed defaults to use outside my home. The other is one I can choose when I'm at home and want to use my own DNS (i have locally hosted services I'd like to still be able to access, my own domain blocking, etc).…

  8. Speed Limits for VPN (Split Tunneling)

    When using Split Tunneling (or regular) I need Proton VPN to have speed limiter so it doesn't eat up all the bandwidth.

  9. Better map: individual city markers and country outlines

    The server markers on the map can be confusing, especially in very large countries. lt would be nice to have one marker per City, which would also make it easier to find a location closer to yourself in countries like the USA.
    What makes it even more confusing is that there are no country outlines in the desktop (or at least Windows) client. As a result, you often have to guess where each country marker is. One marker per city would help, but even better would be country outlines like in the Android app.
    Another thing that confused me was…

  10. Multi server hop

    Currently using a service called portmaster that has a very interesting feature that mimicks TOR browser server hopping. Instead of offering a basic VPN service it jumps between multiple servers. Their service is called SPN. I think that is a very great idea and maybe proton VPN could implement something similiar, maybe as an advanced setting for extra privacy.

  11. Disposable browser tabs

    There is a broswer extension called SquareX, that allows us to have "Disposable" broswer tabs. This basically means that the browser tab itself runs in the cloud, which is more or less the perfect secure and private way to do anything in the Internet.
    But as a free service it has pretty big limitations, most importantly related to the quality.
    I think if Proton can offer a similar service with thier paid VPN plans, but with offering at least stable 1080p 60fps quality, that could elevate the entire service to another level compared to the competition.
    Ofc i have only…

  13. Split tunneling for folders

    I would like to have the option to split tunnel folders so that I don't have to add each program individually to the split tunneling list.

    For example, I want to add all my Steam games to the split tunneling list (for multiplayer games), with this option I only had to add my Steam library folder to the list.

    In this split tunneling folder, there could be an option to exclude some subfolders, so that some games, for example, can still run through the VPN.

  14. Keyring program support on Linux

    On Linux, the dbus-system allows the use of other keyring-programs, e.g. KeePassXC.

    Proton-VPN only accepts Gnome-Keyring or KWallet.

    As Proton-Mail Bridge already works fine with KeePassXC, it should be possible for ProtonVPN to use the same tool.

  18. Netshield settings for Browser Plugin

    I would really love to have the netshield an maybe even the killswitch settings in the VPN Plugin for Browsers. There are some reasons why I dont always have my VPN Client on but I would really love to use the VPN in my Browser all time with all the settings.

  19. Show dock / taskbar tooltip in Ubuntu

    Not all, but lots of programs have a tooltip on mouseover on the dock / taskbar.
    For ProtonVPN I had the wish of being informed on mouseover: "Connected to AB-CD#99".
    (Similar for ProtonMail "Connected: myemailaddress@proton.me")

  20. Adult content - move out states that Require ID Verification or create safe list of states

    Consider moving servers out of states (like Virginia, for example) that require ID verification to access "adult content." Failing that, please allow VPN users to create a list of "safe" states or else to block/opt out of those that aren't safe for online browsing.

    Allowing a pre-selected list of states would also be helpful for sites that only operate in certain regions of the U.S. and block access to states where they aren't in business.
