Improve error message when trying to connect to a VPN without NetworkManager.service
I am using Omarchy and when I installed the proton-vpn-gtk-app package and tried connecting, it displayed the generic error message "Something went wrong | An unexpected error has occured". I had to check the logs to figure out that the reason why it was failing was that the NetworkManager.service daemon was not running, because Omarchy uses systemd-networkd. Unless there's a skill issue on my end, I would like to suggest displaying a more clear error message when that happens, so the users quickly know to switch to NetworkManager if they need to use Proton VPN.

Correct Panama Servers IP Ranges Problem
Hello Proton VPN team
My best wishes for you.Recently you launched Panama Servers through of a suggestion that I send you. Now It's working wrong, because when I connect my devices in that servers, the IP address is from USA (usually from Los Angeles) instead Panama, and when I'm using my Panamanian apps automatically is detected that problem and it's impossible to use them.
Usually the IP address range that I can see when I use Panama server is like 51.179.177.21
Please help me with this problem to change to correct Panamanian IP Ranges, cause is so difficult to…

Better support for GNOME's "Background Apps" feature
Not every Linux desktop environment comes out with support for tray icons, the most infamous one for that being GNOME, one of the most popular desktop environments. Since GNOME 44, it focuses on a "Background apps" feature, which uses xdg-desktop-portal to find apps running in the background, with the ability to show them.
Personally, I must say I like that feature, and would like to avoid installing extensions adding back the tray. At the same time, I'd love it if the Proton VPN was able to start minimized on login in my prefered DE, especially since it's possible for other…

Fix Free Tier Country List: Linux/Config file Shows 10, GUI Apps Display Only 5
This request addresses an inconsistency across ProtonVPN platforms regarding the number of countries available on the Free plan.
Currently:
Linux GUI, CLI, and manual configuration files (OpenVPN/WireGuard) correctly expose 10 free countries, matching what the backend actually provides.
Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and tvOS apps display only 5 countries in their GUI, even though random connecting to all 10 is possible via backend/API.
This creates a confusing discrepancy for users and contradicts the behavior of Linux clients and manual configs.
Proton and web pages also show mixed information (some mention 5, others implicitly reflect 10), further adding to user confusion.

Using Proton client as an endpoint or route through existing device with proton vpn with LAN availability.
Please add a way to create make the device as an endpoint.
Similar to NordVPN's meshnet.
This would be especially helpful to use netflix so it shows up as in the same household.5 votes -

Add disconnect on a timer
Sometimes you want to turn off the VPN to be able to deal with a site that blocks them, but you want to turn it right back on after. NordVPN has a feature where you can disconnect on a timer, like 5, 10 minutes etc after which is automatically re-connects.

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.

Provide warnings for recent legislature changes in selected country
Proton should provide a warning note against countries that have made recent legal changes that impact the internet. This could include things like the UK's Online Safety Act causing websites to behave differently or more serious legislation that allows the government to track or control internet access.
The goal of this feature would be to warn Proton VPN users about impending or recently implemented law changes for their awareness and safety online.

Ability to set default secure core on windows
It would be great to be able to set the default connection to be random country (via secure core) or fastest country (via secure core), just like IOS when you toggle secure core on.

Smart Double Kill Switch (No, this is not Secure Core)
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SECURE CORE
The ability to have two servers, one being the “active” one and another one being a “passive” one, like for aircraft radio, allows for quick switching if one of the servers is not avaliable and also if the connection drops on one, this could be added to Kill Switch to jump immediately onto the 2nd server without any connection interruptions. So like if a server fails you jump immediately onto a 2nd without any drop in connection. Like VPN Accelerator but one server just not sending anything through
Ideas for names: Double VPN…

fully configurable through an MDM
I plan to use an MDM (42Gears) instead of traditional parental controls for my kids' devices (Android + Linux).
Could you design a version of the always-on VPN that blocks all connections without the VPN, and most importantly, is fully configurable through an MDM like 42Gears ?
Thank you!5 votes -
Disassociation of Identity From Activity ('Trustless' Connection)
Taking a page from Apple's iCloud Private Relay and TOR's onion network, I wish to suggest that Proton partner with another trustworthy provider (such as Mullvad or IVPN) to use their servers as 'exit nodes' in an implementation that would separate activity from identity. This would, of course, be for the benefit of reducing demanded trust in Proton (or their partner), and the 'no logs' promise, ensuring greater privacy by design and not just by policy and practice.
This isn't Secure Core.
I figure it's important to clarify how this differs from Secure Core, which is already a 'multi-hop' connection.…

Nevada
Please add servers back to Las Vegas. It was a huge reason why I chose proton back in 2021. Im from Nevada but work out of the state which causes all sorts of issues when browsing or trying to log into financial institutions.

Overcome web site blocking via Google ReCaptcha to identify and block Proton VPN
Most sites are now embedding the Google ReCaptcha technology that identifies and blocks silently all Proton VPN servers! This forces the VPN user to add subscription to residential servers (over Proton VPN) to overcome the ReCaptcha blocking. Or to drop completely the vpn!

Connect Proton VPN on more than one device
Be able to connect to Proton VPN on more than one device with the free plan! I don't think its fair we have to pay to have my phone and laptop connected at the same time. This should be a standard security feature across all devices. This way I can browse the internet more safely by hiding my location. Please consider making Proton VPN available to connect to more than one device with the free plan!!

One-Click App Selection for VPN Split Tunneling
I am requesting an enhancement to the current split tunneling feature by introducing the ability to select applications from a dynamic list of currently running processes. The existing method requires users to manually locate and select executable files from the system directory, which can be inefficient and cumbersome. Incorporating a user-friendly interface that displays running applications—similar to NordVPN’s approach—would streamline the process and significantly improve usability, particularly for less technically inclined users.

Manual Wireguard Peer Configuration
At the moment, have to use a provided secret key for Wireguard. This poses a security issue if you are wanting to use Proton VPN with an existing Wireguard interface.
I have some self-hosted apps running on a VPN protected by Wireguard. If I want to be able to connect to ProtonVPN and my self-hosted apps using the same Wireguard interface, I'd need to use a private key generated by Proton to access both on the same interface. This is both a hassle as I'd have to update all my configs for this key, and also a security risk as…
