Show server’s/country’s flag on browser’s extension instead of locked icon
It would be a nice visualization and addition to
the browser extension if we could see the flag of the servers or countries we connect to instead of having a green lock. The new browser extension would allow us to see and remember what country we are connected to without having to click the extension every time to see if we are connected . However, when browser extension is not connected to a server I think it is convenient to display a red unlocked icon, since we aren’t connected to a server6 votes -
Ability to see current load of selected servers - web interface or API
I use the router config exclusively.
Need a quick way other than visiting the web dashboard and drilling down to find current load of any given server... it's cumbersome to visit the web page, click through the menu, scroll down to country, expand the list, then open browser search to find the server you're looking for.
An API would be awesome. With an API in place, clients could be built for various platforms (windows, mac, ios, browser extension, etc.)
Then when server loads goes nuts I can quickly switch (via my router app) to another server I have already configured.

Proton VPN for Windows - reconnecting
When a Windows 11 PC sleeps/hibernates the VPN client does not reconnect and "spins". You have to fully close out of the VPN app, relaunch and then reconnect.

Ugly Green. Offer additional VPN app theme color choices.
The new redesign is great, except for the ugly grandma kitchen green theme. Also, why is the best look you could come up with is some fading fog of war looking filter as if it's a video game from 1997?
If you're going to stick with the fog of war look, then at least allow us to choose the colors.
I'm cool with all of the other green, it's just that fog look you got. It's really the only theme color that dominates the entire space. I'd much rather that filter be disabled, but if you won't let us disable…

Business - Organization-wide country whitelist
As an organization, I want to be able to restrict which countries my employees can connect to.
This would support geo-filter restricted sites, ensure traffic is not routed through certain countries, and simplify access from the client providing less countries to choose from.

Australian servers
Could you please add more servers in Melbourne, Australia? We are the second largest city in the country and have the fewest servers by far. Thank you!

Allow incoming connections via IPV6 for P2P servers
ProtonVPN increasingly supports IPV6 for VPN servers! Awesome!
Unfortunately all incoming connections are blocked. This is somewhat sensible from a security perspective in case users don't have a firewall configured, but for P2P makes things impractical.
Currently for P2P enabled VPN endpoints users can use NAT-PMP to automatically map a port for inbound connections over IPV4 to use for their needs. It would be great if this port was also automatically allowed on IPV6 as well, or if there was a setting to disable the firewall that blocks all inbound IPV6 traffic so users can manage access themselves on the…

A browser extension kill switch
Today Proton VPN had a global outage, and I was shocked to see that my firefox browser had disconnected from Proton VPN and was using my real IP connection! I would really like this important security feature added to the browser extension/addon.

Proton VPN ZTNA, and Bandwidth sharing
I'd love a native Proton app/feature for outbound connections from my home router, with four independent options I can turn on or off separately:
Access my own network – securely reach my home devices (NAS, cameras, etc.) from anywhere, without opening any inbound ports on my router/firewall.
Share my bandwidth – let my home connection help Proton's network (extra exit capacity), fully opt-in.
Hairpin my mobile traffic through home – route my phone's traffic back through my home internet connection when I'm out, so it looks like I'm browsing from home.
VPN out specific LAN devices – pick one or…

On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites.
On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites. For example, I have a domain that is blocked by my ISP even though 1) I own it 2) It is safe (it is blocked because it is one of those free domains - .qzz.io) and I would like it so that whenever I go onto that domain then Proton VPN works on that domain only not all of my tabs since some domains need localisation (eg. my server that only works in the UK).

More obvious status indication on the windows taskbar
The status on the current icon on the windows taskbar is so tiny I can barely see it.
When you hover over it, it does not say if the VPN is connected or not.
I would like a larger visual indication and also the status when you hover.5 votes -
Enhance anti-censorship capabilities and update IP addresses promptly to ensure usability in regions with strict censorship.
Currently, Proton VPN is almost unusable in regions with strict censorship, and it is hoped that measures can be taken to alleviate this problem.

Dedicated IPs , Rotating IPs , Double VPN Costumized
Dedicated IPs in major countries like the USA, Europe, Japan — something like NordVPN and Surfshark do, where we purchase dedicated IPs and choose the countries. However, it would be nice to include some shared dedicated IPs in the paid plan, with an additional fee option to have your own Proton IP in a country of your choice — Nord and Surfshark offer this.
Double VPN like Surfshark does — you choose both countries, the entry and exit points. It's not meant to eliminate or improve Secure Core, but rather for a customized Double VPN experience.
Rotating IPs — another…

Proton curated NetShield allowlist for privacy-respecting services
Instead of implementing per-user domain whitelists across all VPN apps, Proton could maintain a curated allowlist of privacy-respecting domains (like www.startpage.com) that are exempt from NetShield ad blocking.
This could be either:
enabled by default, or
offered as a single opt-in toggle.Pros: Simple implementation (DNS-side only), consistent across all platforms, supports privacy-friendly business models.
Cons: Requires Proton to curate and maintain the list and some users may disagree with inclusion criteria or prefer maximum blocking without exceptions.

Domain Split tunnelling in Desktop app
In the Windows app, there should be an option to split tunnel domains as well as IPs, sometimes specific apps block VPNs and it would be nice to split tunnel a specific domain device wide rather than having to choose an IP because IPs don't always work, especially in some games that block VPNs

Implement Rolling/Tiered Server Maintenance to Avoid Complete Country-Wide Outages
During routine maintenance cycles, I've noticed that all servers within a given country are occasionally taken offline simultaneously — occurring roughly every 2–3 months.
This forces users to reroute through servers in neighboring countries, which often serve different regional content, languages, and geo-restricted services. The result is a noticeably degraded browsing experience that undermines the core value of a VPN.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a rolling or tiered maintenance schedule that keeps a minimum percentage of servers online at all times within each country cluster. For example:- Tier 1 (Active): A baseline set of servers remains fully operational during any maintenance…

Add ProtonVPN to the macOS App Store
I'd like the ProtonVPN app to be available on the macOS App Store. The app store enforces the App Sandbox and handles autoupdates for all my apps, so it's very convenient for me. ProtonVPN is already available on iOS so the macOS version shouldn't be too difficult.

More circuvmention
Hi
Can you please add:
1. Support for stealth for Linux
2. Amnesia WG or V2RayBecause in censored networks your connection usually blocked.
Also, please, move all your VPN to 443! Because it is extremely trivial to block ports other than 53, 853, 443!
