Feature request – Smarter Wi-Fi-based auto-connect rules on iOS
Hello Proton team,
First of all, thank you for Proton VPN and the whole Proton ecosystem. I’m a paying user and I really appreciate your focus on privacy and on open, well-documented security.
I’m writing to request a feature that I believe matches a very common and “natural” use case for VPNs on mobile phones, especially on iOS.
Current situation
On iOS, we can use auto-connect and some Shortcuts automations, but there is no simple way to express the following behaviour:
Automatically connect Proton VPN on any Wi-Fi network, except for a few trusted ones (for example my home Wi-Fi).

Add an VPN endpoint to the Faroe Islands
Hi Proton VPN team,
I’m writing to request the addition of a Faroe Islands server to the Proton VPN network. Many Faroese students studying abroad and are unable to acces content from ect. local tv stations.
CURRENTLY, NO VPN PROVIDER OFFERS AN ENDPOINT THERE, which limits our ability to participate fully in these programs. Due the Faroe Islands small size, not many other countries cover local events there.
Adding a Faroe Islands node would not only serve the local population (~50 k residents) but also attract a niche market of international students and researchers interested in Faroese culture.
Thank you for considering this request. I…

Autoconnect when wifi is lost, disconnect on trusted wifi,
I use a vivo Fold 3, there's no VPN option available. Only from within the proton app.
Like Surfshark, an auto connect when no WiFi would be so good. And then, auto disconnect when on trusted WiFi, would be a great addition. As my router is always connected through proton VPN, there's 2 vpn's active when I'm home. And always need to manually disconnect the VPN ... In 2025... Please add these features.4 votes -
Add options to exclude one's own country from autoconnect in Android TV
On Android TV you can select a favourite country and it should have priority over everything. Apparently this does not work when adding vpn lock through adb. The system calls the Proton VPN app on Android TV and the app autoconnects to the fastest server which, in my case, it's always in my country.
This is not good and, for many, could even be unsafe.

Backup Split Tunneling List
A way to backup our URLs and IPs to Proton Drive. I recently had to uninstall/reinstall and then had to manually readd my entire list. Would be nice to have a way to backup the list, especially to Proton Drive, to have the peace of mind the data is safe.

Each fresh login receives a new IP address. The Windows app requires opening the VPN to view it. I would like to see it in the taskbar app.
In the previous windows version, I could see the IP address without opening the full VPN.
Not so with this latest version.When monitoring security events on websites I need to see what my IP address is to determine if it's my traffic or something else.

iOS request - pause VPN
I am often using apps on my phone that will refuse to open if they detect VPN. I would, like the option to pause VPN for 5, 15, 30 mins, 1hr, 24hrs etc (same as NordVPN) so that I can quickly manage my activity on these VPN-phobic apps and then not worry about reconnecting (I often forget to reconnect after).

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.

Replace location switch timers with advertisements
The way that the free version of Proton VPN currently works (on mobile, at least) is that the locations users can switch to are randomised, and there are timers that force you to wait between switches. Not only is this annoying for users, but from a business perspective, it doesn't seem very profitable. I understand that these features are here to encourage people to buy the premium version, but that leaves the people who don't want a subscription not being profitable at all. My proposal is to replace the timers and randomisation with needing to watch an ad to switch…

Physically Located VPN Server on the Philippines
Hello,
Could you please consider adding or switching to a server provider that is physically located in the Philippines?
I’ve noticed that other VPN providers like Mullvad and Windscribe use Zenlayer for their Philippine servers. Perhaps Proton could explore incorporating Zenlayer as well to enhance local connectivity and performance.
Thank you for your consideration.

auto reconnect to same profile in a interval basis
I would like that Proton VPN reconnect to the same profile (but different server) in a interval basis, as I feel that after some hours the server gets overloaded and my connection very slow, I get myself needing to manually stop/start the connection to get to a different server. this process could be automated

VPN Network Automation
PIA has a feature where the iOS app, and presumably its other apps, detect whether you’re connected using a cellular network or any number of known or unknown/public WiFi networks …. And you can set the app to take specific automated actions when it detects a change in network connection:
-always maintain current VPN connection status
-always connect to VPN
-always disconnect from VPN
etc.Used in conjunction with the kill switch, you could… set your phone to disconnect from the vpn upon detecting connection through your home network but always enable the on-device vpn client when it detects you’ve…

VPN on Apple Watch
VPN on Apple Watch. You are unprotected if one of your devices is not protected. It's not enough to protect the mobile, the watch goes with you and uses all types of connections.

macOS - Enhanced support for fast user switching
Currently, it appears that ProtonVPN does not support multiple ProtonVPN users of the same macOS machine, while using fast user switching.
After fast switching to a second user who also launches ProtonVPN, any attempt to establish their own VPN connection is unsuccessful. If the second user's instance ProtonVPN remains open, this also causes the original user to be unable to connect if their account is later returned to.
Logging out rather than fast switching does not appear to cause the same issue. Nor does manually closing ProtonVPN before making a fast switch to another user.
Other VPN providers enable multiple…

browser extension
The browser extension needs a bit of rework because it severs the connection a lot of times when it's on, regardless of whether it's a secure core or normal connection. It could also include CleanWeb, so it's not just in the desktop app, and also it could be more specific, ic uBlock Origin, so it could block scripts and have special filters. And the ui could do a bit of rework too.
