2. Browser extensions remember recent servers / cities

   It would be nice if the browser extensions remembered a few of your most recently used servers / cities and made those available as buttons that are shown when you click to open the extension. For example, Nord VPN's app has this feature directly below the blue "quick connect" button.

4. Copy forwarded port from the tray icon menu

   With the new Windows app, copying the port can get a bit annoying. Currently, the way to copy the port is by opening the app, hovering over 'Port forwarding', and clicking the copy icon. This adds a lot of unnecessary delay, like waiting for the app to open or for the flyout with the port to fade in.

   Adding a 'Copy port' entry in the tray icon menu would be a quick and easy way to quickly copy the forwarded port number.

5. Add the percentage [of serve use], to log to the least busy server, in the profile column, at left.

   It would be useful to add the percentage [of serve use], to log to the least busy server, in the profile column, at left. You could eliminate the country name, and the city, as it is abbreviated.
   So one can see at a glance the least busy server. and log on to it.

6. Allow some choice of where to connect .

   Like I'm sure many others I feel I already have enough security with Protonmail. I need (want) a UK based VPN for about 3-4 months of the year when I am out of the country. (I've found the BBC disables attributes on their news website depending on the ISP address and this is annoying.) I use one or two email addresses at most and am already paying for Mail+ for a load of features I largely don't need. Now you want more money for access to a load more VPN features I don't need or want. Seems a bit unfair

7. Make a Lite version of Proton apps (VPN, drive, mail, e.t.c), for people on older android devices like android 5 (or even android 4)..

   Since the majority of proton apps need a minimum of android of 8 and 9 (except for calendar), I think this would be a good idea for both sides (customers and business). People on lower/older end devices get to use proton services, which also leads to the point of more potential customers. Would really like this to happen. kind regards

8. Provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" connections

   First, regarding the WINDOWS client, thanks for the option to "pin" recently used locations/servers (connections). Much appreciated!

   REQUEST: To improve the "pin" function on the WINDOWS client (and potentially other clients), please provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" locations/servers (connections).

   Currently, on the WINDOWS client, you offer options to "unpin" and "remove" pinned connections.

   In addition to "unpin" and "remove" options, I'd like to have an option to "move" where each pinned connection appears within the list of "pinned" connections. For example, upon selecting the proposed "move" option on the WINDOWS client, I hope to be presented with at least one or more (preferably all) of the following options for moving a pinned connection:

   (a) "move up one" position in the list,
   (b) "move down one" position in the list,
   (c) "move to top" of the list, and
   (d) "move to bottom" of list list.

   Or as a more "ideal" solution, upon selecting the proposed "move" option, I'd like to be asked to type a number corresponding to the position (in the list of pinned connections) where I want the particular connection to appear, i.e., moved to position 1, 2, 3, etc. But I imagine that such an "ideal" solution may be difficult to implement. And if so, please at least implement something similar to the above suggested (move up, down, top, bottom) solution.

   Related to the above request, please also consider providing an option to manually sort "profiles" as described in the following suggestion: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/49712741

9. Change or revert the new look.

   Companies seem to always go back and forth with this constantly in these industries with making things look more compact. Usually all this does is make it take more clicks to get to something that the user needs to get to making it more inconvenient to use. Function over form please. When trying to pick a certain or specific connection now it takes three to four clicks going through menus when it used to just be a list.

11. One connection per app (Automatic connect if specific app opened)

    I would like to have the option to have multiple vpn connections open at the same time, but only used for specific apps. I would like to use e.g. Switzerland by default but for netflix use every time US etc. So ideally the vpn client notices that I open netflix and connects for this app exclusively to US.

12. Use Split Tunneling to Improve VPN Performance

    Split tunneling allows you to route some of your internet traffic through the VPN while letting other traffic access the internet directly. This can significantly improve performance, especially for activities like streaming or gaming, I had an assignment to research on how can we improve VPNs, so I got this idea from there. When I was working on this idea I hired a research consultancy that helped me in researching the important aspects about this topic.

13. allow ports to be mapped for longer then 60 sec at a time

    currently Proton only allows mapping a port for 60 sec at a time when manually port forwarding us NAT-PMP. Allow users to map for 3600 secounds (1 hour) as is typically allowed when using NAT-PMP functions.

14. Alternative Routing support on Linux

    On many restrictive networks, Proton's default endpoints have been blocked even if the protocols haven't. The other platforms that Proton VPN runs on have the "Alternative Routing" feature, where the application connects you through a different endpoint if the default one is blocked. However, on Linux, the default *.protonvpn.net endpoints are used no matter what, which are easily restricted.

    Adding this feature would mean users would be able to use the Linux client on networks that block the standard Proton endpoints.

15. Linux - Include client options to GUI

    Currently the linux client have several interested features that could be great to have in the GUI.

    For example be able to connect to fastest secure core server, or random secure core (--random -sc), random p2p, etc.
    It could be an option to click connect, like the other ones, or a param that could be added in the Autoconnect or Pinned tray icons, like the already existing "Fastest" option.

    For example:
    1. SecureCore -> --securecore
    2. Random -> --random
    3. RandomSecureCore -> --random --securecore
    4. P2P -> --p2p
    5. RandomP2P -> --random --p2p

    Only the GUI because it has support for Advanced kill-switch would be great to be able to connect to a random and decongested server. Proton have server in countries that usually are lower than 5% of capacity while others are +60%.

    It would be a good option for people like me that only want to connect to a sever without worrying where it is.
    And like these servers are less used, the IPs are usually less blocked by services or bot scanners.

    Options:
    --country TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified country
    Country code (US, GB, DE) or full name ("United States")
    --city TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified city
    City name (use quotes for multi-word: "New York")
    --p2p Connect to fastest P2P-optimized server
    -sc, --securecore Connect to fastest Secure Core server
    --tor Connect to fastest Tor server
    --random Connect to random available server
    -h, --help Show this message and exit.

16. 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 data would be collected, it suddenly asked me to consent to the use of my data.
    There were too many detailed terms and conditions, and there wasn’t a simple “Disagree” button. I couldn’t go back or close the app, so I had to turn off the power to resolve the issue.
    I enabled NetShield in SecureCore and began migrating and deleting ClearNote data. Then I uninstalled it. During this process, which took about an hour, it blocked 900 trackers. After uninstallation, the number of blocked trackers dropped to about 50 per hour.
    I would like to keep NETShield enabled at all times, but in situations like this one—where “you can’t identify the culprit unless you turn it off”—the security risk is too high, so it should generally remain enabled. That’s why I’d like it to display a list of blocked trackers, just like Brave does.

18. 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 window.
    • Tier 2 (Maintenance): A rotating subset undergoes updates, patches, or hardware work.
    • Tier 3 (Standby/Buffer): Reserved servers that can be activated if Tier 1 capacity drops below a threshold.

    This approach is widely used in cloud infrastructure (e.g., rolling deployments, blue-green deployments) and would allow Proton VPN to maintain service continuity without impacting the user's country-specific connection.

    Expected Benefits:

    • Users stay connected to their preferred country's servers throughout maintenance periods.
    • Reduced disruption to region-specific content, language settings, and geo-dependent services.
    • Improved perceived reliability and service quality.

19. More circuvmention

    Hi

    Can you please add:
    1. Support for stealth for Linux
    2. Amnesia WG or V2Ray

    Because 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!
