1. 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 locations. This would not only be less annoying for users, but also more profitable, so I think both sides would benefit from this change.

2. 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.

   We have Proton VPN Plus but the Amaon/FireTV app does not offer the Kill Switch option. And the amazon app version is not the same as the version on our laptops...why?

4. 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

6. Add a timer to do automatic release and re-connect (adding reconnect to lowest # connections server in group)

   I find, on the Mac at least, that my VPN connection will become saturated and will fail after a while. I can solve this by disconnecting and then reconnecting. This seems to flush the tcp/ip stack and allows for network traffic to begin again. I then see qBitorrent is transferring on multiple connections again. Sometimes I need to restart qBitorrent as well, but not nearly as often. I don't know if this is a bug in the tcp/ip stack or how Mac handles the traffic on an OS level. It may also be from the saturation in the network stack because of the torrent client causing massive traffic. Regardless, a simple disconnect and reconnect usually fixes it.

   I believe this would also solve another issue. The VPN stays connected regardless on a specific server. It does not do a smart round robin check to see which server has the least traffic in the particular country group and then reconnect to the one with the lowest # connections. Theoretically the lowest traffic as well, but that would assume a fixed amount of traffic on each connection and we know that is not true.

   An automated timer based disconnect and reconnect option would solve a couple of issues:
   1) Fix the over saturated network issues that cause transfers to stop.
   2) Automatically disconnect and reconnect to the server with the lowest number of active connections, and potentially less traffic.

   • Make it so the reconnect only happens within the same country group as originally selected so that torrents stick to torrent friendly servers, etc.

8. 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 users to establish their own VPN connections in this way, handling the making and breaking of connections while fast switching between accounts. The inability to do so is a significant drawback for ProtonVPN users on macOS if fast user switching has to be used for other reasons.

9. 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.

10. Fix the Proton VPN app - high ram use and lag

    See here - https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1h7g8vs/why_in_the_name_of_god_proton_vpn_takes_so_fing/. Proton VPN uses hundreds of MB RAM. And lags horribly when opened.

    Please investigate and fix this. I assume you're using some sort of HTML framework. Maybe swap to something designed for desktop and speed - like Avalonia or Flutter.

13. Subject: False positive blocking ConvertKit

    Hi Proton Team,

    I’ve noticed that ConvertKit email links are being blocked by NetShield even when set to “Malware only.” Specifically, these domains fail to resolve while NetShield is active:
    ck.page
    
    convertkit-mail.com
    
    convertkit.com
    
    These are legitimate marketing/redirect domains used by ConvertKit, a major email service provider. With NetShield disabled, the links work fine.

    Could you please review and remove these domains from the blocklist so they are not blocked in Malware-only mode?

15. Support Usage across multiple local users on Mac

    Currently some Proton apps are unusable on a Mac with multiple local users. For instance if you have Mac User A and Mac User B both with Proton accounts (PA and PB)

    Mac User A installs Proton VPN and Proton Drive and logs into each with PA

    Mac User B uses "Switch Users" to log into their local Mac account and tries to use Proton Apps

    *Proton VPN: The app will open and Mac User B logs in with their Proton B account but the VPN will never establish a connection. It will say "connecting" but eventually time out with no error. The user is not protected by the VPN and their public IP is exposed. The only way to fix this is to use Activity Monitor and Force Close Proton VPN on Mac User A's process list, but this requires Admin access and is not always possible. 
    
    *Proton Drive: Mac User B is not able to open the Proton Drive app at all. There is no error message it just does not open.

    I usually use 5 different countries for my everyday cell phone usage. I like to switch them from time to time. It would be nice to have them in one profile, so that country changes automatically when reconnecting.
