1. New country on Proton, Please!

   Hi Proton Team,

   I am writing to suggest a new server location for Proton VPN. Since you have recently expanded the network massily to 145 countries—including heavily restricted regions like Turkmenistan—it would be an incredible milestone to add North Korea (Pyongyang) to the list.

   I completely understand that placing a physical server inside North Korea is impossible due to geopolitical and security risks. However, this could be successfully implemented using Proton's "Smart Routing" technology, hosting virtual servers in a secure nearby location (like Tokyo or Singapore) while providing a North Korean IP address.

   Adding this rare geolocation would showcase Proton's advanced routing capabilities and position the service as the ultimate leader in global coverage, directly competing with legacy networks like HMA that became famous for offering this specific location.

   Thank you for your continuous work on internet freedom and network expansion!

   Best regards.

2. Feature for Proton VPN (gtk) App

   Proton VPN App creates an icon in the toolbar / app-bar, where hovering mouse over it tells "Proton VPN". That is good for the beginner, but the thing I usually want to know is 1) Where am I connected [CH-#123] or if I am not connected, 2) to tell [Proton VPN not connected]. At the present I have to open the "Show" to see the connection. Even more information could be useful, but I have no ideas for that.

   Secondly I want the "Show" appear just below the "Disconnect" option. "Quit" can well be the last one.

4. MacOS App: window with servers list

   The interface has changed slightly since the last update. The window with server list is too small, and it can't be resized. This is inconvenient. Please add the option to resize it.

5. iPhone VPN active while hotspot enabled

   I would like Proton VPN to protect my iPhone while I use my linux PC to access the internet via the iPhone hotspot feature. The hotspot need not be protected by the VPN, but should be able to work with Proton VPN on my linux PC so that both devices are able to be protected concurrently.

6. Fastest Server Priority Settings — Primary & Fallback Location Configuration

   Summary
   Add a "Fastest Server Priority" setting across all Proton VPN apps (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) that lets users pin a Primary and a Fallback country to the Fastest Server connection mode — so speed-optimized connections still respect geographic preference.

   Proposed Behavior
   When Fastest Server is active, Proton VPN resolves the connection in this order:

   A. Primary — Connect to the fastest available server in the user's preferred country (e.g., Philippines).

   v
   v
   v

   B. Fallback — If the Primary country is fully unavailable due to maintenance or an outage, automatically switch to the Fallback country (e.g., Singapore) without any manual intervention.

   v
   v
   v

   C. Global default — If both are unreachable, Proton VPN falls back to its standard Fastest Server algorithm worldwide.

7. ProtonVPN is not reliable enough to be "Always On"

   On MacOS (and to a lesser degree iOS) there are times when ProtonVPN just stops working, often for many minutes. However, at least on the Mac (Sonoma 14.5, and don't make me use Liquid Glass), when ProtonVPN fails, it still keeps trying to turn itself back on. The result is that the Internet doesn't work at all. This is frustrating on deadline. There have been times when the only way for me to get the Internet back is by uninstalling ProtonVPN and rebooting. Obviously nobody wants that. It's especially frustrating in a time crunch.

   Give me a "Emergency Off" button that cancels "Always On" so I can get a connection when it's really important. Presumably, the button would periodically poll ProtonVPN and turn itself on when a ProtonVPN connection was alive again, hopefully in a short period of time, and if not, the button would notify me of a continuing problem.

   Thank you!

8. Kill-Switch with Split-Tunneling for Mac

   Apparently ProtonVPN has implemented this feature in Windows:

   Proton removes restrictions on simultaneous feature usage on Windows
   - Users can now use Split Tunneling, Kill Switch, and NetShield altogether
   - Split tunneling is currently in beta for Mac and Linux users

   If you’ve been using Proton VPN on Windows, you’ve likely encountered a frustrating "pick two" scenario. For a long time, the app forced users to make a compromise: if you wanted to use split tunneling to route specific apps outside the VPN, you often had to disable other critical security features.

   According to an X post by the company, that friction is finally gone. Proton has just rolled out an update for its Windows application that allows users to enable Split Tunneling, the Kill Switch, and NetShield simultaneously.

   "Proton VPN's latest update on Windows lets you benefit from all three at once, so you can feel relieved while you browse the internet securely," the company tweeted.

   If this is available in Windows; why not available in Mac OS?

10. could we perhaps get a client without systemd on linux?

    Pretty please? I just want to connect from my systemd-less distros and I will need to just switch to another VPN if I am unable to do that for well, obvious reasons.

12. Log out button in Proton VPN Desktop app

    As a user I would like to have a button directly in the proton vpn desktop app, preferably in the "Account" tab in the settings, so that I can easily log out myself in proton vpn (which exists already in the iOS and iPadOS apps to my surprise, but not on the macOS client). Instead now, you need to do that via the shortcut or click on the option on the menu bar under "Proton VPN -> Log out (Shift + Command + W)".

17. VPN exclusion/exlude template for the surveillance/14 eyes/5 eyes countries

    On Android, I can exclude selected countries to be used in a Quick connect mode (fastest server). I always wanted to exclude surveillance countries listed at https://protonvpn.com/blog/5-eyes-global-surveillance#14-eyes (more than 22 countries).

    Why not to simplify the task of adding 22+ countries by creating a template "Surveillance countries" which user can tap and confirm the list of countries to be excluded (not connected to)?

18. World map pin on desktop app to show VPN location.

    On iOS app, when you choose a VPN location, the world map pin moves to that location. It would be nice to have this same behavior on the desktop app (Windows). Right now, the map pin is always in the the center of the country. For example, US shows map pin always in state of Nebraska.

20. Android Widget & Notification UI update for Tor servers

    When you go to the 'Countries' tab on Android you can select from "All, Secure Core, P2P & Tor" options. If you select Tor, one of the options is "Fastest Country." When you connect to that, there is no indication that you're connected to a Tor server unless you either open the app or manually check your IP address.

    If you use the widget on the home screen there is nothing differentiating a regular "Fastest Country" over "Fastest Country via Tor" either in the widget or the persistent notification. In regards to the widget, both use the same lightning icon. You could add text below it to indicate which one is the Tor connection. The UI doesn't make it obvious, you need to open the app which in my opinion, defeats the purpose of the widget. You could also change it to show the onion logo like when selecting a country in the first place.

    In regards to the persistent notification, a "Connected to (Country) via Tor" would be appreciated as well.

    I know it's not as critical as other suggestions, but it would certainly be a welcomes QoL update. Thank you.
