macOS: support "Access devices by name" (mDNS/Bonjour) for LAN connections, like Windows already has
The Windows app has "Access devices by name" (Settings → Connection → Advanced → Allow LAN connections), which resolves local hostnames via mDNS/Bonjour while connected. The macOS app has no equivalent - "Allow LAN connections" only permits unicast IP traffic to the same subnet, not multicast/mDNS, so hostname resolution to LAN devices fails while connected.
Workaround is using the device's IP address instead of its hostname, which works but is a real papercut for anyone routinely accessing local devices (NAS, RDP targets, printers) by name while on VPN.
Requesting macOS parity with the Windows "Access devices by name" feature. Confirmed…

Domain-based split tunneling for iOS
A solution appears to have been found for iOS devices by a few other VPN services, like Surfshark & their 'Bypasser' feature.

Support Windows MSIX / MS Store apps for Split Tunneling
When selecting applications to be allowed through or denied for split-tunneling on windows, only the raw path to the exe is supported.
The raw path of MS Store apps like Windows APP to replace RDP has the version in the path to the executable.
It also has seamless updating. So it randomly stops working since my work needed the Windows App to be not going through VPN.Please add this functionality to the UI / Engine to allow at least resolving the path to the MSIX / MS Store app.
You can do this in powershell or similar for example…

Show basic stats in iOS ProtonVPN App and use Stats to connect to optimal server
I wish the iOS could show some basic stats such as: ping time, data upload in past hour/day, data download in past hour/day, max up/down speeds over different time windows.
Next step would be to use the ping data or max speeds to make connection choices - like to reconnect to another server in that country (or a set of countries) based on lowest ping or highest speed server.
At the moment it feels like some of the WiFi networks I connect to might be traffic shaping and I wish ProtonVPN would seek out and reconnect to better servers when…1 vote -
Split tunnel networks
In the split-tunnel section. Allow additional networks to be added to the list of excluded apps. this would prevent local network access from breaking for users who have more than 1 vlan/network that they need access to.

Better VPN Compatibility With Government Services
I think it would be useful if Proton VPN could improve compatibility with government apps and online services. There are situations where users want to keep their VPN enabled while completing important tasks, but some services do not always work smoothly with a VPN connection. For example, people using the eGovPH app for NBI Clearance renewal may need to switch their VPN off during the process, even though they would prefer to keep their connection protected. I came across the renewal process at https://onlinenbiclearance.ph/nbi-clearance-renewal-egovph-app/ while looking into how these services work, and it made me think that better compatibility with…

Replace ads to bypass anti-ad blocker censorships
You could toggle a switch and instead of fully blocking ads it replaces them with like a “blocked by Proton” 1-5 seconds video, so that he website/app thinks it loaded a ads but in reality it didn’t, to help fight AD BLOCKER censorship

Reuse keys / change peer in WireGuard configuration
Currently if you generate a configuration through account.protonvpn.com/downloads the private key will only be valid for the server you chose. If you want to change the server, it's not enough to replace its public key and endpoint address for another Proton VPN server, you have to generate a new configuration with a new private key.
In an ideal world, I could generate a single configuration / private key, and later change out the VPN server endpoint. This would make it a lot less hurdle to switch VPN servers on routers.

Allow unauthenticated access to HTTPS Squid proxies from Proton VPN IP ranges
One important feature other privacy VPNs offer is the ability to use proxies for per-service split-tunneling. For example, when using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extensions, one can assign different HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies for different containers. This allows users to compartmentalize multiple online identities by assigning a different IP address to them. Some desktop apps also support specifying a proxy.
Proton has already stated that SOCKS5 won't be supported because it doesn't meet some security requirements. However, Proton already operates HTTPS Squid proxies, because they are used by the Proton VPN browser extension.
These HTTPS Squid proxies require authentication though,…

add URIs to the protonvpn:// scheme
currently the scheme protonvpn:// exists, but it only opens the app.
it would be really useful if you could do actions with it like connecting or disconencting or connecting to a specific profile, or connect to a specific server with specific settings1 vote
