ProtonVPN, add VPN traffic obfuscation, like a ScrambleSuit
As internet censorship tightens across the world, governments are becoming more and more concerned about preventing the use of VPN to circumvent their restrictions.
A new internet traffic monitoring technology known as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) has been proven to successfully block OpenVPN traffic regardless of the port used being 80, 443 or even 53. To sum up: everyone who uses the internet needs to be aware of Deep Packet Inspection. DPI is a next-generation technology capable of inspecting every byte of every traffic packet that passes through a DPI device, that means packet headers, types of applications and actual…

Control the blocklists used by Netshield for ad blocking
Please add the ability for users to control the blocklists used by Netshield for ad blocking. Most other tools (such as PiHole, Next DNS etc) allow users to manually:
1. Specify which blocklists to activate
2. Add sites to a white list (this is often needed to get newsletter sign-up forms and login forms on subscription and e-commerce sites to work properly)
3. Add sites to a blacklist (custom blocklist).78 votes -
Allow profiles to select a city on macOS/iOS
This is already available with Windows and Android, please bring this existing feature to macOS and iOS.
It's especially useful for users in bilingual countries, where only being able to select a country at the profile/quick connect level often lands you on a server in a city that speaks a different language (and thus causes websites to default to the wrong language).
Selecting by city is a tedious manual step on these platforms, and is annoying to have to do by hand every time.

More Servers Outside of Jurisdictions with Age Verification Laws
With the implementation of age verification laws in the UK, Australia, and many states in the US, as a ProtonVPN user only using the free tier, I don’t want to connect to a server in a jurisdiction where I would have to show my ID. I propose, as a passive endeavor, that when you, the team behind ProtonVPN buys new servers, you avoid putting them in jurisdictions with age verification laws, to give a better chance of the fastest servers being in restrictive locations.

Allow adding multiple users to an VPN account
Please make an option to add other users on the same network for the VPN service.
My family wants to use VPN at home but I don't want give each person my username and password to log into the ProtonVPN software. I'd rather have a simple family option where you can assign permission to an extra person or two to the same account, at least per network.
Hell, I'd even pay a teensy bit extra too for that feature as I think it's a perfectly reasonable request.

Offer split tunneling, even with the kill switch activated
Sometimes, we want all our traffic to go through the VPN (including things the system does in the background), except for one or two applications/hostnames/IPs. The current approach does not allow this to be done without completely disabling the kill switch.
It's technically possible to implement this, although I admit it may require some changes on the client-side of the VPN. But this is very important!

Reverse Split Tunneling (Browser ext)
Add the ability to choose which websites DO use the VPN (not just which websites should be excluded from the VPN tunnel).

Proposal for Universal Linux App Distribution via Flatpak or Snap
Proton VPN is currently officially supported on a limited number of distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora) through separate
.deband.rpmpackages. This approach requires maintaining distinct packages, which can be an unnecessary burden on your development team, and it leaves out users on a large number of other popular distributions like Arch, OpenSUSE, Solus, and immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue.To address this, we propose adopting a universal Linux application packaging format, specifically Flatpak or Snap, for the official Proton VPN client.
Key Benefits of Adopting Flatpak or Snap:
- Massive Distribution Coverage: A single Flatpak (via Flathub) or Snap…

Add existing Android settings to Android TV
Today, there is no "Settings" section in Android TV app, which means it is impossible to activate features like NetShield, which would be very convenient to avoid ads on TV.

Improved feature list for Apple TV
Apple TV works OK but is bare on features compared to the Android TV app. Would like to see a more complete feature list for the Apple TV, such as split tunnelling, choosing with server within a country, which Protocol etc.

Add Stealth to Router Downloads
Please add the stealth protocol to router download options. Currently you support standard and secure core features only on UDP/TCP. Adding Stealth mode as a configuration download option would allow me to better secure all of my network.

Firewall support within ProtonVPN
If possible, I would like for some basic Firewall settings to be built into ProtonVPN as I can't run both NetGuard (a Firewall only app that acts as a local VPN) and ProtonVPN at the same time on an un-rooted Android phone.
I am mainly looking for the ability to block certain apps from having access to WiFi / Mobile Data.

Block Malware by maintained database (not just dns)
To my understanding you now only block malware based on dns. I would think it would be very nice if also ip addresses of bad actors would get blocked by using realtime databases of such attackers.

Add QUIC Obfuscation for WireGuard
Add QUIC obfuscation for WireGuard to help users bypass firewalls and censorship. This feature was recently added to Mullvad (September 9, 2025) and would be a great solution that would also address other requests for obfuscation on The Voice of the Proton Community.

Override GPS Location (Mobile)
On mobile, as a complement to the VPN it will be spectacular to have an enhacement where the GPS gets override and match the location of VPN location (as an enabled option).
Ex. apps will think GSP location is same as the VPN location.

Improve Stealth Mode - it is currently detected by Google
While using Stealth Mode, YouTube is now consistently asking me to sign in, to "prove that I am not a bot". This did not happen in the past. When disconnecting from Proton VPN, YouTube no longer is asking for a sign in. So obviously Google is able to detect the difference between a "Stealth" connection and a normal connection. This would disqualify this protocol as being "Stealth". Please improve Stealth Mode.

Porn/adult sites blocker for NetShield
Warp (CloudFlare) has a feature for their equivalent of NetShield that also blocks porn/adult sites from the DNS, in addition to options for malware and ads. Consider adding this for a family-friendly setting?

VPN per site
It would be nice to add a feature to browser extension that would allow to set up different VPN countries (or lack of VPN) per site. This is (or at least was) possible in Zenmate.
