Linux client as a Flatpak
As Flathub is available in most distros it would make sense to publish the linux client as a Flatpak. And in addition with groving numbers in immutable distros, Flatpak is the prefferred method to install software.

Add Support for Encrypted Custom DNS (DoH/DoQ) on macOS
Currently, Proton VPN on macOS only allows custom DNS configuration via plaintext IPv4. This exposes DNS queries to interception and does not align with Proton’s privacy-first principles.
Please add support for encrypted DNS protocols—DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH, RFC 8484) and DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ, RFC 9250)—within the macOS app’s DNS settings.
Many providers, such as NextDNS, do not accept unencrypted IPv4 queries unless pre-authorized. This limits usability and reduces privacy.
Optional IPv6 support should also be respected where resolvers prefer or require it.
Adding encrypted DNS support would ensure stronger protection of user traffic beyond the VPN tunnel and reinforce Proton’s commitment to privacy…

Peer-to-Peer Mesh Networking with NAT Traversal
Enables direct peer-to-peer VPN networking, like Tailscale or ZeroTier. This would allow devices on my Proton VPN account to see and connect to each other using private IPs, as if on the same LAN.
This kind of functionality would be very helpful for cloud gaming, remote development, and device syncing, without needing a third-party solution.
Specifically, I’m asking for:
Private IPs for each device on the VPN
Peer-to-peer connectivity with NAT traversal
Optional routing via Proton servers when needed
Thank you for all your amazing work — this feature would make Proton VPN even more powerful.

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.

IPV6 support in WireGuard Configuration Files
IPv6 is supported when using certain desktop apps, and so all of the IPV6 endpoints must also exist for the various VPN servers. However, they are omitted in the WireGuard configuration files when downloading directly (for example, for using wg-quick or other WireGuard application directly).

Port Forwarding support for MacOS
Port Forwarding is available on Windows but there's no ETA about its availability in Mac (OSX).
MacOS is behind not only in Port Forwarding but also Split Tunneling and that's a lot. Need to priority feature parity.

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.

Latency display
When you click on a country, the list of servers for that country appears. The only thing missing is the latency you are getting from that server. For example, I click Estonia, I see all the Estonian servers. Right next to each Estonian server, there would be a number telling you what ping you're getting, like 150ms. I think this feature would be a useful one to add because choosing a faster connection would be easier if you could see the latency. Also, with this ping, for the box that shows your internet speed over a time period of 60…

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.

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.

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.

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?

Partner with another VPN for fully-independent exit hop.
Partner with another credible VPN to create a fully-independent exit hop. This keeps users activity private even from Proton.
Obscura VPN (https://obscura.net/#faq-technical) has already partnered with Mullvad to offer the same thing. If privacy is the goal then this is a no brainer.

Proton vpn linux app stealth protocol
We're not asking you to do anything difficult; we simply want to connect to your Linux VPN application using the stealth protocol. The stealth protocol has been available on all platforms for years, but you haven't added it to your Linux application. Now, achieve this.

Allow Local DNS entries for Custom DNS
The ability to add a local IP address (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) for Custom DNS.
Like many others, I run Pi-hole at home for DNS blocking and local DNS records. With the current version 4.2.1 on Windows, if you add a local IP address to Custom DNS, DNS resolution will fail. I only need a VPN for a handful of programs, and I would like the rest of the computer to be as untouched as possible (no whole-device DNS changes & more).

ProtonVPN Pass-through and LAN Access
The OpenVPN app allows users to select specific apps that don't get tunneled as well as having an option to "Bypass VPN for local networks." I have several peer to peer apps that use the local network to connect to my computer.
