  1. Dedicated IP Address tied to Secure Core

    I would really love to have the ability to purchase a dedicated IP Address within ProtonVPN. This would eliminate blocking by some financial institutions and steaming services who block known multi-user ip addresses.

    If the possibility exist to link the dedicated ip address (in the United States) to the secure core function would be outstanding.

    A reasonable monthly charge (in addition to the regular monthly subscription fee) would be well worth the additional feature.

  2. Reconnect to next best server

    Occasionally I have a slow connection to the "optimal" server or the quality of the connection changes overtime. I would love a single click button to connect to the next best server and not automatically reconnect to the one I was just connected to like it does when I manually cycle it.

  3. Detect DNS leak and warn ProtonVPN users

    An encrypted DNS (Called DoH - DNS over https) is said by you (in the later linked article) to "prevents our software from being able to see the DNS queries. This makes it very hard to block or reroute them."
    causing DNS leak, which can be considered a serious privacy compromise IMO.

    It seems to be too severe not to warn user about it in case it is doable from the side of your application. I guess your app tries to read the DNS request and if is encrypted, it fails and can do some action, like displaying…

  4. Add ability to exclude country's servers for quick connect

    When I use the Quick Connect feature it always connects to servers in my country (Russia), but in my case, it is useless because I use a VPN to access servers that are blocked in my country. And because of this, the Quick Connect feature becomes totally useless. Could you add an option in preference to exclude servers that are located in the configured countries from quick connect servers?

  6. Better Linux integration and support

    The app really needs better integration and support on different flavors of Linux. Now, since WireGuard is part of the kernel, it can be heavily utilized.

  9. VPN on/off widget for iOS 17

    It would be great if we could have a regular widget with on/off and pause option. It would be very practical compared to having to open the app every time you want to perform any of those actions.

  11. All desktop proton apps, including mail, disk, and vpn, should be protected with a passphrase, just like on mobile devices!

    Currently, your computer can be hacked, you know nothing about it, and yet your most precious things are all exposed for the want of this single, simple pin-access feature in all Proton desktop apps!

    Guys, that's the basic security, isn't it? Major secure chat communicators have it - telegram has it, session has it, why Proton doesn't have it?! It's high time to implement it! I would suggest starting from proton mail and proton disk as the most critical-data from the user security standpoint.

  12. RAM Servers

    If Proton VPN run only on RAM (volatile memory) and hard disk-less servers can let nothing is stored locally, which makes Proton VPN more secure and privacy.

  13. Register-free access to VPN (critical for countries like Iran)

    In countries like Iran it is very complicated to use proton vpn for very strange reason : it needs registration, and because proton VPN is blocked you CAN'T register. It is very critical thing for countries that block vpn very hard. Recently proton VPN released Stealth protocol. I think it's good idea to let users connect before registering, allow 50-100MB traffic, it is enough to register.

    Once again, for people in countries with strong censorship it will be life saving. Please do it, Stealth is the only protocol that works in Iran.

  14. Transform Proton VPN to Proton SPN

    I discover that future is SPN and not VPN and I think Proton need to go in this direction. You can discover what is SPN here : https://safing.io/blog/2020/01/22/how-the-spn-compares-to-vpns/

    Please think about it.

  15. Allow ProtonVPN to use existing LAN DNS/Custom DNS

    I run my own secure DNS. I would like for ProtonVPN to offer the ability for the user to elect to use an existing DNS / Custom DNS rather than the Proton DNS server. Private Internet Access, which I no longer use since changing to ProtonVPN, began offering that recently and it works well. There may be a security risk doing that but the user should be able to specify if they still want to do it. I would use my own DNS when on my LAN, and the Proton DNS when on a different network. Thank you.

  17. 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.

  20. split tunneling for domain name

    Current split tunneling allows IP address and application. The IP address is an unreliable way to open a bypass to an external website.

    Please add the ability to split tunnel to a domain name. This would help with various sites that block VPN Server IP addresses.
