  3. Censorship resistance

    Mullvad VPN uses Wireguard obfuscation (UDP2TCP). IVPN on iOS uses V2RAY. Those protocols allows to reliably bypass censorship. Proton on the other hand only has Stealth, which is unreliable and often disconnects.

    Request : Add a censorship-resitant technology such as V2RAY or UPD-over-TCP.

  4. Allow Killswitch to be enabled with Split Tunnel

    Currently, the app will not allow you to use the Split Tunnel feature if you have the Killswitch enabled. Having migrated from Private Internet Access, I was used to having this possibility with their client and would love to see this in Proton VPN as well.

    Having some exceptions configured to bypass the VPN should not completely block the killswitch feature and open the risk of IP leaks.

    I would be okay with the VPN app completely killing my bypassed connections as well, it wouldn't even have to be gracefully respecting those. That would just be a nice-to-have.

  6. Low carbon switch

    Similar to the Secure Core switch, a Low carbon switch that would allow to filter VPN servers to restrict the selection to countries where power generation is less carbon-intensive. The list of countries could be either derived of yearly averaged, or refreshed real-time based on e.g. electricitymap data.

  7. 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. Android Widget

    A widget for Proton VPN on Android would be nice. The ability to turn on/off the last connection profile would be the main purpose of the widget. So if you selected Fastest, it would search for the fastest server again. But if you selected a country it would only pick from that country again. And if you picked a specific server, it would try to use that server again. Same idea for Secure Core, P2P, and Tor.

  10. Split tunneling, reverse implementation on Android

    I'd like a reverse implementation of Split tunnelling on Android. If I only want to use VPN for 3-4 apps, I have to manually exclude the remaining 350 apps.

    There should be an option to "only include these apps".

  12. 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.

  14. 1st party DNS server and IPv6 support for ProtonVPN

    If the detailed vpn comparison chart of thatoneprivacysite.net is right (see https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/), you might provide 1st party DNS server and IPv6 support.

  15. 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.

  16. Please re-build ProtonVPN Linux GUI app with Qt Framework

    Hi! I like the ProtonVPN GUI app on Linux. It has so many good features.

    But I think that the choice of GTK was a mistake. This framework is just one large piece of garbage - from both points of view - devs and user experience.

    1. Most serious, quality and useful apps for Linux (about 90%) are uses Qt Framework.

    2. GTK is unpopular. Every year more and more existing Linux software are rewritten with Qt Framework. It's stable and gives better look'n'feel experience.

    3. GTK development is chaotic. The developers themselves don't know what they want. It looks like that GTK…

  17. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. Separate password for VPN

    Please make it possible a separate password for VPN. Other family members are using VPN, don't wanna share the password used for mail/drive/calendar. I know the 2FA can make some difference, but still deeply dislike it. I have installed Wireguard apps, and used different config files, but it is very limited to one server/or one set of settings.
