  1. 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).

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. ⭐ Connect on Boot

    Hello,

    I propose adding a "Connect on Boot" feature to the Proton VPN Desktop App. Before diving into the details, let me briefly explain what "Connect on Boot" entails.

    🔺 What is "Connect on Boot"? 🔺
    ■ Connect on Boot allows the Proton VPN Desktop App to load and establish a connection before the user logs into the system at the Computer Login Screen.

    ■ This differs from Connect on Login, which only initiates the connection after the user has logged in and the Proton VPN Desktop App has loaded into the program startup queue.

    ■ Connect on Boot is…

  7. Use Hardware / Security Key as 2FA

    Allow Hardware Security Keys (FIDO2 like YubiKey) as a backup 2FA for ProtonVPN (like all the other Proton Services). Currently Proton VPN only supports TOTP authenticators for 2FA which is inconvenient especially when all the other Proton services work fine with security keys.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  12. Device status indicator (how many out of 10 are in use)

    Its annoying that their is no overview of how many devices your using out of the 10 allowed.
    Also, it would be nice to be able to name your devices if this feature is added.

  13. Improved server search and profile creation.

    Provide the ability to search for servers and create profiles using filters based not only on country but things like city, state, type of server (e.g., basic, P2P), load, latency, etc.

    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.

  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…

  18. Make an official package for arch linux instead of the AUR package

    Why is there not an official arch linux package at this point? I think it would be awesome to just enter "sudo pacman -S protonvpn" in order to install it.

    It's not like arch linux is an lesser known operating system.

  19. ProtonVPN: wider availability of split tunneling

    Surprisingly, ProtonVPN has been probably my favorite Proton Technologies product since joining the service, initially for email. Split tunneling is great because some websites don't like it when you try to access them with a VPN. I wish it was available on other platforms besides PC, though. Mac and iOS at the very least would be very helpful for me.

  20. Split tunneling for macOS

    For Mac, split tunnelling is available from the browser's plugins. We should be able to do the same from proton VPN app itself. The best if this can be configured as a template so you can link it to any existing connection or profile
