1. Australian servers

   Could you please add more servers in Melbourne, Australia? We are the second largest city in the country and have the fewest servers by far. Thank you!

2. 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.

4. Add DoH and DNS-over-QUIC Support for Custom DNS on iOS

   I'm excited to see that ProtonVPN iOS now supports custom DNS functionality.
   However, I noticed that it currently only supports plaintext UDP DNS queries.
   As a privacy-conscious user who chose Proton specifically for its commitment to privacy, I would like to request support for encrypted DNS protocols, specifically DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-QUIC.

   Privacy Concerns with Plaintext UDP DNS:
   Even when using a VPN, plaintext UDP DNS poses several privacy risks:
   1. DNS Query Visibility: While the VPN encrypts the connection between my device and the VPN server, DNS queries from the VPN server to the DNS resolver remain unencrypted and can be monitored by the VPN server's ISP, network intermediaries between the VPN server and DNS resolver, and the DNS resolver itself if not trustworthy.

   
   2. DNS Hijacking and Manipulation: Plaintext DNS is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks where malicious actors can intercept and modify DNS responses, potentially redirecting users to malicious websites.

   3. Metadata Leakage: Even with VPN protection, plaintext DNS queries reveal browsing patterns and website visits to anyone monitoring the DNS traffic, undermining the privacy protection that VPN users expect.

   
   4. ISP DNS Cache Poisoning: Unencrypted DNS queries are susceptible to cache poisoning attacks, where false DNS records can be injected into DNS caches.

   Why This Matters for Proton:

   As a company that positions itself as "Privacy by Default," supporting only plaintext DNS seems inconsistent with Proton's core values.
   Your users choose ProtonVPN specifically because they trust you to provide the highest level of privacy protection.
   Encrypted DNS protocols like DoH and DNS-over-QUIC would ensure end-to-end encryption of DNS queries, prevent DNS-based tracking and profiling, protect against DNS manipulation and censorship, and align with Proton's mission of making privacy accessible to everyone.

   Feature Request:
   Please consider adding support for DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) - RFC 8484 and DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) - RFC 9250.

   This would allow users to configure custom encrypted DNS resolvers, ensuring that their DNS queries remain private even beyond the VPN tunnel.

5. I2P

   I’d like to propose adding native support for the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) to enhance Proton VPN’s offerings.

   I2P is a decentralized, anonymizing network that enables secure, private communication, complementing Proton’s existing Tor support. Integrating I2P could:

   Appeal to privacy-focused users who use I2P for secure browsing, messaging, or file sharing.
   Position Proton VPN as a leader in supporting multiple anonymity networks.
   Simplify setup for users, as manual I2P configuration with VPNs can be complex.
   Suggested features could include dedicated I2P servers, one-click connectivity (similar to your Tor integration), or optimized settings for I2P traffic (e.g., port forwarding or split tunneling). This would make Proton VPN more versatile and accessible for advanced privacy needs.

6. Browser extensions remember recent servers / cities

   It would be nice if the browser extensions remembered a few of your most recently used servers / cities and made those available as buttons that are shown when you click to open the extension. For example, Nord VPN's app has this feature directly below the blue "quick connect" button.

7. Add Proxy capabilities to VPN servers

   Proton, could you add proxy servers or modify/add your current servers to expose a proxy feature?
   I will try to explain what i am trying to do:
   I want to have my OpenWRT router connected to one of your secure core servers. After that i would like to be able on my laptop:

   1. See US content: okay, exit to a US proxy
   2. See japanese content: okay, exit to a JP proxy Etc...

   This is very flexible and i just need to encrypt the traffic 1x time (to your secure core server) because afaik proxy traffic is mirrored, isn it?

   I would love that, being secure, fast and flexible!

   If this approach is currently doable, could you advice me on how to do it? Please, VPN connection on my router is mandatory.

8. Kill Switch option in Profiles

   Hi ProtonVPN team,

   I’d love to see an option added to the profile creation process that lets users set up Kill Switch preferences right from the start. Specifically, it would be great to choose whether the Kill Switch is enabled or disabled for that profile, and also select between the standard and advanced modes.

   This would give users more control over how each profile behaves based on their needs. For example, someone might want a profile with the advanced Kill Switch enabled for maximum protection, and another with it off for more flexibility.

   Thanks for your time and for continuously improving ProtonVPN!

11. Reconnect option for active profile.

    Please add an option to reconnect the active profile. Right now, if I'm using the Fastest Country profile, and I see that my server load is high, I have to disconnect and then connect again, leaving my network open for a second.

    I assume that a proper reconnect button would avoid any lapse in VPN coverage.

13. Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware on GrapheneOS

    On GrapheneOS, the updater runs before first unlock (BFU) to grab security patches, but Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware. Enabling it brings up the VPN UI BFU, yet no network ever connects, so updates fail until you unlock the device.

    Repro:

    Install Proton VPN on GrapheneOS (e.g. Pixel 6 Pro 2025.05.15)

    Turn on kill-switch

    Reboot and stay at lock screen

    Watch the BFU updater time out for lack of network

    Impact:
    Devices miss critical patches until next unlock, extending exposure to exploits.

    Fix:
    • Mark the VPN service as android:directBootAware="true" in AndroidManifest.xml
    • Move its config/certs into Device-Protected Storage for BFU access

16. Add the percentage [of serve use], to log to the least busy server, in the profile column, at left.

    It would be useful to add the percentage [of serve use], to log to the least busy server, in the profile column, at left. You could eliminate the country name, and the city, as it is abbreviated.
    So one can see at a glance the least busy server. and log on to it.

17. Allow some choice of where to connect .

    Like I'm sure many others I feel I already have enough security with Protonmail. I need (want) a UK based VPN for about 3-4 months of the year when I am out of the country. (I've found the BBC disables attributes on their news website depending on the ISP address and this is annoying.) I use one or two email addresses at most and am already paying for Mail+ for a load of features I largely don't need. Now you want more money for access to a load more VPN features I don't need or want. Seems a bit unfair

18. Extend LAN network through VPN

    Add a feature that allows a desktop (or a home server) to be used as an endpoint for VPN connection, allowing the user to use the internet like they are in its local network. Useful to connect to LAN devices safely without exposing them to the Web and for limited services like Netflix that blocks users from other places to connect to the same account.

20. Provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" connections

    First, regarding the WINDOWS client, thanks for the option to "pin" recently used locations/servers (connections). Much appreciated!

    REQUEST: To improve the "pin" function on the WINDOWS client (and potentially other clients), please provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" locations/servers (connections).

    Currently, on the WINDOWS client, you offer options to "unpin" and "remove" pinned connections.

    In addition to "unpin" and "remove" options, I'd like to have an option to "move" where each pinned connection appears within the list of "pinned" connections. For example, upon selecting the proposed "move" option on the WINDOWS client, I hope to be presented with at least one or more (preferably all) of the following options for moving a pinned connection:

    (a) "move up one" position in the list,
    (b) "move down one" position in the list,
    (c) "move to top" of the list, and
    (d) "move to bottom" of list list.

    Or as a more "ideal" solution, upon selecting the proposed "move" option, I'd like to be asked to type a number corresponding to the position (in the list of pinned connections) where I want the particular connection to appear, i.e., moved to position 1, 2, 3, etc. But I imagine that such an "ideal" solution may be difficult to implement. And if so, please at least implement something similar to the above suggested (move up, down, top, bottom) solution.

    Related to the above request, please also consider providing an option to manually sort "profiles" as described in the following suggestion: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/49712741
