  1. Make systemd dependency optional

    ProtonVPN NetworkManager Library has a hard dependency on systemd-python [https://github.com/ProtonVPN/protonvpn-nm-lib/issues/18].

    I'm upgrading ProtonVPN-CLI and packaging ProtonVPN-GUI in GNU Guix [https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59246], which doesn't have/use systemd.

    Could you please make the systemd optional or make seatd [https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd] an alternative option?

  2. Rotate VPN country on a schedule

    I would like to have the option to have my VPN change the country on a set schedule. For example, every 10 minutes I would like to change countries automatically.

  3. VPN default profile

    VPN default profile. I use VPN for work and created a dedicate profile for it. Unfortunately there is no way for me to select the default profile, so whenever it conennects it takes the first fastest server making me change to the profile. I would like to have the possibility to change the default profile.

  4. implement Rosenpass over wireguard and stealth protocols

    https://rosenpass.eu/
    https://rosenpass.eu/about/

    From the site:

    "In recent years, “Quantum Computers” have become visible on the horizon as we look towards the future ‒ computers so powerful they could break any current cryptographic standard. Standards that ensure the safety of our online banking or the authenticity of a website pretending to be the BBC, the Reuters news bureau or your favorite low-cost airline.

    Rosenpass is an important precaution against what is to come: a safeguard. It is a computer programme installed and run in parallel to WireGuard, making it immune to attacks from Quantum Computers. Rosenpass doesn’t change the way WireGuard…

  5. Geofence auto-connect

    Being able to set the VPN to autoconnect when it goes to mobile data, certain wifi networks, or all except for certain wifi networks would be super helpful. For example, whenever I am not on my home Wi-Fi it would auto connect, no matter if it is mobile data or a public hotspot, etc.

  6. 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.

  7. Android improvements (country names, profiles, metrics, random connections)

    A posted this on reddit, but I figured I'd put it here as well.

    I've been a longtime user of ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and am incredibly grateful of everything they've done to make privacy accessible to more people. I also really love the new ProtonMail app. But ProtonVPN has problems.
    To some it up, it seems like functionality has been sacrificed for vague aesthetics.
    Specifics:
    1. The name of the country you are connected to is in tiny text down near the bottom of the screen. This is even worse if you are connected to the "fastest country". Instead most…

  9. Disconnect VPN for timed period

    My default is to leave ProtonVPN connected. If I disconnect it, its usually for a specific task, like trying to resolve zoom glitches, accessing a site that isn't available with the VPN on, or trying to speed up a large file download. 99% of the time I do not remember to turn ProtonVPN back on after the task is complete, and I discover its off 1/2 - 1 week later. I would love the ability to turn off ProtonVPN for a set time period: 1/6/12/24 hours etc and then have it resume the fastest connection possible.

  10. Folder selection for Split Tunneling

    Easily exclude all sub-executables of a service by selecting a whole folder instead of having to manually select every file by hand.

    As an example, Steam needs much more than just the main executable and the game's executable to work properly with Split Tunneling.

  12. Support connecting over http/socks5/Tor bridges

    Although ProtonVPN may not directly provide bridges, it would be convenient for users living in places with strong internet censorship to have ProtonVPN over their censorship circumvention proxies, which might not be secure. Routing traffic through those insecure proxies to ProtonVPN will provide their accessibility to the outside internet securely.

    Usually, Shadowsocks/V2Ray/Clash, the famous censorship circumvention tools, provide http/socks5 proxies locally. ProtonVPN could connect to the Internet over them.

  14. Add whitelist to Kill Switch

    Allow selecting specific networks (LAN or WiFi) to be excluded from the "permanent kill switch" feature on Windows.
    This would allow me to connect to my LAN without VPN while at home. But whenever I take my notebook somewhere else, it will be offline until a VPN connection is established.

  16. 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

  19. ProtonVPN: better support for arm linux (Raspberry Pi, PinePhone, etc)

    ProtonVPN gui and cli can be installed on various operating systems running on different arm devices. It seems that Debian-based OSes like Raspberry Pi OS and Mobian cannot properly use either tool. The connection fails and ultimately you are unable to access the internet. In order to correct this you need to run:

    sudo nmcli connection delete pvpn-ipv6leak-protection

    as suggested here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319033/internet-stops-working-after-installing-protonvpn.

    It would be nice to see more devices/oses supported. Until then when the connection fails at least it should clear any connection leftovers automatically.
