Feature request: Add forwarded port API method
Problem: There is no officially support method for a torrent client to obtain the currently active forwarded port from Proton VPN.
Current practices: The only way I've found to determine the port is to scrape the VPN client log. This is not officially supported and thus brittle, not to mention inefficient.
Proposed solution: Add a lightweight REST listener in the client to respond to API requests. Including forwarded port status, so that a local client can determine if the VPN is currently active, if port forwarding is enabled, and what the current port is. A unified cross-platform client API would…

Netshield improvements on all platforms
Netshield works well for the most part but it does not block as many ad networks as I would have anticipated. Some mobile games still show ads when being played while Netshield is enabled. I understand the usability aspect of things need to work, it would be beneficial to offer different levels of blocking so we could adjust the service to or liking or standards. This could be done by offering different levels like standard, advanced, adult, family or custom block lists that are supported through the app.

Add a panel on the site to see active devices in the account
Add a panel on the website to view, manage, and delete active devices and sessions in the account if needed! Thank you!

Split tunneling with hostnames
In the current tech landscape, the same website can be served through thousands of distinct IPs, changing over time depending on specific criteria or even between deployments. It is humanly exhausting, and frankly unfeasible, to require that we have knowledge of IPs or IP ranges to exclude a specific site from VPN usage.
I firmly believe that it is possible to implement the ability to provide access through hostnames (to enable any level of subdomain as well) without the need for a Herculean effort, even if it is necessary to require the user to use a specific DNS service.

Suggestion: Temporary VPN Connection for Login Assistance
Dear Proton VPN Team,
I am a user from mainland China. When trying to log in to the Proton VPN desktop client, the login process often fails due to local network restrictions. This makes it difficult for users in regions with strict internet controls to access the service, even if they already have valid accounts.
I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows the client to temporarily enable a lightweight VPN connection (or use a fallback method) during the login process. This would help users bypass local blocks and successfully authenticate, after which the normal VPN connection could…

Proton VPN firewall, post quantistic and other improvements
- the possibility to link proton profiles to the account, so when I use the vpn on different devices I can find my own profiles
- the possibility to change the server with a dedicated button which will follow the current VPN settings (same type, protocol, country, and so on) just using a different server
- the integration (for mobile Android) of a firewall which can block internet connection for selected apps from user. This would be really really useful to block internet connection to app that doesn't need it (clock, calculator, file manager, and so on). In the market place there are…

Set a Favorite Server as Default
In the next Proton VPN update, I suggest that the user have the option to set a favorite server as default. That way, whenever someone turns on their computer or phone, they are logged in directly to it. For example, I really like the performance and speed of server 101 (Brazil). But having to select it every time is quite inconvenient.

allow port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn
Please consider allowing port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn. I am unable to find any documentation on whether this is currently possible or not. I have an openwrt router using a wireguard vpn. I am happy with it, but it would be better if I could forward a port into my home network to allow plex access from outside the house.
Cheers!

FIDO2 Certification
Get Proton Pass (or yourself?, I'm not sure how that works) FIDO2 certified.
I've hit a rather important login where I need to either switch to Passkeys (from their own 2FA app) or use SMS (WTF 😅). Unfortunately they only accept FIDO2 certified Passkey managers, which Proton Pass apparently is not.

Different servers for different applications
In my country some mobile applications don't work with different countries' IPs. It would be nice to specify for those applications one of two options: run without VPN or run with chosen country/server. Especially it is important for applications that run in the background.

mac app
i expect it will happen eventually, but any plans to update the Mac VPN app to be on par with the excellently recently redesigned windows and iOS apps? It greatly enhances useage and would be nice on mac. I understand if it isn't a priority , though

Secure Core on Map
When Secure Core countries selected in the list -> only show secure core connections on the map as well and connect to them through the map. The old Desktop Version had that.

Import/Export configuration
As time goes by and new profiles, split tunnelings... are being added, if I have to change my mobile/desktop/laptop or I buy a new device, I will have to check everything in order to replicate the configuration in the device, and apply the configuration manually. Or even worse: if one of the devices dies, I will lose the configuration.
Hence, it would be good to have the option to export & import configuration files.6 votes -
Apple TV app improvement
I believe it would be helpful for most Apple TV VPN users if the "Recommended" category were changed to "Favorites," allowing each user to add their favorite countries individually.

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:- See US content: okay, exit to a US proxy
- 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…

iOS Dynamic Island VPN Indicator
On the iPhone Dynamic Island at the top of the screen, it would be useful for proton vpn to utilize this space that Apple allows devs to use for indicators such as showing that the vpn status if connected or not.
Currently you have to swipe down to see if the vpn is active or if you go into the app to check.
Other apps including other vpns use this Dynamic Island as an indicator for a quick glance/stuatus.

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…

easier way to report broken/unavailable site
Currently we are asked to fill out the entire form at https://protonvpn.com/support-form
It would be nice (likely to result in more feedback, which presumably helps techs to ID issues and fix them) if it was simpler and quicker to report a site is broken due to using Proton VPN.6 votes -
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.
