1. 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 proceed as usual.

   Such a feature would significantly improve the usability of Proton VPN in restricted regions and make the login process more reliable for affected users.

   Thank you for considering this suggestion, and for your continuous efforts to make the internet more private and accessible.

   Best regards,

2. Add PIN lock for iOS app

   Drive, Mail, and Pass for iOS already have the ability to be locked by a PIN. Add this to the VPN app.

3. 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!

4. Allow Kill Switch to block Internet when VPN failed to connect on startup.

   The kill switch allows you to connect to the internet if Proton VPN failed to connect (during start-up) or if you manually disconnected.

   It would be more secure if it only allowed connections through a VPN.

   I personally connected to multiple public hotspots without noticing that my VPN was actually off.

5. Block malware & trackers (not ads)

   To support websites that’s dependent on advertising, I’d like to block trackers whilst refusing tracking.

   Writing this I realize it might be the case that it’s not possible to separate ads and tracking since they’re delivered by the same domains. In that case please close this suggestion.

6. The Proton VPN app should keep statistics of successful connections

   … and when choosing a random server to connect to, it should first try to connect to those servers that are most likely to connect based on the statistics of previous connections. In the conditions of total Internet censorship, I feel sorry for the time that the app spends over and over again checking the availability of those servers that are guaranteed to be blocked by the Internet provider using DPI equipment, which Proton's "smart" traffic masking mechanism cannot handle.

7. 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.

8. 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.

11. Show server load before selecting secure core for each country feature, new version had removed this feature

    The new version 4.1.13 did not display the server load before selecting. It is slow and troublesome to connect and found that the country server load is high and I have to switch to another country one by one to find out low server load country and this method is very inefficient and resulting proton and users unnecessary servers connecting and disconnecting. Hopefully this pre-display server load feature before secure core connection can be reinstated back into the new version.

12. Use RPKI to protect Proton VPN customers from BGP hijacking

    In 2020, Proton was the victim of BGP hijacking. In a blog post about the incident, Proton said it was securing its own BGP route announcements using RPKI. However, Proton VPN's ISP (M247, AS9009) does not use RPKI to verify other sites' announcements. This can be seen by going to the Is BGP Safe Yet website Proton linked to in its own blog post. Proton should use RPKI to verify the routes to sites its customers visit so the customers are protected from BGP hijacking of the sites they visit.

13. Proton VPN: Add regional DNS resolvers to reduce latency outside Europe

    Many Proton VPN users outside of Europe (e.g. in Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia, and South America) experience slow DNS resolution when using Proton DNS via VPN — especially on mobile apps like Proton Mail, which rely on many secure subdomains.

    Currently, Proton DNS resolvers appear to be hosted in Switzerland (or nearby), which introduces noticeable latency for users on the other side of the globe — even when connected to local VPN servers like Melbourne or Sydney.

    Suggestion: Deploy regional Proton DNS resolvers or mirrors in long-latency zones like:

    Australia (Melbourne, Sydney)
    
    South America (e.g. São Paulo)
    
    SE Asia (e.g. Singapore)
    
    North America West Coast
    

    These resolvers could be:

    Accessible only from Proton VPN IP ranges (to maintain privacy)
    
    Operated under Proton’s strict no-logs policy
    
    Geo-routed from VPN exit nodes to minimize DNS latency
    

    This would significantly improve real-world performance for Proton VPN users, particularly for those accessing services like Proton Mail, where even 150–200ms of DNS delay adds up.

    Thanks for considering this — the service is fantastic, and this would make it even better globally.

14. Add proxy on to change country to certain location in the world

    I run a company in another country, and the VPN alone isn't sufficient. If you could set up a proxy to make the devices appear as if they're in a different location, it would greatly help, especially for any government-related work on our website that requires specific location settings and options to be enabled.

17. Split-Tunneling

    Someone please explain why ProtonVPN cannot have the Kill-Switch and Split-Tunneling both activated at the same time. There are lots of times I have to disconnect ProtonVPN to access some Internet sites. Not having a Kill-Switch and disconnecting the VPN defeats the purpose of a VPN; a Kill-Switch is a must. Other VPN allow both the Kill-Switch and Split-Tunneling to be activated at the same time; why can't ProtonVPN do the same. Hopefully a Proton Team Member will explain.

18. Ability to Blacklist VPN Servers

    The auto-connect profiles often connect me to servers that are nearly unusable (super low speed, high latency, inconsistent and poor quality of connection), so I often end up having to manually reconnect to a different server.

    I would like the ability to blacklist/block certain VPN servers and regions, so that the client does not include it in the auto-connection algorithm.

20. Never Auto Connect to a VPN in My Location

    Inside Kill Switch, I want a check for never auto connect to a vpn in my country.
    Sometimes I connect to country X, but I have connectivity issues which causes VPN to disconnect, then it retries to connect again multiple times.
    When connection is back online, it connects to a VPN in my country, which is exactly what I'm avoiding.
