  1. Add random connection button to Chrome extension

    Would it be possible to add a random connection function and button to Chrome's extensions, like the Windows apps have? Thanks.

    Because I need to keep changing IPs, and I don't want to use the same IPs again within a day.

  3. Show city in UI (top right)

    I've noticed (top right of UI) that ProtonVPN displays location-based information i.e. the country, server, and IP address only, it currently does not include the current city. Adding this piece of information could significantly improve the functionality.

  4. VPN on/off widget for iOS 17

    It would be great if we could have a regular widget with on/off and pause option. It would be very practical compared to having to open the app every time you want to perform any of those actions.

  5. Show current connected profile label in the GUI

    When connected to a profile, the Windows GUI shows:

    Country >> Server
    IP Load
    Protocol Speeds

    It would be nice to see current profile name there as well. And also the profile may be highlighted in the list to indicate that it is currently connected. Without this feature it is hard to tell at a glance which profile is being used at the moment. So the user either has to memorize all the servers, or always reconnect to the needed profile to ensure it is being used.

  6. Additional Options for ProtonVPN Profiles

    In ProtonVPN Profiles, I would like options for Kill Switch and Netshield, so those settings can be set independently for my various profiles.

  7. More comprehensive blocking abilities

    Blocking of ads and trackers is an important part of maintaining user privacy and the ability to browse the internet without being constantly surveilled or provided with skewed content based on the decisions of algorithms.

    NetShield is cool, but it would be great to have a more comprehensive blocking capability in Proton VPN similar to the likes of AdGuard. Currently, it is clunky to use AdGuardd or DuckDuckGo tracking protection together with VPN because most platforms allow only one VPN connection at a time and a "fake" VPN is necessary for the blocking services to work.

    Important features for this…

  9. Request for an App Exclusion Feature for Mobile VPN Access

    Subject: Request for an App Exclusion Feature for Mobile VPN Access

    Dear ProtonVPN Customer Service Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. My name is Charles Bondzie, a loyal and satisfied user of your ProtonVPN service, particularly on my mobile device. I want to express my gratitude for the robust security, privacy, and flexibility your service consistently offers.

    Despite the overall exceptional user experience, I find myself in need of a feature that currently seems to be absent in the mobile version of ProtonVPN. I am particularly interested in an "App Exclusion" or "Split Tunneling" feature that allows users…

  10. UPnP Port forwarding support

    Support port forwarding using UPnP so that applications can transparently and directly request port forwardings without needing manual configuration.

    Also please add UPnP support, so that applications can query their public IP address.

  11. Monochromatic Sytstem Tray Icon - (Windows)

    I've been using Mullvad VPN and love the option to use a Monochromatic System Tray Icon. It makes the VPN appear as a native feature built into the OS instead of a clunky third-party application. With a Monochromatic System Tray Icon, users would psychologically think of Proton VPN as a natural part of their workflow.

  12. Add Sub-Region Options for Profiles

    "Fastest" keeps giving me servers that are thousands of kilometres away and definitely not the fastest.

    You already have sub-regions in the server names; I should be able to pick them for profiles.

    (It would be nice to have them on the map, too, like NordVPN does, but that's not critical. It'd probably be nice for your marketing pictures too, as you'd have more triangles for people to see.)

  14. Android: Smart View (Screen/Mirror Cast)

    The Samsung feature called "Smart View" which allows screen casting/screen mirroring your phone to the TV does not work if Proton VPN is enabled despite having the "Smart View" app in the excluded apps list in Proton VPN and despite allowing LAN connections is enabled as well.

    Please fix this issue as this feature can and has been done with other VPN providers.

    Proto referral program! When someone comes from a referral link and creates an account, takes a paid VPN subscription, the user of the referral link gets a Paid VPN subscription at the time of their choice.

  16. Bring interactive map back to Android app

    I like the new app design on Android, but the map section has just become useless, you can't use it to search for servers, it is just there for this (good looking) fancy animation when you connect to a server from the list.
    I would like to be able to see map markers (one per city) on the map and connect to them via press. For this you obviously should also be able again to traverse the map and zoom in/out.

  17. Albanian servers

    Add servers from Albania.
    Google adds are not available in Albania so when connected to Albanian servers you won't see add on YouTube or other Google services.
    I know many will thank me for this

  18. We need a desktop visible indication showing VPN connected or not.

    There's to many occations where the VPN connection has not been established without my knowledge. Please give an easy visble indication on VPN connection status. Perhaps directly on the desktop.

  19. Add ability to sellect a specific VPN server in the Android TV application in the same way as it is possible for PC or smartphones

    The experience of working with some online cinemas on a PC and smartphone has shown, they selectively refer to the IP address received from protonVPN, even if these addresses are within the same country.  For some IPs all content is provided, for others only some of it, for others nothing at all.  On a PC or smartphone, the problem can be solved by explicitly choosing a different VPN server in the same country.  On Android TV, there is no independent choice and this often leads to the inability to watch the content of interest.
