Allow adding multiple users to an VPN account
Please make an option to add other users on the same network for the VPN service.
My family wants to use VPN at home but I don't want give each person my username and password to log into the ProtonVPN software. I'd rather have a simple family option where you can assign permission to an extra person or two to the same account, at least per network.
Hell, I'd even pay a teensy bit extra too for that feature as I think it's a perfectly reasonable request.

Have a look at: https://account.proton.me/u/0/vpn/OpenVpnIKEv2 and https://account.proton.me/u/0/vpn/WireGuard
You can share or export these creds and use them on other devices -

I bought premium and share with family but I don't want them to see my calendar which I use or my emails which I could use. I've been using the calendar on a free account, but it would be nice to have premium and I don't want to pay twice. ProtonVPN and other vpns allow multiple connections at once and often encourage sharing, but it's hard to share protonvpn if you have to share your emails too.
Ideas for how to implement:
- You could make it so that you can invite a friend account to proton premium from a premium account, or "add them to your family"
- You could add the option to have a separate password for different proton services, so one could share only the password for the vpn service -

Isn't this functionality available now with their 'family plan'? You get six accounts, each has their own VPN access (and email/drive/pass etc).
