Add ability to exclude country's servers for quick connect
When I use the Quick Connect feature it always connects to servers in my country (Russia), but in my case, it is useless because I use a VPN to access servers that are blocked in my country. And because of this, the Quick Connect feature becomes totally useless. Could you add an option in preference to exclude servers that are located in the configured countries from quick connect servers?

+1 for adding the ability to add exclusion criteria (country, state, server, etc.) to quick connect / custom profiles. Being forced to routinely connect to a server that causes issues is incredibly frustrating.

Blacklist of locations when using quick connect. I live in Texas and it keeps trying to quick connect me to servers within Texas, which defeats the entire purpose of using a vpn since I need to appear like I'm not in Texas. Otherwise I need to scroll down a massive list of servers from across the world until I find an optimal one within the USA. Which servers are optimal changes so I can't just save one that I've used before since it could be suboptimal/over used the next time I try and connect.
A blacklist of locations would allow me to use quick connect and not have the issue of it finding servers within my actual location/state/country.

After having been banned for the third time on a platform due to accidentality connecting with a Russian ProtonVPN server this gets very frustrating.

This is very important as some web services completely ban your account if you once connected using a Russian IP. Allow some kind of exclusion / blocklist for specific countries is very welcome.

It is very important feature. Please, implement it!
I'll explain my case.
For example, I live in Russia. I need VPN to connect to other countries, becouse of politics of this country. When I push "the fastest connection" I will be connected to Russian server. But I dont need Russian server! I need THE FASTEST server that is out of Russia.
Becouse of this problem - this button have no usage for me. I need to connect mannualy to different servers to find the fastest one.
Thanks

This feature would be helpful not only for Quick Connect but for any Profile configured (Random, Fastest, custom user profiles etc.). I mean the list of countries could be the same for all profiles, and should be used when a user Connects to a certain profile.
Also it should be mentioned that we are talking about exit servers, since in Secure Core mode there are actually two countries involved.
