[Feature Request] Connect on Boot
Hello, I would like to suggest adding a <Connect on Boot> function to ProtonVPN Desktop App.
But first, let me give a drill-down on what is Connect on Boot.
🔺What is Connect on Boot?🔺
A. This allows the VPN app to load and connect before the user successfully login on the Computer Login Screen.
B. This is completely different from Connect on Login which requires the user successfully logged in to the computer and for the VPN app to successfully load on the program startup queue before it starts connecting.
C. Connect on Boot is the perfect companion for users who have Killswitch turned on
🔺Benefits of Connect on Boot?🔺
A. User who is using the ProtonVPN App doesn't have to wait it to load and connect after successfully logged in to the computer, thus they're able to browse immediately on VPN-connected state.
B. User doesn't have to use a Startup Optimizer program to forcefully re-arrange the program startup queue by delaying other startup programs to give way to the ProtonVPN Desktop app to ensure it loads first.
C. User can fully enjoy using the Killswitch feature on without the sacrifice of waiting time for the ProtonVPN Desktop app to connect to be able to start browsing the internet.
🔺Which VPN or VPN program currently has <Connect on Boot> feature on?🔺
1. WireGuard Official app
2. Mullvad Desktop App
3. VyprVPN Desktop App
For your kind consideration.

On windows I have the same problem but I see this and run better than option on vpn desktop app
----------------------
Acabo de encontrar la solución al arranque lento de la vpn en windows, lo acabo de probar y se arranca al momento de iniciar.
La solución es crear una clave en el registro de windows (Regedit)
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1gc6yxc/optimizing_proton_vpn_startup/?tl=es-es&rdt=38541Así se inicia a la velocidad de la luz frente a la opción que hay en la app que tarda mucho tiempo. Deberían implementar esta solución desde Proton de hecho porque en Linux inicia muy bien 👏👏

This must include a release for all platforms, including Linux.

That would indeed be really cool. I would really not be surprised if some services started by Microsoft log into the internet before the VPN can even start.

Hello,
I propose adding a "Connect on Boot" feature to the Proton VPN Desktop App. Before diving into the details, let me briefly explain what "Connect on Boot" entails.
🔺 What is "Connect on Boot"? 🔺
■ Connect on Boot allows the Proton VPN Desktop App to load and establish a connection before the user logs into the system at the Computer Login Screen.■ This differs from Connect on Login, which only initiates the connection after the user has logged in and the Proton VPN Desktop App has loaded into the program startup queue.
■ Connect on Boot is particularly beneficial for users with the Kill Switch feature enabled, as it ensures uninterrupted protection from when the computer starts.
🔺 Benefits of "Connect on Boot" 🔺
■ Faster Connection: After logging in, users won't need to wait for the Proton VPN Desktop App to load. They can immediately begin browsing in a secure, VPN-connected state.■ No Need for Startup Optimization: Users won’t rely on third-party optimizers to rearrange the startup sequence and prioritize Proton VPN Desktop App.
■ Enhanced Kill Switch Utility: The Kill Switch feature can function seamlessly without delays caused by waiting for the Proton VPN Desktop App to connect after login.
🔺 VPNs Offering "Connect on Boot" 🔺
■ WireGuard Official App
■ Mullvad Desktop App
■ VyprVPN Desktop App -
