Profiles: Allow selecting multiple servers
It would be nice to change profiles to add a checkbox beside the servers in the list so we can select multiple servers to put in the profile and leave out others.
Ex. I would like only Toronto Ontario servers nothing else in one profile.
Thanks

Agreed on this for iOS also. I would like to create a profile that is for my local area. When I search my state, there are 29 servers available. Yes I can create 29 profiles and switch between them manually, but it would be great to have an option to have a profile for example with these 29 servers in it, and with the profile as default, it will connect to any random one of them, whether it is by "best" detection, or some other random function. It can help by having at least some IP hopping to enhance privacy and help maintain better connections if some servers have better connections than others at the time.

Also hopping on this to say this would be a great feature. I live in Colorado, but the default quick connect button always connects me to servers out in California which results in noticeable latency issues. It would be great to create a profile containing just servers in Denver for example, without having to pick just one single server and hope it isn't already overloaded. Ideally, selecting that profile would also pick the fastest / most stable server within the list of available servers.

Reason: i'm noticing recently that my connections are selecting servers a long ways away, would like to reduce exposure.
This request is similar to other requests as i read it -if we could setup a profile to connect to multiple servers; possibly provide a checkbox to add servers; show a count of selected; provide a "Clear Selections" option;
Alternatively/Additionally - if Regular Expressions could be used to filter for all servers in one region;
Would need to edit the list/Regular Expression, validate regular expression with a count of matches and the list of matches. -

This is critically important, especially since in some cities/areas all the proton servers are run by the same host and have the same IP problems. To really make this functional, the app needs its options reconfigured a bit.
When you make a custom profile, it should start with the "Random" or "Fastest" option along with a "Single Server" as a third option. Then it should offer two options for Random and Fastest: choose countries or choose specific servers. It should also include a checkbox to "exclude free servers" for paid users.
Depending on your selection, you then either get the country list and choose one or more whole countries or you get the global list of servers (with or without the free ones depending on your selection) and choose one or more specific servers.
This would actually meet the needs of a lot of other requests listed on uservoice for protonvpn. Not only could those of us who want to restrict to a specific city or region of a larger country have a way to do that without always using the same server (which reduces privacy), but people who want to exclude countries would have a pretty good way to do so. I think there are at least three entries here in uservoice that this would solve.

Adding on to this idea, it would be nice to be able to blacklist certain servers/regions from a profile. That way I could still get the benefits of picking the fastest server, but still reliably avoid certain regions that have web traffic restrictions.
