This feature was planned at 8th March 2024 jeje I hope the team is working in this feature

I used the Windows version for a few years before switching to Linux, and I’ve been using the Linux version for a few more years, hoping for improvements. Unfortunately, I just canceled my subscription. The free version worked just as well—if not better—than the paid one. I’d love to support the project, but the pricing just doesn’t seem right.

This is critical for me. I can't run ProtonVPN on Linux with Portmaster a privacy oriented application that includes SPN which routes every outbound connection though a different node, all over the world, creating multiple ips per application. I would prefer any underlying connection be routed through your VPN (which I'm paying for) when I need functionality over privacy (like high speed downloads or access to certain sites) but I can't do this because Safing Portmaster requires the DNS to be unencrypted locally before forcing it to my chosen DNS provider -quad9- over a DoH or TLS connection. This process is critical to it's functionality as it needs to see where the traffic is going before rerouting that traffic via an encrypted node and then passing it along to DNS server of MY choice. ProtonVPN for Linux, however, does not need this and yet it insists on hooking into my DNS and rerouting it without giving me the option to point it elsewhere thus creating a standoff and killing my connection entirely. And out of the two, I'd much rather have the SPN protecting me than a standard VPN.

We're Linux users. Most of us know what we're doing, and know the implications of setting a manual DNS provider. You can always just put it behind advanced settings or developer mode with a link on why changing it is a bad idea. This current version of the ProtonVPN app is missing an important feature to me that for some reason is available on Windows which is (extremely) disappointing.

A lot of Linux users have a privacy mindset out of principle and utilize your services because of this. And yet we can't get basic functions like custom DNS or Proton Drive.

Don't leave the Linux user-base behind, please.

Been on paid plans for years and this year upgraded from Proton Unlmiited to Proton Duo, I wish Andy would realise that Proton became where it is today because of EXISTING paying customers.

In all these years Proton VPN for linux has been utter rubbish, and now after years it has functionally improved (not aesthetically) but it is still sub-par: still no (reverse) split tunneling and stealth mode. Can't wait for feature parity, but especially these featues are critical.

Please ensure that when this is implemented, it includes split tunneling on the Linux client. We really do need static port forwarding too since the feature is useless when the port changes every time you connect.

Today Proton announced the new VPN Stealth mode and wow, once again it's available for every platform except Linux. Linux as an afterthought when Proton ought to be supporting Linux just like the other major platforms. I'm a continually disappointed paying customer in this respect. I may need to stop subscribing.

When they add wireguard (that works with port-forwarding) on Linux I'll switch to ProtonVPN or the whole proton eco-system instantly.

Having been read all the comments in the history. Well, guys, so far you've done a great job! It's about time to finish it. Both CLI and GUI packages for Debian are looking just fine. But please won't you include those technical options that are present in Android, Windows and iOS versions! It would be a really pleasant experience that could attract more 'Unlimited' users which I am.

I think even if Linux users are a minority, they are a minority that intersects a lot with Proton's advocacy for privacy, and a big slice of those who tell their friends and family about privacy-friendly alternatives to mainstream companies. I think Proton should start treating Linux as an OS as important as Windows and MacOS even if the userbase is still very small in comparison.

I have the Unlimited plan, and recently made the switch from Windows to Linux. Everything went perfectly, but when I tried to set up all the Proton features... I found out just how little they care about customers using this OS.

No fully featured VPN support... ON LINUX! The OS that is more about security and privacy than anything else! Unbelievable!

No Drive client. Had to resort to the free account of Dropbox I had.

I'm not American or European with a large income that $12 USD a month is pocket change, it's very expensive for me to be paying for Ultimate when I can't even use the more important features. Honestly, I might have to downgrade or unsubscribe altogether.

The lack of parity and support for distros outside of the .deb/rpm world is what keeps me on a legacy mail plus subscription and not a newer unlimited plan. I have to use other services for VPN that provide full support on the linux platform.

I've been a Proton paying customer for several years. I'm supporting a petition on this very site, in dialogue with the Proton team, to get a real Linux application for their drive, which can synchronize in real time. Currently on Linux, the only access to the drive is via a Web browser! Scandalous!
Once again, I see that the quality of service provided by Proton to supporters of open source and Linux in particular lags far behind that of Mac and Windows users. And yet we're probably the best advocates of privacy, and therefore of Proton.
If this gap in quality and options between Windows or Mac applications and Linux applications doesn't seriously narrow, maybe we'll have to go to Mullvad for VPN, Tutanota for email and Filen or others for the drive!!!!
It would be really disappointing to have to use 3 or 4 different providers when Proton's integrated suite is such a good idea. Except for Linux users!
A disappointed and impatient user!

I would appreciate:
1. Port Forwarding
2. WireGuard
3. Connection Profiles
on the Linux GUI app.

I've notived that the proton mail (app) on linux is not free and requires a proton paod account! For now it comes with a 14day trial.
I wouldnt mind becoming a paid user, if the vpn app gets improved and also incorporated into Ubuntu touch...hint hint
So far I'm quite satisfied with the linux version of proton-vpn on bl-boron install. But i dont have a mac or windows mashine to compare it to.

Mac OS also doesn't have split tunneling, a core feature. There is a lack of parity to go around.

i agree, more support, more options/features better GUI ...

I'am working on Arch and proton mail (bridge) && proton vpn suck on archlinux-based OS.

exemple: 1. no split tunneling by app;
2. normal integration with KDE Plasma is a shame (KwalletManager !!!!)
3. i cannot hide the app in system tray icon at boot ( both vpn and mail-bridge)
4. support for WireGuard ? Do they know wireguard?

i recently stopped surfshark for proton vpn (paid) but i ask my self if..

I agree 1000%

No split tunneling per app (multiplayer games) is a deal-breaker

Port forwarding on macOS

Linux client is very limited. For me, biggest pain points:
1. I need to reconnect manually after waking from sleep. Permanent-killswitch works fine, blocking all connections, but need to reconnect sucks.
2. There is no wireguard.
3. There is no stealth mode.
