Dedicated IP for personal plans
It is an option for business users and would be a nice add for home users. My wife is sick of all the capchas and blocked sites from the VPN. I have been using Proton mail since 2019 and the unlimited since last year. Had to switch back to mail only until you add the dedicated ip to home users at a reasonable cost.
Thank you for the consideration.

Firewalls and security services frequently offer the option to permit access from Dedicated or Specific IPs. For example, in a WordPress site with security plugins, you can limit access to the Admin area to only the IP's you specify. While this would be a fantastic way to harden sites, I am hesitant to us it as I don't know if/when my Internet Service Provider or Proton will change the IP of my router or server, respectively. If they did, I could lose access to my website administration account. Having a dedicated IP would solve this. So count me in on this one!

I agree with this point and believe it should be included in higher-tier plans without extra cost. It would be great to have a dedicated IP at the router level along with Proton VPN servers at the device level to secure the entire home.

I agree and I think it should be included at least with higher tier plans without an additional cost. I would love to have a dedicated IP at the router level and proton VPN servers at the device level to cover the whole home.

Compared to other comments here I'm not too bothered by the captcha's, what I'm particularly interested in is the possibility to access my home servers (domotic, media, etc...).

This would be amazing! I would definitely pay extra for this addon if it was added

If it was possible to switch to this dedicated IP only when required I think it'd be a good idea.

My bank now blocks ProtonVPN's servers, and the Google captchas are getting out of hand. Would love the option to purchase a dedicated IP.

I agree that a Dedicated IP is needed (NordVPN offers it for example as a paid add on). However I also find that some engineering is needed to fix the excessive captchas when connected to ProtonVPN (seems to be much worse than with other VPNs) and also to circunvent VPN blocking (I've seen a number of websites that block VPNs and a dedicated IP doesn't fix that most of the time).

Would absolutely love a dedicated IP for my main browsing devices and a non-dedicated one for my other connections
With each user of the duo plan getting 10 connections each (which is good) the ability to use them in a variety of ways as-needed would be great

Use free bash script to setup shadowsocks. 1 click script.
I switched to Proton after 6 years on SS only coz I need many countries

I think we really need this. I fully agree with it and it so happens that my wife is actually constantly disabling the VPN and I can't blame her.
Privacy comes at a cost of less user friendlyness but could easily be fixed.

It's a necessary evil. I have to use other providers in order to get it, which is against MY mission statement lol...Do we know if these requests are looked at? or do they go to deaf ears? I mean, does someone who has authority to make or propose changes read these?
Hmm...maybe the cleaning people get these.

Dedicated IPs seem to be against proton's mission statement. I understand how useful they are for regular use but I vote no against dedicated IPs for now. Lets get other problems fixed up.
Dedicated IPs are the illusion of privacy, especially when the government has automatic subpoenas for a copy of their metadata.

As a visionary user, I’m close to needing to abandon my plan in favor of NordVPN or PIA, who both offer dedicated IPs, because browsing the internet on ProtonVPN has just gotten too difficult. I’ve also tried Mullvad, which doesn’t offer dedicated IPs, but does seem to have a fraction of the server blocks / captchas. The fact that so many Proton servers are blacklisted is a sign of its success, which I’m glad to see! But to stay useful, we need dedicated IPs.

Nowadays it is a necessary option. The number of ProtonVPN blacklisted IPs is growing fast. The captchas and having to change servers frequently are annoying.

Yes please. This would make it easier to use financial sites

Yes please, here too. Almost impossible to use goverment pages through Proton VPN.

Yes please, it's getting impossible to navigate using ProtonVPN, the servers are blacklisted in every firewall out there.
