    This feature could be more broad to exclude free servers, certain countries, certain states (US), and certain cities.

    Hi. Is this a thing?
    Why would a paid subscriber ever want be downgraded to a overloaded free server anyway?

    FYI: ProtonVPN has recently also started reducing the few country choices previously available to free accounts - Now an algorithm decides where you connect to - supposedly to more efficiently "load shed" on these "overloaded" servers. (Against the opinion of those customers)

    If the suggestion on this page was adopted - not pushing paid VPN accounts onto the free servers, then bot-driven "load sharing" also wouldn't be neccesary for free acounts.

    And primium paid servers would be exclusively for paid accounts.
    Everyone wins.
    C'mon Proton - reverse your bad decision on free servers - and add the button suggested here
