Have the possibility to select the city in addition to the country to have the correct province associated with our position.

Please add this! Like everyone else, I'd like to be able to choose what city to connect to, but I don't want to have to pick a specific server that might be down or overloaded the next time I go to connect. Let me pick a city, and when it connects, just grab the lowest load server that's up. NordVPN does this and it works great...

TBH, the current situation in large countries is as if you just labeled all the european servers "EU". Might as well stop saying countries and just call them regions -- whether they're cities or provinces or whatever I don't actually care. I just want to pick something within say 1000km of the map marker.

Edit 01-10-2025: I think this has been implemented...sort of? At least in the USA, on Windows and Android. See the separate comment I posted with details.
This is *ESSENTIAL* functionality. I have completely given up on allowing ProtonVPV to automatically choose a server, which is almost never in the closest city. Instead, every time I need to connect or switch when a server gets too slow, I have to do it manually by searching on the country-locale ID (e.g., US-NY).
Unfortunately, this doesn't address the problem of ProtonVPN almost never selecting a reasonably low-load server, but at least it's a start.

THIS. You regularly pick a "fastest" server on the other side of the country, and no, that's not what I wanted.
(Also just a "region" would be fine; I usually don't need a particular city.)

When we create a profile, we need to be able to select:
- Country
- City
- Leave the choice of server to "Fastest"
That would save us a lot of headache searching through all the servers in a city manually trying to find one that is not overloaded. A lot of ProtonVPN servers are loaded heavily these days. -

Mentioned this in another post, but voting and commenting here as well for visibility. This would be a great feature. The ability to create a profile that connects only to servers within a city (or any combination of servers ideally) would be great. Just including a simple checkbox next to the list of servers when creating a profile and then connecting to the fastest / most stable within that list would be really nice.

Only reason why I don't purchase the premium version is because I need a VPN to show a specific city FOR WORK. Otherwise, it's not even worth it to me. If I could choose the city to make it look like I'm THERE I would greatly appreciate it.

100% need this. Only reason I don’t use protonvpn on iOS anymore.

I would like to be able to edit my profile to choose a city (and get the fastest connection available for that city each time) instead of a specific server.
