Windows ARM64 app
Create a version of ProtonVPN that supports and is optimized for ARM64 based systems, that for example run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chips. As of right now, the ProtonVPN app cannot connect to any servers in the ProtonVPN app, this suggests that the drivers for the "connection card" in these systems are different and need to be specifically utilized to work.

Holding up my purchase of a Windows device with integrated 5G - since they all are mostly ARM-based.

Posting this from a snapdragon laptop, where I was sad to learn I had to fallback to manual wireguard. Please fix.

Pariel pour moi, ProtonVPN est inutilisable, impossible de se connecter, avec un PC ARM Snapdragon X Elite

Simply laziness not to port to ARm which is becoming the mainstream.

Windows on ARM is now mainstream and not a beta. It's past time to add support.
Surely that's not too difficult since you already support Windows on X86 and multiple OSs on ARM (Android, IOS).

ARM64 Windows devices are not only mainstream now, they are in fact heavily promoted. The WireGuard client is not a sufficient replacement for a native Proton VPN client.

I am about to buy a new Microsoft Copilot+ Laptop, which is also ARM based, but I do not find any information which of the Proton apps would work and which not. As I understand VPN probably not, but what about Mail and Pass?
So, I would also urge you to prepare the needed apps, but also to update your information pages regarding this issue -

We are getting ready to move to Microsoft Surface 11 which is Snapdragon X only. Will this cause us to move away from Proton?

With many PC vendors, including Microsoft with their Flagship Surface line, now shipping ARM devices on Windows, this needs to happen immediately. While it is possible to configure the VPN manually, things like Port Forwarding require the app in order to work correctly.

Windows on ARM processor is already available as a beta, so I ask you to develop an ARM64 version of your software, which simply requires a new compilation. That's why I'm asking you to make sure there are more Windows tablets to buy. I don't want you to miss the trend. That's exactly how I'm rooting for it in the Linux Debian area.
