Automatic MTU negotation
For protonvpn with wireguard, I need to manually adjust the MTU down due to using a 5g hotspot wifi solution. It would be really nice if the app could automatically negotiate the optimal MTU when setting up, I imagine by just pinging the VPN bastion server with different packet sizes (once authenticated) and adjusting from there.
Otherwise it would be nice if the app would at least allow you to override the MTU for different underlying networks.

Absolutely this!
To be honest, I don’t mind whether it is automatic or manual, as long as it is possible to adjust the MTU. Come to think of it, I would prefer it to be a manual and permanent setting to avoid any unnecessary lag when negotiating (I’m not entirely sure, but I imagine that could be the case).
As it is now, I am forced to use OpenVPN or the native WireGuard client, which is far from optimal.
I suggest simplifying the title of this request to “Adjustable MTU” or something similar to give it a wee punch.
