  2. 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.

  3. Select country on free plan

    I want to be able to select the country at least, I don't care if I cant choose the server or not, but its annoying having to connect to a place on the other side of the world. I most likely will stop using this VPN if this is not added back.

  4. Better technlology to bypass websites that actively block VPNs

    I am increasingly facing websites that actively block people when connecting via VPN. I see this trend increasing and it is a threat to privacy.

    There was already a feature request in this regard labeled as "finished". Funny enough, the website mentioned in that request still doesn't work with the VPN enabled: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/46860823-bypassing-vpn-blockers-option

    It is really easy for websites to see that the connection is via a VPN and we need better technology design to avoid being blocked for the wrong reasons.

    I certainly don't want to connect to banks or other sites without a VPN connection, especially when in…

  5. Feature parity between Windows/Mac and Linux

    I've started using Proton VPN in Windows, and it's a great app, full of resources, with great graphics, many resources, ability to auto-start, start minimized, auto-connect to a profile... The Mac version also looks very similar to Windows'.

    However, recently I changed to Linux (Pop OS, Ubuntu based), and although I had no problems installing the GUI version of the app, it does not even remotely resemble the Windows/Mac version. It's a very, veeeeeeeeery simple app, without the majority of configuration options present in their other OS's counterparts.

    Proton VPN team should dedicate more time to make the Linux version…

  6. Exclude unwanted countries from the list of random and fastest servers.

    It often happens that in random or fastest mode, a connection is established through servers in countries that are not desirable for many people.

    Allow the use of VPN profiles to setup all/any VPN app settings, grouped into a single profile for quick, multiple use-cases.

  8. Pop-up notifications in the Proton VPN application, specifically those promoting Proton Duo

    I'm writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the recent implementation of pop-up notifications in the Proton VPN application, specifically those promoting Proton Duo.

    As a paid subscriber, I find these pop-ups completely unacceptable for the following reasons:

    1. Disruption: They interrupt my use of the service I'm already paying for.
    2. Irrelevance: I have the subscription I want and need; additional offers are unnecessary.
    3. Respect: As a paying customer, I expect my chosen user experience to be respected without intrusive marketing.

    I request the immediate cessation of all promotional pop-ups within the Proton VPN application for paid subscribers. This is not…

  9. Split Tunneling: Two Different VPN Connections Simultaneously

    If technically feasible, I would find it great if two VPN connections could be established simultaneously via split tunneling, for example one for streaming and one for everything else, or one with port-forwarding and at the same time a second one without port-forwarding.

  10. Real Quantum Encryption

    For all Apps here are a few post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that are being considered as potential replacements for current cryptographic standards:

    1. Lattice-based cryptography: This includes algorithms like NTRUEncrypt, Kyber, and NewHope.

  11. Change desktop app icon color to indicate connection status

    The proton VPN app icon currently shows the connection status by showing a tiny cross sign or a tick, which is hardly noticeable when you have a high-resolution monitor. Changing the icon colour will make it much better. This can even be an option for the user to select the icon they would like to see when the connection is established or disconnected.

  12. Sort the list of countries by proximity

    This would be really useful for those of us who download via Torrent, every time I want to download via Torrent I have to manually search for the country closest to my country to get the fastest download speed. Which makes me have to scroll down quite a lot, when you do it so many times it ends up being very tiring and that's why I would like the country closest to mine to be at the top of the list.

  13. Allow Killswitch to be enabled with Split Tunnel

    Currently, the app will not allow you to use the Split Tunnel feature if you have the Killswitch enabled. Having migrated from Private Internet Access, I was used to having this possibility with their client and would love to see this in Proton VPN as well.

    Having some exceptions configured to bypass the VPN should not completely block the killswitch feature and open the risk of IP leaks.

    I would be okay with the VPN app completely killing my bypassed connections as well, it wouldn't even have to be gracefully respecting those. That would just be a nice-to-have.

  14. Patch memory corruption bugs on Android VPN app

    On April 24th, 2024 it was reported to Proton Support that the Proton VPN app for Android has memory corruption issues and the relevant debug logs were included (request 2830533); the conclusion was that the report would be forwarded to the engineers. This was caught with GrapheneOS' memory tagging extension (MTE) feature which shuts down apps upon detection of memory errors. It's been over six months since the initial report and the Android Proton VPN app still crashes almost instantly if MTE is enabled. Since memory errors pose a security risk, please patch this as soon as possible.

  15. Further Profile Customization - Select Sever by State/Province and City

    Hey all, after using Proton VPN for years, I love the features and options. However, one option I'm finding I wish I had was further server profile customization.

    For instance, if I make a profile for the fastest server in the USA, I cannot select by State. However, when using family streaming accounts on a VPN, I find selecting a local State/Province helps with speed and accessibility. If my family is in Texas and doesn't normally use a VPN, but I log in to the account while connected to a Chicago VPN server, I find the streaming app doesn't work…

  17. ProtonVPN - Improvements to profile

    As there are now 100 countries added, there are countries with local laws that are considered draconian, and the Windows client doesn't support this feature.

    We should have extended option to our custom profiles to pick by state. Right now it's just specific individual servers which isn't fair.

    I keep thinking of looking for another provider until ProtonVPN corrects this.

    For example, states are implementing **** age restrictions mandating IQ laws. They're also trying to add bans on Tiktok and other social media. So I believe we should be able to just pick states that don't have this than just…

  19. Basic VPN plan

    My current VPN service, which includes Google VPN and additional features, costs $25 per year. While I have the free version of ProtonVPN, I don't use it because it lacks servers in my home country, causing issues with accessing some local websites. I would consider switching to ProtonVPN if they offered a paid tier just above the free plan with a reasonable price, ideally including 1 or 2 overseas servers and 1-2 local servers for accessing local content.

  20. Show the US split into states and then show the servers once you select a state

    The US states have different privacy laws and are the same size as many countries on the list, so I feel like when you select us you should get another selection for states before seeing the servers. It would make using US servers much more manageable
