Make Linux Proton VPN the same as Windows/Mac
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…

Port Forwarding is available on Windows (https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding/) but there's no ETA about its availability in Linux.
Creating this specific feature request for Linux support. Feel free to create a copy for MacOS if that's your use case.

Please re-build ProtonVPN Linux GUI app with Qt Framework
Hi! I like the ProtonVPN GUI app on Linux. It has so many good features.
But I think that the choice of GTK was a mistake. This framework is just one large piece of garbage - from both points of view - devs and user experience.
Most serious, quality and useful apps for Linux (about 90%) are uses Qt Framework.
GTK is unpopular. Every year more and more existing Linux software are rewritten with Qt Framework. It's stable and gives better look'n'feel experience.
GTK development is chaotic. The developers themselves don't know what they want. It looks like that GTK…

Reinstate IKEv2 protocol for iOS
IKEv2 is native to iOS.
I know there a security issues with the way iOS implements this protocol on iOS.
But… since often ( in my case as well) a lot of apps offer services which are actually a vpn protocol. Like an adblocker for instance.
Now… I use to be able to setup 2 vpns simultaneously. One protocol and one personal. This because IKEv2 is native to iOS.
Now I constantly have to switch!
Please use a middle ground in this case.
Reinstate the IKEv2 as a protocol option, but warn users of it’s drawbacks.
Everybody wins.
Thanks

Static Port forwarding
Please change the dynamic port forwarding to static port forwarding why:
In my BitTorrent client I have +200 torrents, dynamic port is boring because EVERY TIME I connect to a server I have to change the port in the BitTorrent client settings and the re-announcement is really long for all my torrents.
Please add to the ProtonVPN dashboard panel or in the application, the possibility to add static port like MullvadVPN do, example for the ProtonVPN Plus plans add the possibility to add 10 random forwarded ports.
Plus static forwarded port may work if you use the manual configuration: OpenVPN…

Split Tunneling - Make selected apps or IP's VPN-only
When using split tunneling you are able to select which apps or IP's you want to be routed through the VPN. Would it be possible to to also make the selected apps or IP's only work through VPN? This way if the VPN goes down these apps would blocked but you wouldn't need to kill all internet traffic. This is a feature that Private Internet Access has.

By improving your ad blocker filter list
I did an ad blocker test on https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html.
- With VPN turned on I only got 74% of the ads blocked.
- With VPN turned off and enabled DNS 176.9.93.198 (dnsforge.de) 93% of the ads are blocked! Your VPN service overrides the more powerful ad blocking DNS of dnsforge.de. Please improve your ad blocker.

Two Design Suggestions
It's difficult to distinguish "On" or "OFF" on the Mac Menu Bar Icon.
And the larger screen color should have a light and dark option. While the purple color is dramatic, it's extremely difficult to read.

Headless CLI
There is little reason why the CLI is not able to run in a headless setup and needs authentication via UI.
Seems easy to implement and I seem to remember that this once worked?3 votes -
Add a toggle to your auto renew feature
Add a toggle auto-renew to your subscription plan. The lack of it gives a semi-predatory vibe that feels out of place in such a trusted and professional company. I understand this may cause losses but your product needs to be more than just a pretty UI. People get VPNs because they don't trust that everyone is continuously monitoring their data and you need to make your company reflect the trust that your customers are looking for.
For your consideration,

Add whitelist to Kill Switch
Allow selecting specific networks (LAN or WiFi) to be excluded from the "permanent kill switch" feature on Windows.
This would allow me to connect to my LAN without VPN while at home. But whenever I take my notebook somewhere else, it will be offline until a VPN connection is established.3 votes -

Quantumcomputer Encryption [PRIVACY THREAT]
Since "Save now, Decrypt later" attacks also work on all of our VPN traffic, this is a open threat for every user.

Add more servers in Brazil
Brazil has been facing some political problems because the president and the highest authorities of the Brazilian justice (STF) have an alignment of ideas with communism and dictators, it is essential that Proton seeks ways to circumvent future barriers in Brazil because they want to censor the internet and social networks, telegram for example has been experiencing problems with some frequency in brazil, and in addition brazil is a continental country, the current servers are all located in São Paulo, I suggest that they add more servers distributed in the main capitals of the country to improve connection speed (Rio…

Automatically connect (not automatically reconnect)
The option "Automatically reconnect to Proton VPN when you open your browser" should work every time the browser is opened regardless of whether ProtonVPN was connected before quitting the app. Sometimes I need to turn the VPN off to access a site. However, the next time I reopen the browser, it will not automatically connect.
