Circumventing Censorship and Connection Issues
In regions with strict censorship, NAT mode, campus networks, and other specific environments, a proxy is often required to log in and connect; moreover, success largely depends on luck, and speeds are quite unstable.
I have reviewed the latest proxy protocols—such as hy2, xhttp, and anytls—which have strong anti-censorship capabilities. Why not combine the features of these protocols to develop a new protocol that is compatible, stable, and fast? Based on these protocols, a new configuration file and protocol could be developed, allowing users to choose whether to route traffic through this protocol when logging in, sending the traffic to…3 votes -
Change or revert the new look.
Companies seem to always go back and forth with this constantly in these industries with making things look more compact. Usually all this does is make it take more clicks to get to something that the user needs to get to making it more inconvenient to use. Function over form please. When trying to pick a certain or specific connection now it takes three to four clicks going through menus when it used to just be a list.

Allow some choice of where to connect .
Like I'm sure many others I feel I already have enough security with Protonmail. I need (want) a UK based VPN for about 3-4 months of the year when I am out of the country. (I've found the BBC disables attributes on their news website depending on the ISP address and this is annoying.) I use one or two email addresses at most and am already paying for Mail+ for a load of features I largely don't need. Now you want more money for access to a load more VPN features I don't need or want. Seems a bit unfair

easier way to report broken/unavailable site
Currently we are asked to fill out the entire form at https://protonvpn.com/support-form
It would be nice (likely to result in more feedback, which presumably helps techs to ID issues and fix them) if it was simpler and quicker to report a site is broken due to using Proton VPN.3 votes -
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.

Provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" connections
First, regarding the WINDOWS client, thanks for the option to "pin" recently used locations/servers (connections). Much appreciated!
REQUEST: To improve the "pin" function on the WINDOWS client (and potentially other clients), please provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" locations/servers (connections).
Currently, on the WINDOWS client, you offer options to "unpin" and "remove" pinned connections.
In addition to "unpin" and "remove" options, I'd like to have an option to "move" where each pinned connection appears within the list of "pinned" connections. For example, upon selecting the proposed "move" option on the WINDOWS client, I hope to be…

Add netshield setting to profiles in Windows app
Allow netshield to be specified on/off in profiles as it is in the Android app. This allows ad-blocking to be turned off easily by connecting to a new profile if a web site is not being displayed properly

[MacOS] 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.

Make Proton VPN with Google Play and F-Droid have different IDs
Currently, after installing the F-Droid version, Google Play tries to download and install an update for Proton VPN every time it searches for and installs updates for user applications, and it fails. It would be better if Google Play did not see the application installed via F-Droid and did not waste traffic, battery life, and did not annoy the user with notifications that the update installation was unsuccessful, but will be repeated later.

Apple TV app improvement
I believe it would be helpful for most Apple TV VPN users if the "Recommended" category were changed to "Favorites," allowing each user to add their favorite countries individually.

Show server’s/country’s flag on browser’s extension instead of locked icon
It would be a nice visualization and addition to
the browser extension if we could see the flag of the servers or countries we connect to instead of having a green lock. The new browser extension would allow us to see and remember what country we are connected to without having to click the extension every time to see if we are connected . However, when browser extension is not connected to a server I think it is convenient to display a red unlocked icon, since we aren’t connected to a server3 votes -
After update, icon is not in the taskbar
On Windows 10.
Since I have about 20 apps that add an icon to the taskbar, I hide many of them.
I want Proton VPN to be in the taskbar so I know if it is connected or not.
When Proton VPN is updated, the icon disappears and I have to go back into the task bar settings to re-enable it.
Thanks

VLAN/Lan access
It should be possible to define routes which are not routed over the VPN. So currently my wifi devices are in a dedicated vlan, if I try to connect to a different vlan then with VPN on, its not possible.

Split tunneling file selection dialog used to remember the last folder you selected, now it defaults to documents
This is very useful and was included in the previous version, now we have to constantly navigate to appdata for re-adding discord since every discord update comes with a new folder and executable

Copy forwarded port from the tray icon menu
With the new Windows app, copying the port can get a bit annoying. Currently, the way to copy the port is by opening the app, hovering over 'Port forwarding', and clicking the copy icon. This adds a lot of unnecessary delay, like waiting for the app to open or for the flyout with the port to fade in.
Adding a 'Copy port' entry in the tray icon menu would be a quick and easy way to quickly copy the forwarded port number.

On the "Create Profile" page, automatically suggest a profile name, the suggested name including the SERVER name and CITY
Request: On the "Create Profile" page, automatically suggest a profile name, the suggested name including the SERVER name and the CITY in which the server resides.
For example, if I were to select server US-IL#200 from the dropdown menu for selecting the server, something like "US-IL#200 (Chicago)" would be automatically added to the name field as a suggested name. Similarly, if I were to create a profile selecting the fastest server in the US, the suggested name could be something like "United States (fastest)" or similar. Including the protocol in the suggested name would also be good, but at least…

Split Tunneling as a Premium feature
Can you enable Split Tunneling in free version? I used plus version for a month and have some setups depending on it but it stopped working.. Free version is enough for my needs, I don't want to pay for all features that i don't actually need.

Linux beta client: Allow server ranges for the text options
Currently, one can set two different text boxes in the beta Linux client: "Auto connect", which accepts country codes, a specific server (such as NL#42) or "FASTEST". And then there's "Pinned tray connections", which accepts country code or specific server, multiple entries, comma-delimited.
While we're waiting for a better GUI, I would like to have the option of picking a specific range of servers for "Auto connect", such as: US#18-25 (for example).
As well as for "Pinned tray connections", choosing a ranged server entry would pick the best option within that range. A typical "Pinned tray connections" would look like…
