Xray-core(dpi bypass protocol, in authoritarian countries)
We suggest considering Xray-core as an alternative to current VPN protocols. Due to the expanding list of countries using internet censorship. Xray, as a successor to V2Ray, promises significant improvements: higher performance due to an optimized core, support for modern protocols (VLESS, Trojan) and advanced traffic obfuscation (XTLS), which is critical for bypassing DPI and ensuring reliable access.

Split-Tunneling App List
The current implementation of Split-Tunneling is good but I ran into a problem adding XBOX GamePass Games to it because the folder permissions does not allow Proton to open the .exe Files. I tried it by adding access rights for my user and for administrators but it still does not work.
My feature suggestion: Add a list of installed or currently running apps that we can easily select for split tunneling.
Or maybe a seperate Feature to add all XBOX App/GamePass Games to the exclusion4 votes -
SSO (single sign on) for Unlimited Accounts
It's unfortunate having to sign into the VPN with your username and password for the VPN - for some of my devices I'm using Windows or Android, where I don't consider the operating system secure.
Users should have the ability to sign into Proton VPN with single sign on from a trusted device.
For instance, I'm using Linux and GrapheneOS for relatively secure environments, but I'd still like to be able to sign into Proton VPN on Windows, for instance, without having to type in my entire email and password - Windows itself has been proven to track what you're…

Android Widget & Notification UI update for Tor servers
When you go to the 'Countries' tab on Android you can select from "All, Secure Core, P2P & Tor" options. If you select Tor, one of the options is "Fastest Country." When you connect to that, there is no indication that you're connected to a Tor server unless you either open the app or manually check your IP address.
If you use the widget on the home screen there is nothing differentiating a regular "Fastest Country" over "Fastest Country via Tor" either in the widget or the persistent notification. In regards to the widget, both use the same lightning icon.…

Improve error message when trying to connect to a VPN without NetworkManager.service
I am using Omarchy and when I installed the proton-vpn-gtk-app package and tried connecting, it displayed the generic error message "Something went wrong | An unexpected error has occured". I had to check the logs to figure out that the reason why it was failing was that the NetworkManager.service daemon was not running, because Omarchy uses systemd-networkd. Unless there's a skill issue on my end, I would like to suggest displaying a more clear error message when that happens, so the users quickly know to switch to NetworkManager if they need to use Proton VPN.

Correct Panama Servers IP Ranges Problem
Hello Proton VPN team
My best wishes for you.Recently you launched Panama Servers through of a suggestion that I send you. Now It's working wrong, because when I connect my devices in that servers, the IP address is from USA (usually from Los Angeles) instead Panama, and when I'm using my Panamanian apps automatically is detected that problem and it's impossible to use them.
Usually the IP address range that I can see when I use Panama server is like 51.179.177.21
Please help me with this problem to change to correct Panamanian IP Ranges, cause is so difficult to…

Better support for GNOME's "Background Apps" feature
Not every Linux desktop environment comes out with support for tray icons, the most infamous one for that being GNOME, one of the most popular desktop environments. Since GNOME 44, it focuses on a "Background apps" feature, which uses xdg-desktop-portal to find apps running in the background, with the ability to show them.
Personally, I must say I like that feature, and would like to avoid installing extensions adding back the tray. At the same time, I'd love it if the Proton VPN was able to start minimized on login in my prefered DE, especially since it's possible for other…

Browse for additional applications in Split Tunneling on Proton VPN Linux
Much like in the Proton VPN application for Windows - where you can browse for a specific .exe - it would be great to be able to browse for additional applications in the Split Tunneling menu on Proton VPN for Linux as well, since not all installed applications - e.g. all applications without GUI - are listed and cannot at the moment be included/excluded in the list of apps for Split Tunneling.
This small change would make this feature so much more flexible!2 votes -
Fix Free Tier Country List: Linux/Config file Shows 10, GUI Apps Display Only 5
This request addresses an inconsistency across ProtonVPN platforms regarding the number of countries available on the Free plan.
Currently:
Linux GUI, CLI, and manual configuration files (OpenVPN/WireGuard) correctly expose 10 free countries, matching what the backend actually provides.
Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and tvOS apps display only 5 countries in their GUI, even though random connecting to all 10 is possible via backend/API.
This creates a confusing discrepancy for users and contradicts the behavior of Linux clients and manual configs.
Proton and web pages also show mixed information (some mention 5, others implicitly reflect 10), further adding to user confusion.

Wireguard Configuration Page
On the Wireguard configuration page, instead of limiting server options for users, how about builtding a filter that would allow users to select the country and city/state. This would allow the list to be generated on demand thus allowing users to select the best server for their use case. This should also minimize the over head of providing the full list and also allowing it to filter out servers that are under maintenance. I think this would be huge imprrovment for usability and could improve customer satisfaction.

Kill switch should stay on with split tunneling
I use Proton VPN at the router level, so my home Wi-Fi is already protected. On my laptop, I’d like to exclude my home network from the VPN using split tunneling without disabling the kill switch.
Right now, having both the router VPN and the laptop VPN running creates a double VPN, which slows down all internet traffic while I’m at home. If split tunneling worked with the kill switch enabled, I could use my home network normally without the slowdown, and when I leave home and connect to any other network, the kill switch would still protect me—no manual…

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.

More physical server providers in Indonesia
Hello. I just noticed that u guys finally added a new server provider in Indonesia that is actually located in Indonesia. From what i have noticed it looks like the multiple servers are from the same server provider. Is it possible to have more servers from another server provider?
The reason for this is the fact that sometimes our ISPs have a bad link to that server provider which will add latency or make our speed worse. Not only that sometimes that said server provider can have a bad international link to some servers that maybe we want to access.…

Netshield improvements on all platforms
Netshield works well for the most part but it does not block as many ad networks as I would have anticipated. Some mobile games still show ads when being played while Netshield is enabled. I understand the usability aspect of things need to work, it would be beneficial to offer different levels of blocking so we could adjust the service to or liking or standards. This could be done by offering different levels like standard, advanced, adult, family or custom block lists that are supported through the app.

Provide a hostname with A + AAAA records for WireGuard dual-stack support
WireGuard only allows a single endpoint address per peer. This means customers who receive both an IPv4 and IPv6 address cannot use both protocols in their WireGuard configuration — they have to pick one.
If you provided a hostname per server with both an A and AAAA record, WireGuard clients would automatically resolve to whichever protocol is available on their network. This would make dual-stack WireGuard setups work out of the box without requiring customers to register their own domain.2 votes
