Linux client as a Flatpak
As Flathub is available in most distros it would make sense to publish the linux client as a Flatpak. And in addition with groving numbers in immutable distros, Flatpak is the prefferred method to install software.

Allow Local DNS entries for Custom DNS
The ability to add a local IP address (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) for Custom DNS.
Like many others, I run Pi-hole at home for DNS blocking and local DNS records. With the current version 4.2.1 on Windows, if you add a local IP address to Custom DNS, DNS resolution will fail. I only need a VPN for a handful of programs, and I would like the rest of the computer to be as untouched as possible (no whole-device DNS changes & more).

Offer split tunneling, even with the kill switch activated
Sometimes, we want all our traffic to go through the VPN (including things the system does in the background), except for one or two applications/hostnames/IPs. The current approach does not allow this to be done without completely disabling the kill switch.
It's technically possible to implement this, although I admit it may require some changes on the client-side of the VPN. But this is very important!

More Servers Outside of Jurisdictions with Age Verification Laws
With the implementation of age verification laws in the UK, Australia, and many states in the US, as a ProtonVPN user only using the free tier, I don’t want to connect to a server in a jurisdiction where I would have to show my ID. I propose, as a passive endeavor, that when you, the team behind ProtonVPN buys new servers, you avoid putting them in jurisdictions with age verification laws, to give a better chance of the fastest servers being in restrictive locations.

Proposal for Universal Linux App Distribution via Flatpak or Snap
Proton VPN is currently officially supported on a limited number of distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora) through separate
.deband.rpmpackages. This approach requires maintaining distinct packages, which can be an unnecessary burden on your development team, and it leaves out users on a large number of other popular distributions like Arch, OpenSUSE, Solus, and immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue.To address this, we propose adopting a universal Linux application packaging format, specifically Flatpak or Snap, for the official Proton VPN client.
Key Benefits of Adopting Flatpak or Snap:
- Massive Distribution Coverage: A single Flatpak (via Flathub) or Snap…

Improve Stealth Mode - it is currently detected by Google
While using Stealth Mode, YouTube is now consistently asking me to sign in, to "prove that I am not a bot". This did not happen in the past. When disconnecting from Proton VPN, YouTube no longer is asking for a sign in. So obviously Google is able to detect the difference between a "Stealth" connection and a normal connection. This would disqualify this protocol as being "Stealth". Please improve Stealth Mode.

Allow profiles to select a city on macOS/iOS
This is already available with Windows and Android, please bring this existing feature to macOS and iOS.
It's especially useful for users in bilingual countries, where only being able to select a country at the profile/quick connect level often lands you on a server in a city that speaks a different language (and thus causes websites to default to the wrong language).
Selecting by city is a tedious manual step on these platforms, and is annoying to have to do by hand every time.

Add setting "allow LAN connected" for linux
Please add the setting to "allow LAN connections" for Linux while connected to vpn. Turning the vpn off to use the printer is no fun.

Split tunneling, select which app connects through which country
It would be great if Proton VPN split tunneling worked so that I can select which app's traffic is routed through whic country. For example, I'd like to select that Youtube goes through Moldova, Firefox through Netherlands, banking app through Germany etc. This could maybe be built into profiles as well so I can quickly set up even different split tunneling scenarios.

Free Austria VPN Server for Forumula 1
I love to watch formula one and it would be great if one austria server would become free. However, it would be understandable if it is not implemented.

Prioritize physical servers instead of the virtual servers on countries with both
Right now, in Indonesia we have both physical servers and virtual servers. The thing is, when u click connect to Indonesia. It will randomly choose the virtual servers instead of the physical servers. In my opinion this is a flawed logic because not only do we have more added latency. There are also a few different sites that can tell that Proton's virtual IPs are not actually from Indonesia. Not only that, having ProtonVPN prioritize physical servers means that you will also most likely have a better speed and experience overall because we wont have to worry about the quality…

Netshield ad blocker - add possibility to whitelist domains/subdomains
I need to deactivate the ad-blocker in Netshield when I visit certain websites (eg. Google Analytics). Please add the possibility to whitelist some domains/subdomains so we don't have to disable this feature.

Fix Custom DNS on Linux and Windows
Custom DNS on Linux and Windows Does not work. The custom DNS address is ignored, and DNS requests are still sent via Proton servers.
It works on Android (although after some time it seems to revert to Proton DNS servers until I disconnect and reconnect, when it starts working again).
This needs resolving please.

User Interface Refresh for Fire TV/Android TV + inclusion of profiles
A major overhaul/refresh of the Fire/Android TV apps to bring in some cohesion with Apple TV, Windows and phone apps.
Also to include profile options like Fastest Location (excluding my country) for the TV apps. If not profiles, at least the Fastest Location (ex.) option.

Split-Tunneling Fill Switch and Advance Kill Switch
Proton Unlimited has the best features compaired to other services, but needs to fix critical features with ProtonVPN:
ProtonVPN has a Regular Kill Switch, but for optimal security it needs to have an Advance Kill Switch (An advanced VPN kill switch is a security feature that prevents your device from connecting to the internet unless it is actively connected to a VPN server. Unlike basic kill switches that only activate when the VPN disconnects unexpectedly, the advanced version blocks all internet traffic even if the VPN app is closed, restarted, or during system boot-up and shutdown). ProtonVPN Split-Tunneling automatically blocks…6 votes -
Missing data transfer notification option
In the notification area, only the country and total upload/download and speed since the start of using the application are displayed. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to specify, for example, daily download/upload or weekly or monthly or select a date from when to when. This option would be great for tracking a monthly data plan

Mock gps
A vpn feature known usually as mock GPS.
It would have different options such as masking your GPS location to match your vpn ip address or to a specific location.Such as the browser extension cloaq on desktop or the Mock GPS Location app on the Play Store.
There is also a simple version included in Surfshark that only uses the matching option.16 votes
