Domain Split tunnelling in Desktop app
In the Windows app, there should be an option to split tunnel domains as well as IPs, sometimes specific apps block VPNs and it would be nice to split tunnel a specific domain device wide rather than having to choose an IP because IPs don't always work, especially in some games that block VPNs

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.

Improve VPN on Apple devices
Currently, ProtonVPN works fine on Windows and probably others, but on Apple devices, the VPN has issues connecting and mostly simply refuses. I am in a heavily censored environment, which is likely the issue, but it works fine on windows. Maybe implement windows connection technologies on Apple devices?

More Netshield statistics
At the moment, you can see in Netshield how many adverts have been blocked and how many trackers have been stopped.
It would also be great if you could see exactly which ones and on which page or in which app they were.
The display keeps resetting. I’m fine with that in principle, but an overview of these statistics would be very interesting for tech enthusiasts. ;-)

Option to choose available servers in free version
Sometimes it can be annoying that I can't choose a stable needed server for me on free version of the VPN, that's why some servers sometimes get overloaded with users and it's really hard to find a different server that isnt as much loaded. Please add this to the VPN!

Secure core chaining
I wanted to suggest a potential enhancement for the Secure Core feature. Currently, it’s only possible to select one Secure Core server as the first hop, and the exit must be outside the Secure Core network. It would be great if users could chain multiple Secure Core servers together.
For example, it could allow connections like Switzerland → Iceland, or Switzerland → Sweden, rather than being limited to an external exit server. This would provide an additional layer of security for users who want to maximize jurisdictional protection across multiple Secure Core nodes.
Thank you for considering this improvement, and…10 votes -
Mobile app - Allow "trust wifi network" option
VPN Always on - for this feature, it would be nice to have a "trust wifi network" option. Like Nord VPN, you can trust a certain wifi network so when you connect to that wifi network it disconnects the VPN. When you disconnect from that network it reconnects to the VPN. You can have a list of trusted wifi networks remembered in the app.

More server list on the Apple TV app
Right now the choice is really limited of the servers that can be picked per country on the apple TV app.
This is limiting because some servers sometimes don't work or are banned and then the vpn is un-usable.

Improve the speed of "Auto startup".
It takes a lot of time for Proton VPN to launch & connect to a VPN server automatically. I log on and have to wait a lot before being able to use the internet as I have to wait for Proton VPN to connect to a server. This is really annoying and is like my number one concern with Proton VPN.
One proposed fix was: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/44812795--feature-request-connect-on-boot, which says "completed" but no matter how hard I try to find this function, it, as far as I know, doesn't exist.
Please do something about this. I'm not a developer so I…

Application Logs
In settings > view logs - create a toggle to enable Application, WireGuard and Transaction logging within the application. There are benefits to having this logging available, however it should be disabled by default and only enabled for troubleshooting/debugging issues. This would improve application performance significantly and it would remove a potential privacy issue related to application log access.

ProtonVPN + Tailscale compatability
Hi Proton team,
I really appreciate how fast Proton iterates. One recurring pain point for privacy-conscious self-hosters is VPN + Tailscale coexistence.
When Proton VPN is active (especially with kill switch), Tailscale stops working properly. This forces users to constantly disable one or the other, which defeats part of the purpose of running self-hosted services privately.
Would it be possible to improve split tunneling / "Allow LAN access" so that it reliably works with Tailscale (and similar tools like Netbird or Headscale)? Even a dedicated "Overlay network mode" or better documentation would help a lot of power users.

Support Windows MSIX / MS Store apps for Split Tunneling
When selecting applications to be allowed through or denied for split-tunneling on windows, only the raw path to the exe is supported.
The raw path of MS Store apps like Windows APP to replace RDP has the version in the path to the executable.
It also has seamless updating. So it randomly stops working since my work needed the Windows App to be not going through VPN.Please add this functionality to the UI / Engine to allow at least resolving the path to the MSIX / MS Store app.
You can do this in powershell or similar for example…

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.21 votes -
Perpetual NetShield Statistics
I think being able to see the total amount of ads blocked and data saved perpetually would be pretty cool. I'm especially referring to the android VPN app as the statistics reset every time the VPN is turned off or changed.

Feature for Proton VPN (gtk) App
Proton VPN App creates an icon in the toolbar / app-bar, where hovering mouse over it tells "Proton VPN". That is good for the beginner, but the thing I usually want to know is 1) Where am I connected [CH-#123] or if I am not connected, 2) to tell [Proton VPN not connected]. At the present I have to open the "Show" to see the connection. Even more information could be useful, but I have no ideas for that.
Secondly I want the "Show" appear just below the "Disconnect" option. "Quit" can well be the last one.

Linux - Include client options to GUI
Currently the linux client have several interested features that could be great to have in the GUI.
For example be able to connect to fastest secure core server, or random secure core (--random -sc), random p2p, etc.
It could be an option to click connect, like the other ones, or a param that could be added in the Autoconnect or Pinned tray icons, like the already existing "Fastest" option.For example:
1. SecureCore -> --securecore
2. Random -> --random
3. RandomSecureCore -> --random --securecore
4. P2P -> --p2p
5. RandomP2P -> --random --p2pOnly the GUI because it has support…
