  1. iOS: Kill switch automatique and sharing of conections

    I use my iPad or iPhone as a modem for shared connections to connect to the web.
    I don't have an internet box at home. My Windows PC, for example, has to connect to one of my iOS devices.

    On my Windows, Kill Switch is permanently activated. So far, so good.

    Unless I'm mistaken, here's the problem I'm having:
    - For there to be a network connection with my PC, Kill Switch on the iPhone or iPad must be disabled. Otherwise, there's no Internet on my PC.
    - And when I switch off my PC, and want to use my…

  3. LAN subnet allowlist in macOS client

    Add an allowlist of LAN subnets for local routing (macOS). I switched from the PC client, which allows a list of allowable private IP addresses to bypass, to the macOS client which only has the generic "Allow LAN Connections" toggle switch. The macOS client has a lot less functionality and customization: It only passes-through on the current local subnet. If you are on a more complicated local network that includes VLANs, for example if you are on the 192.168.0.x side, you cannot go to 192.168.1.x or 10.0.0.2 or 172.16.0.2, etc. It would be nice to be given the option for…

  5. Linux mit ProtonVPN und Wireguard

    Bedauerlich das man unter Linux nicht die gleichen Eistellungsmöglichkeiten hat wie unter Windows. In den Paketquellen wie Flatpack und Aur kann man nur Openvpn (TCP/UDP) als VPN-Protokoll benutzen. Zudem sind die Eistellungsmöglichkeiten nur in Englischer Sprache möglich. Ich zahle die gleichen Gebühren wie ein Windows-User, bekomme aber nicht das gleiche Angebot. Ich würde lieber das Wireguard-Protokoll benutzen als das Openvpn-Protokoll. Besonders weil Wireguard im Linux-Kernel implementiert ist und damit schneller arbeitet als unter Windows.

  6. 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.

  7. Better map: individual city markers and country outlines

    The server markers on the map can be confusing, especially in very large countries. lt would be nice to have one marker per City, which would also make it easier to find a location closer to yourself in countries like the USA.
    What makes it even more confusing is that there are no country outlines in the desktop (or at least Windows) client. As a result, you often have to guess where each country marker is. One marker per city would help, but even better would be country outlines like in the Android app.
    Another thing that confused me was…

  9. Android: Smart View (Screen/Mirror Cast)

    The Samsung feature called "Smart View" which allows screen casting/screen mirroring your phone to the TV does not work if Proton VPN is enabled despite having the "Smart View" app in the excluded apps list in Proton VPN and despite allowing LAN connections is enabled as well.

    Please fix this issue as this feature can and has been done with other VPN providers.

  10. Netshield settings for Browser Plugin

    I would really love to have the netshield an maybe even the killswitch settings in the VPN Plugin for Browsers. There are some reasons why I dont always have my VPN Client on but I would really love to use the VPN in my Browser all time with all the settings.

  11. Custom DNS should be able to be profile-level, not only app-level

    I have a custom DNS at home. I still want to use VPN and for the most part, your app allows this via the Custom DNS configuration. However, I need to manually change that whenever I leave home and use VPN elsewhere. It'd be nice if I could quickly choose between two profiles, one that is just proton-managed defaults to use outside my home. The other is one I can choose when I'm at home and want to use my own DNS (i have locally hosted services I'd like to still be able to access, my own domain blocking, etc).…

  12. Split tunneling for folders

    I would like to have the option to split tunnel folders so that I don't have to add each program individually to the split tunneling list.

    For example, I want to add all my Steam games to the split tunneling list (for multiplayer games), with this option I only had to add my Steam library folder to the list.

    In this split tunneling folder, there could be an option to exclude some subfolders, so that some games, for example, can still run through the VPN.

  13. Profiles: Select Multiple Countries

    I would love if there was a way to select multiple country servers for a random pool so when I connect I know I'm connected to one of the preferred countries but a different one each time.

  14. CMD W on Mac

    This is not so much something that went wrong but a way to make the App work a little better on Mac. For Proton VPN when you hit CMD W, or click the red circle, it removes the icon from the Dock but it is still working in the background.
    For most Mac Apps, including Proton Mail, hitting CMD W, or clicking the red circle, closes the visible App but leaves the icon in the dock. This lets you quickly open the App again.

    It would be nice if Proton VPN acted the same way.

  15. Country-specific config for wireguard

    For OpenVPN it is possible to download a country-specific configuration file which - when used - connects to the fastest available server.
    Please provide country-specific configs also for wireguard - currently I can only download a config for a specific server in a country.
    Thank you!

  16. Modify Linux app settings when not logged in

    I got into a headscratcher because my gnome-keyring was reset while using the advanced killswitch. After a reboot I was logged out of PVPN and couldn't disable the killswitch since the settings button of the app was disabled. Alternative idea, include this command in the setup guide for Linux so other people with a similar issue can look up the solution from their phone or something: nmcli con delete pvpn-killswitch-perm

  17. 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.

    1. Most serious, quality and useful apps for Linux (about 90%) are uses Qt Framework.

    2. 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.

    3. GTK development is chaotic. The developers themselves don't know what they want. It looks like that GTK…

  18. 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.

  20. Quick kill switch toggle in the Proton VPN GTK app tray menu

    It is already possible to add custom VPN connections to the tray in the Proton VPN GTK app.

    I think there should also be an option to quickly toggle on the kill switch (both standard and advanced) in the tray.
