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.

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.

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.…

"Random" option when creating a profile
When creating or editing a Standard VPN Profile, you select the country and then are given the option of "Fastest" or a given city/server. ProtonVPN used to have the option of to select "Random" here as well, ie a random server from within a specific country, but that seems to have been removed. Please add that option back.

Inverse Split Tunneling for Firefox extension
Currently, Split Tunneling in the ProtonVPN extension for Firefox allows excluding certain sites from using the VPN. It's ok. However, in certain circumstances, the opposite may be preferable: enabling ProtonVPN only for certain critical sites and leaving all other sites to browse without it.

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 -
Maintain 'Open' or 'Moderate' NAT Type While Port Forwarding for Enhanced Multiplayer Gaming Experience"
Why does enabling port forwarding change the NAT type from "Moderate" to "Strict"? It should either be "Open" or remain "Moderate." This distinction is crucial for many online P2P multiplayer games, such as GTA Online & many more, where a "Strict" NAT type severely hampers multiplayer functionality.
I hope that in the future, Proton VPN can address this issue, allowing users to achieve an "Open" or "Moderate" NAT type while port forwarding is enabled.
I hope this concern is taken seriously. Thank you.

Proton VPN Windows client prevents LAN access. Help!
When the Proton VPN Windows client is connected to the VPN, I am unable to access other PCs on the LAN. If PVPN is disconnected, then the PCs are accessible. The setting in the client to allow LAN access is enabled. The PCs on the LAN all have static IP addresses, as do all the networking devices. So, how can LAN resources be made available when PVPN is connected?

Replace location switch timers with advertisements
The way that the free version of Proton VPN currently works (on mobile, at least) is that the locations users can switch to are randomised, and there are timers that force you to wait between switches. Not only is this annoying for users, but from a business perspective, it doesn't seem very profitable. I understand that these features are here to encourage people to buy the premium version, but that leaves the people who don't want a subscription not being profitable at all. My proposal is to replace the timers and randomisation with needing to watch an ad to switch…

Physically Located VPN Server on the Philippines
Hello,
Could you please consider adding or switching to a server provider that is physically located in the Philippines?
I’ve noticed that other VPN providers like Mullvad and Windscribe use Zenlayer for their Philippine servers. Perhaps Proton could explore incorporating Zenlayer as well to enhance local connectivity and performance.
Thank you for your consideration.

Block malware & trackers (not ads)
To support websites that’s dependent on advertising, I’d like to block trackers whilst refusing tracking.
Writing this I realize it might be the case that it’s not possible to separate ads and tracking since they’re delivered by the same domains. In that case please close this suggestion.

Feature parity between Windows/Mac and Linux
I've started using Proton VPN in Windows, and it's a great app, full of resources, with great graphics, many resources, ability to auto-start, start minimized, auto-connect to a profile... The Mac version also looks very similar to Windows'.
However, recently I changed to Linux (Pop OS, Ubuntu based), and although I had no problems installing the GUI version of the app, it does not even remotely resemble the Windows/Mac version. It's a very, veeeeeeeeery simple app, without the majority of configuration options present in their other OS's counterparts.
Proton VPN team should dedicate more time to make the Linux version…
1,075 votesCurrently all three of these systems have feature parity; the gap is in terms of UI, and this is something that we have in our plans to close.

Adult content filtering
Adding adult content filtering option for NetShield feature would be most welcoming for families or people trying to be free of its negative effects for themselves.
I have to use custom DNS option from outside of Proton VPN which can be risky for privacy concerns.
Filtering out industry that too often is predatory, capitalizing on peoples loneliness or people in desperate situations is a net positive in my opinion for everybody involved.

Allow Kill Switch to block Internet when VPN failed to connect on startup.
The kill switch allows you to connect to the internet if Proton VPN failed to connect (during start-up) or if you manually disconnected.
It would be more secure if it only allowed connections through a VPN.
I personally connected to multiple public hotspots without noticing that my VPN was actually off.

Each fresh login receives a new IP address. The Windows app requires opening the VPN to view it. I would like to see it in the taskbar app.
In the previous windows version, I could see the IP address without opening the full VPN.
Not so with this latest version.When monitoring security events on websites I need to see what my IP address is to determine if it's my traffic or something else.

Change the Firefox extension icon based on the split tunneling status on the current domain
Currently, when the user has enabled split tunneling in the ProntonVPN extension for Firefox, the extension icon always remains green even on sites where the VPN is disabled. This can be confusing, especially if the user does not remember which sites they are using split tunneling on and which they are not. In my opinion, it would be much clearer if the icon showed a green padlock on sites where the VPN is active, and a red open padlock on sites where split tunneling disables the VPN.
This request applies both to normal split tunneling and to Inverse Split Tunneling…

Set a Favorite Server as Default
In the next Proton VPN update, I suggest that the user have the option to set a favorite server as default. That way, whenever someone turns on their computer or phone, they are logged in directly to it. For example, I really like the performance and speed of server 101 (Brazil). But having to select it every time is quite inconvenient.
