1. Protecting Your Digital Identity

   (1) Stop INTENTIONALLY BROADCASTING your customers digital identity to SCREENGRABBERS on the Proton VPN splashscreen under the false gaslighting heading "Protecting Your Digital Identity", which you do every single time we change our IP addresses! (2) And find the GOVERNMENT MOLE(s) in Proton who got this EXTREME and OBVIOUS privacy violation designed and implemented in the first place!

   Edit: How has fixing this critical vulnerability not gotten anymore votes by now? If someone doesn't understand what vulnerability I'm talking about, then feel free to ask me. I'll be happy to explain it further.

   Proton VPN is visibly displaying your true IP right now every single time you switch your VPN server. This should concern everyone.

2. Add a "Change Server" Option Before Connection on Windows

   In the free plan, Proton VPN provides access to servers in 10 countries and automatically connects to the fastest available server.

   On Android, while the app is attempting to connect, a "Change Server" option appears every few seconds, allowing users to switch to another server before a connection is established. This is very useful when the selected server is unreachable or blocked.

   However, on the Windows version, the "Change Server" option only becomes available after a successful connection. If the selected server cannot be reached, users may get stuck trying to connect and have no way to switch servers.

   Please add a "Change Server" button to the Windows app before a connection is established, similar to the Android version. This would improve usability and help users connect more reliably when some servers are unavailable.

3. 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.

5. Custom DNS on Windows

   The Android version currently allows you to set custom DNS servers on a profile-by-profile basis. Windows has a single "custom DNS servers" setting that applies to ALL profiles.

   Make Windows version like Android.

6. Add 'include mode' to the browser extension's Split Tunneling feature

   The desktop app has exclude and include modes for split tunneling, allowing you to use it as a blacklist or whitelist respectively.
   The browser extension only has the exclude mode.

   Given recent changes to the internet, selectively VPNing certain websites would be extremely helpful.

7. VLAN/Lan access

   It should be possible to define routes which are not routed over the VPN. So currently my wifi devices are in a dedicated vlan, if I try to connect to a different vlan then with VPN on, its not possible.

9. 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 typing. Using MFA for Proton helps mitigate the risk of this but it's unfortunate to have to rely on this

12. Split tunneling with hostnames

    In the current tech landscape, the same website can be served through thousands of distinct IPs, changing over time depending on specific criteria or even between deployments. It is humanly exhausting, and frankly unfeasible, to require that we have knowledge of IPs or IP ranges to exclude a specific site from VPN usage.

    I firmly believe that it is possible to implement the ability to provide access through hostnames (to enable any level of subdomain as well) without the need for a Herculean effort, even if it is necessary to require the user to use a specific DNS service.

    This is a relevant issue, and it cannot be resolved solely through browser extensions, as the use of hostnames goes far beyond web browsing. It is important to remember that VPN traffic also involves the use of terminals and other local applications, and, in the current approach, it is completely unfeasible to enjoy the use of the resource appropriately.

13. Improve region selection for high-population nations

    The current region selection system for Proton VPN really only works well for low- and mid-population nations, and is highly problematic for many regions of high-population nations. As an example, I can choose the UK, and then select from a list of the six cities in which you provide local presence. This is great. If I want to pop out in London, as opposed to Cardiff, I can. However, in California, U.S., this doesn’t work. Your system cannot iterate down further than one step (nation > city), where there are many places where you might want to go two steps (nation > region > city). As I noted, California is a perfect example of this. It is possible to choose U.S. > California, but not U.S. > California > Los Angeles. Population-wise, it's not far off declaring the U.K. a single endpoint, with no possibility of choosing any of the six cities that are currently supported. In a state as large and populous as California (and there are probably half a dozen other states like it in the U.S.), selecting indiviual cities is important. And I suspect that there are or will soon be other high-population nations with the same problem.

    Please offer a better solution. I don’t care whether it’s providing another layer of depth, with a sub-sub-menu for cities within the state sub-menu, or simply listing every “city” in the U.S. as a sub-menu under the entry for the U.S. But don’t leave it as-is. It sucks, and your competitors offer better selection tools.

14. World map pin on desktop app to show VPN location.

    On iOS app, when you choose a VPN location, the world map pin moves to that location. It would be nice to have this same behavior on the desktop app (Windows). Right now, the map pin is always in the the center of the country. For example, US shows map pin always in state of Nebraska.

15. Upgraded VPN for Mail Plus Subscribers

    I have been a Proton Mail Plus subscriber since 2021. As such I'm entitled to use the free version of Proton VPN. I just learned, however, non-mail subscribers can download and set up the same exact free VPN. To be clear, it appears they pay nothing for this. Seems unfair to paid mail subscribers. I would suggest providing an upgraded VPN with more features for Mail Plus subscribers; something short of VPN Plus. After all, there should be some benefit to being a paid mail customer versus a non-paying, non-customer. I recently cancelled my Express VPN subscription so I could switch to Proton VPN. This issue has caused a bit of disappointment. I respectfully request this matter be considered by the decision makers. Thank you for the forum.

17. 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.

19. Adding an application name instead of the app's location for split tunneling

    give us the option to add the executable name instead adding the file location, some applications after they recieve an update the change the path to the exe file and with the current method i have to go back to protonvpn and add the application back to the list every time, if there was a way to for example tell proton to tunnel the app named "discord.exe" through vpn then after the app receives an update and changes the path i still can use the app with vpn without going through the process of adding it again

20. 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. You could add text below it to indicate which one is the Tor connection. The UI doesn't make it obvious, you need to open the app which in my opinion, defeats the purpose of the widget. You could also change it to show the onion logo like when selecting a country in the first place.

    In regards to the persistent notification, a "Connected to (Country) via Tor" would be appreciated as well.

    I know it's not as critical as other suggestions, but it would certainly be a welcomes QoL update. Thank you.
