Application ProtonVPN for KDE Plasma (Flatpak, RPM, DEB)
KDE Plasma users currently have no official ProtonVPN application. The community Flatpak works, but it is not maintained by Proton and lacks full feature parity with the official GNOME version.
Problem:
KDE‑based gaming distributions (Bazzite, Nobara, Fedora KDE, Kinoite) rely heavily on Flatpak to keep the system clean, stable, and immutable.
Many KDE users want an official Flatpak, but also official RPM and DEB packages, so they can choose the format that best fits their distribution and workflow.
GNOME already has an official ProtonVPN application, while KDE has no native or officially supported version.
Impact:
The community Flatpak is functional,…

Prevent On-Screen IP Leaks
A simple toggle to hide the IP address in the app UI is critical for users who share their screens.
As a streamer, opening the Proton VPN app on a live broadcast accidentally exposes my IP address, creating a security risk. The same risk applies to anyone giving a live presentation. The toggle in the settings could solve this by replacing the IP with asterisks.

Please officially support Linux Mint with fully featured Gui app
You can sort of use it on Mint, but lose a lot of features. It's great that you support so many distros, but consider Mint as a leading distro.

Defense Against Traffic Analysis
Implementing an option that makes traffic analysis, done by AI or otherwise, more difficult. Similar to what Mullvad has created with DAITA

Add PIN lock to VPN app
the iOS VPN app can be used to sign in to my account with a QR code. This feature is protected by iPhone Passcode (which is good), but it is not possible to lock down the VPN app itself. This means that anyone who knows the iPhone Passcode can log in to my Proton account and gain access to my emails, my drive, and so on. That is clearly not good. Please add the same option to lock the VPN app that other apps (Mail, Pass, etc.) already have.

[TV App] - Kill Switch
Can we please have a kill switch added to the TV applications, this is asked for over and over I understand it may not be the most pressing item to add but it really is needed, many of the other apps I've tried do have this implemented and one of the points of using a VPN is to mask over our real IP, sadly I've had the TV app disconnect numourus times leading to my real IP being exposed, this happened just yesterday twice and I couldn't understand or find out the issue so a kill switch would ultimately solve…

Partner with another VPN for fully-independent exit hop.
Partner with another credible VPN to create a fully-independent exit hop. This keeps users activity private even from Proton.
Obscura VPN (https://obscura.net/#faq-technical) has already partnered with Mullvad to offer the same thing. If privacy is the goal then this is a no brainer.

Peer-to-Peer Mesh Networking with NAT Traversal
Enables direct peer-to-peer VPN networking, like Tailscale or ZeroTier. This would allow devices on my Proton VPN account to see and connect to each other using private IPs, as if on the same LAN.
This kind of functionality would be very helpful for cloud gaming, remote development, and device syncing, without needing a third-party solution.
Specifically, I’m asking for:
Private IPs for each device on the VPN
Peer-to-peer connectivity with NAT traversal
Optional routing via Proton servers when needed
Thank you for all your amazing work — this feature would make Proton VPN even more powerful.

Android: Proton VPN is functionally worthless for me unless I can turn on kill switch while split tunneling is enabled.
I'll explain the steps I followed on my Android phone:
- I got ProtonVPN, and enabled kill switch to protect myself from data leaks.
- I noticed that certain apps (like my bank app and music app for example) didn't work while Proton VPN was enabled.
- I enabled split tunneling and created exceptions so that apps like my bank app and music app didn't go through the VPN.
- I enabled kill switch, and found out that split tunneling didn't work.
- In order to use my bank app, my music app, or others, I HAD to turn off kill switch. I very very…

Add QUIC Obfuscation for WireGuard
Add QUIC obfuscation for WireGuard to help users bypass firewalls and censorship. This feature was recently added to Mullvad (September 9, 2025) and would be a great solution that would also address other requests for obfuscation on The Voice of the Proton Community.

A browser extension kill switch
Today Proton VPN had a global outage, and I was shocked to see that my firefox browser had disconnected from Proton VPN and was using my real IP connection! I would really like this important security feature added to the browser extension/addon.

Interactive World Map
A new feature that would allow people using Proton VPN on mobile devices and computers to be able to interact directly with the world map by swiping and zooming in order to select the desired location to connect to.
When zoomed out show labels on top of countries with global numbers of servers. For example : I'm zoomed out and I can see United Stated and in the center it's written 150 servers.
When zooming in and as we zoom in the numbers start to appear according to which cities they are located in. For example : I was zoomed…

VPN Pause with Timed ReConnection
From time to time I have to disconnect from the VPN for certain websites. I sometimes forget to turn the VPN back on. I would like to have a Pause button that works on a timed interval. Pause VPN for one hour, for instance. The VPN could alert the user just before the VPN resumes, and would be like your alarm where maybe you can Snooze the timer, or allow it to start back up.
Alternatively, if we can just have an alert when we start the PC if the VPN has been manually disconnected, then I would be notified…

Better VPN Compatibility With Government Services
I think it would be useful if Proton VPN could improve compatibility with government apps and online services. There are situations where users want to keep their VPN enabled while completing important tasks, but some services do not always work smoothly with a VPN connection. For example, people using the eGovPH app for NBI Clearance renewal may need to switch their VPN off during the process, even though they would prefer to keep their connection protected. I came across the renewal process at https://onlinenbiclearance.ph/nbi-clearance-renewal-egovph-app/ while looking into how these services work, and it made me think that better compatibility with…

Linux client - AppImage support
AppImage has a number of advantages that Snap and Flatpak do not have.
Portability.
No dependencies.
Ease of use.
Compatibility with any distribution.
Supporting AppImage would be a significant step for the development of ProtonVPN on Linux. For example, in countries with high levels of censorship, it can be very difficult to download the ProtonVPN client from the internet without being connected to another VPN service. A portable version of ProtonVPN would solve this problem.

Allow incoming connections via IPV6 for P2P servers
ProtonVPN increasingly supports IPV6 for VPN servers! Awesome!
Unfortunately all incoming connections are blocked. This is somewhat sensible from a security perspective in case users don't have a firewall configured, but for P2P makes things impractical.
Currently for P2P enabled VPN endpoints users can use NAT-PMP to automatically map a port for inbound connections over IPV4 to use for their needs. It would be great if this port was also automatically allowed on IPV6 as well, or if there was a setting to disable the firewall that blocks all inbound IPV6 traffic so users can manage access themselves on the…

Support Nix & NixOS by publishing up to date CLI/Headless binaries in a freely available manner
The nixpkgs repository holds the largest amount of packages of any package repository out there. The Nix community is thriving and growing, and even the full government of of the Netherlands seem to be changing from Windows to NixOS now.
Supporting nixpkgs, which by extension, in itself, would amount to a very concrete support for the Nix ecosystem as a whole, this would make a huge difference.

Smart routing
I'm perfectly comfortable using a premium VPN service, and in fact, I took advantage of a Black Friday promotion to purchase an annual plan. I have no issue with paying for a reliable, premium service as long as it provides the features and level of control I need.
My only request is to have the option to choose between connecting to a specific physical VPN location and bypassing the service's smart routing servers. These smart routing servers are essentially presented as virtual locations, but in practice, the actual servers or exit points may be physically located outside the country or…
