1. [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 any issue of disconnection without any notice.

   Thank you.

2. Feature request – Smarter Wi-Fi-based auto-connect rules on iOS

   Hello Proton team,

   First of all, thank you for Proton VPN and the whole Proton ecosystem. I’m a paying user and I really appreciate your focus on privacy and on open, well-documented security.

   I’m writing to request a feature that I believe matches a very common and “natural” use case for VPNs on mobile phones, especially on iOS.

   Current situation

   On iOS, we can use auto-connect and some Shortcuts automations, but there is no simple way to express the following behaviour:

   Automatically connect Proton VPN on any Wi-Fi network, except for a few trusted ones (for example my home Wi-Fi).

   Automatically disconnect Proton VPN when the device is no longer connected to Wi-Fi (i.e. when switching to cellular data).

   With the current options, we can approximate this behaviour using iOS Shortcuts, location-based automations, and manual workarounds, but it is fragile, complex to set up, and far from user-friendly.

   Requested feature

   It would be extremely useful to have, directly inside the Proton VPN app (or account settings), something like:

   A list of “Trusted Wi-Fi networks” (by SSID), for which:

   Option: Never auto-connect VPN on these networks

   Option: Automatically disconnect VPN when connecting to these networks

   A global rule such as:

   “Auto-connect Proton VPN on any Wi-Fi network that is not in the Trusted list.”

   “When not connected to Wi-Fi (cellular only), automatically disconnect Proton VPN (optional toggle).”

   This would perfectly match a very common pattern on mobile:

   At home (trusted Wi-Fi) → no VPN needed.

   On any other Wi-Fi (work, café, hotel, public hotspot) → VPN should automatically protect the connection.

   On cellular data → user can choose whether the VPN should remain on, but many people would prefer to turn it off automatically to save battery and data.

   Why this matters

   This behaviour feels like a “default” expectation for many privacy-conscious users on smartphones. Right now, implementing it requires:

   A good understanding of iOS Shortcuts / automation;

   Several separate automations (per location, per network, etc.);

   And even then, it still doesn’t handle “Wi-Fi disconnect” events cleanly.

   If Proton VPN could offer this directly as a first-class feature (especially on iOS, where system-level triggers are limited), it would greatly simplify the life of many users and make Proton VPN feel even more “smart” and integrated in everyday usage.

   Thank you very much for considering this request, and for all the work you already do to offer privacy-respecting tools. If you need more details or real-world usage examples, I’d be glad to provide them.

   Best regards,

3. macOS: support "Access devices by name" (mDNS/Bonjour) for LAN connections, like Windows already has

   The Windows app has "Access devices by name" (Settings → Connection → Advanced → Allow LAN connections), which resolves local hostnames via mDNS/Bonjour while connected. The macOS app has no equivalent - "Allow LAN connections" only permits unicast IP traffic to the same subnet, not multicast/mDNS, so hostname resolution to LAN devices fails while connected.

   Workaround is using the device's IP address instead of its hostname, which works but is a real papercut for anyone routinely accessing local devices (NAS, RDP targets, printers) by name while on VPN.

   Requesting macOS parity with the Windows "Access devices by name" feature. Confirmed with Proton support (ticket #5116245) that this is a known gap with no timeline.

4. Proton VPN ZTNA, and Bandwidth sharing

   I'd love a native Proton app/feature for outbound connections from my home router, with four independent options I can turn on or off separately:

   Access my own network – securely reach my home devices (NAS, cameras, etc.) from anywhere, without opening any inbound ports on my router/firewall.

   Share my bandwidth – let my home connection help Proton's network (extra exit capacity), fully opt-in.

   Hairpin my mobile traffic through home – route my phone's traffic back through my home internet connection when I'm out, so it looks like I'm browsing from home.

   VPN out specific LAN devices – pick one or more devices on my home network and route just their traffic out through Proton, without affecting the rest of the network.

   Each option should work on its own — I might want just #1 and #3, or just #4, without needing the others active. Since Proton already has the WireGuard backend and account system, this feels like a natural feature to build rather than a new product.

5. On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites.

   On the browser extension make it so that you can do a VPN for only certain sites. For example, I have a domain that is blocked by my ISP even though 1) I own it 2) It is safe (it is blocked because it is one of those free domains - .qzz.io) and I would like it so that whenever I go onto that domain then Proton VPN works on that domain only not all of my tabs since some domains need localisation (eg. my server that only works in the UK).

8. Add Quick Share Support to Split Tunneling

   Split tunneling does not allow adding or excluding Android Quick Share. Quick Share is a key Android system feature for transferring files between the phone(s) and a laptop. Since it is a system app, Proton VPN does not provide a way to exclude it from VPN filtering or add specific rules for it.

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Enable Proton VPN on Android.
   2. Open Split Tunneling settings.
   3. Try to add or exclude Quick Share.
   4. Attempt to transfer files to a laptop using Quick Share.

   Expected behavior:
   Quick Share should be available in Split Tunneling settings, or there should be a way to create rules for it so file transfers can work while VPN is enabled.

   Actual behavior:
   Quick Share cannot be added or excluded because it is treated as a system app. File transfer requires disabling the VPN every time.

   Impact:
   This is critical because users must turn off VPN whenever they need to transfer files using Quick Share.

11. Request for an "App-Specific Block Log" feature

    Suddenly, my smartphone's temperature rose to 43°C, and ProtonVPN's battery usage reached 38%. Upon checking, I found that while connected to the fastest server, NetShield had blocked 200 trackers in just 30 minutes.
    After switching to SecureCore, the number of trackers was cut in half, and the temperature dropped to 24°C.
    ProtonVPN used the most power, while Brave Nightly used the most data. This doesn’t tell us who the culprit is.
    Just as I turned NetShield off, a "ClearNote consent pop-up" appeared. Although the Google Play Store stated that no data would be shared with third parties and that no data would be collected, it suddenly asked me to consent to the use of my data.
    There were too many detailed terms and conditions, and there wasn’t a simple “Disagree” button. I couldn’t go back or close the app, so I had to turn off the power to resolve the issue.
    I enabled NetShield in SecureCore and began migrating and deleting ClearNote data. Then I uninstalled it. During this process, which took about an hour, it blocked 900 trackers. After uninstallation, the number of blocked trackers dropped to about 50 per hour.
    I would like to keep NETShield enabled at all times, but in situations like this one—where “you can’t identify the culprit unless you turn it off”—the security risk is too high, so it should generally remain enabled. That’s why I’d like it to display a list of blocked trackers, just like Brave does.

15. Show basic stats in iOS ProtonVPN App and use Stats to connect to optimal server

    I wish the iOS could show some basic stats such as: ping time, data upload in past hour/day, data download in past hour/day, max up/down speeds over different time windows.
    Next step would be to use the ping data or max speeds to make connection choices - like to reconnect to another server in that country (or a set of countries) based on lowest ping or highest speed server.
    At the moment it feels like some of the WiFi networks I connect to might be traffic shaping and I wish ProtonVPN would seek out and reconnect to better servers when performance is poor.

17. Detect when a server has high latency or slow speed and automatically change servers

    Sometimes my connection speed seems to become very slow. I often disconnect and reconnect to re-establish a decent connection speed. It would useful if profiles allowed for an option to automatically change servers when high latency or slow speed is detected.

    The option could select to reconnect to the best server in the same country or region or globally - based on a function of latency and speed.

18. Auto switch server in the same country when current server usage is too high

    Sometimes, when i'm connected to the VPN, the server i'm currently connected on gets a high load and my connection starts to slow down.
    So it would be nice to have an optional setting that could automatically switch to server with less load in the same country you were connected in in order to make the connection fast again.
    Also maybe make users be able to choose what load percentage they consider as high load, and also be able to control this setting for different profiles.

20. Dedicated IPs , Rotating IPs , Double VPN Costumized

    Dedicated IPs in major countries like the USA, Europe, Japan — something like NordVPN and Surfshark do, where we purchase dedicated IPs and choose the countries. However, it would be nice to include some shared dedicated IPs in the paid plan, with an additional fee option to have your own Proton IP in a country of your choice — Nord and Surfshark offer this.

    Double VPN like Surfshark does — you choose both countries, the entry and exit points. It's not meant to eliminate or improve Secure Core, but rather for a customized Double VPN experience.

    Rotating IPs — another feature from Surfshark where IPs change but the connection remains the same, without dropping, without changing countries, making tracking even more difficult.

    More secure physical servers — if it's physical, it should be secure. Virtual servers are far away, speed drops and latency explodes. Perhaps RAM-based servers could guarantee more security on physical servers.
