1. Show Hosting Provider Info in Server List

   Please add hosting provider info directly in the ProtonVPN app, displayed alongside the server name (e.g. PL#81 – DataCamp).

   Or even better, add categories for hosting providers, just like cities currently are, so users can quickly find all servers from a specific provider that work best with their ISP.

   For example, my ISP performance varies by provider:
   
   - Excellent with Datacamp Limited (DataPacket)
   - Decent with PV-SL-HOSTED-Warsaw-Network
   - Terrible with M247

   Currently, I have to connect to multiple servers and check my IP info to find a provider that works well, which wastes several minutes and is very annoying.

   Mullvad shows hosting provider info, but only on their website, which isn’t ideal.

   ProtonVPN should make this visible directly in-app.

   This feature would save time, improve usability, and make server selection much clearer.

2. 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:

   1. I got ProtonVPN, and enabled kill switch to protect myself from data leaks.
   2. I noticed that certain apps (like my bank app and music app for example) didn't work while Proton VPN was enabled.
   3. I enabled split tunneling and created exceptions so that apps like my bank app and music app didn't go through the VPN.
   4. I enabled kill switch, and found out that split tunneling didn't work.
   5. In order to use my bank app, my music app, or others, I HAD to turn off kill switch. I very very very much want kill switch to be on. I am in a politically sensitive area. I want my bank app and music app and the others to continue to work while kill switch prevents non-excepted apps' traffic to be FORCED to go through the VPN.
   6. As it is, I have to choose between having kill switch on (meaning I'm unable to use many of my apps which don't work through the VPN) or having kill switch off (meaning that if for some reason Proton VPN isn't working, all of my traffic is going through my actual IP address without VPN protection).

   Well it finally happened. Since for some reason Android doesn't always keep Proton VPN working, sometimes it's off even when I didn't turn it off, and a company noticed that sometimes my traffic goes through VPN and sometimes it doesn't. I got permanently banned from a service I had used for over a decade because of this bug in Proton VPN.

   For paying so much money, this is a feature that should be working. Come on, Proton! You have awesome products! I love them for the most part. But this makes Proton VPN on Android functionally worthless. I have to either have kill switch off, in which case I keep not realizing that Proton VPN isn't working and keep endangering myself; or I can have kill switch on, in which case I just lose the ability to use many apps that won't work through the VPN connection. I have to turn off Proton VPN entirely when using those apps, and in that case I can't use an app requiring a VPN and an app requiring no VPN at the same time.

   I really need this feature if I'm going to consider continuing to use ProtonVPN. Competitor products generally seem to have this feature. I don't want to jump switch, but this is pretty urgent.

   Please, Proton. This isn't just for convenience. For those of us in countries where it's not safe to browse without VPN, we NEED Proton VPN to support kill switch for all VPN-protected apps while split-tunneled apps are allowed to have their direct connections.

   In politically sensitive countries, this literally may be the difference between people being arrested or not.

   (and just to throw this out there, I'm not doing anything that would be considered illegal in democratic countries)

   I'll explain the steps I followed on my Android phone:

   1. I got ProtonVPN, and enabled kill switch to protect myself from data leaks.
   2. I noticed that certain apps (like my bank app and music app for example) didn't work while Proton VPN was enabled.

3. Linux app for arm64 GUI and CLI

   Hello, like many users, I use a low-power ARM64 machine for P2P downloads via Torrent. The problem is that there isn't a Linux ARM64 application yet, which prevents me from setting up the Port Forwarding as explained in the guides, since I have to use it through WireGuard instead of the official app.Is this release planned? Thanks.

5. Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware on GrapheneOS

   On GrapheneOS, the updater runs before first unlock (BFU) to grab security patches, but Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware. Enabling it brings up the VPN UI BFU, yet no network ever connects, so updates fail until you unlock the device.

   Repro:

   Install Proton VPN on GrapheneOS (e.g. Pixel 6 Pro 2025.05.15)

   Turn on kill-switch

   Reboot and stay at lock screen

   Watch the BFU updater time out for lack of network

   Impact:
   Devices miss critical patches until next unlock, extending exposure to exploits.

   Fix:
   • Mark the VPN service as android:directBootAware="true" in AndroidManifest.xml
   • Move its config/certs into Device-Protected Storage for BFU access

7. Submit Linux package updates in official distro repos

   Proton VPN is open source and uses well-known and established components of the NetworkManager stack. Due to these two things, there is virtually nothing standing in the way of the Proton VPN team from building and submitting packages officially to Linux distributions like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, EPEL, etc. Proton VPN is further enhanced by packaging upstream by increasing the availability of Proton VPN software packages in the global software package mirroring network (deterring censorship) and benefiting from improved transparency and openness by building packages through distribution-supported build systems, which are often reproducible.

   The policies of most distros are friendly to this since the Proton VPN Linux pieces use Open Source licenses. A community-supported Fedora Proton packaging SIG already exists.

   Implementing this is both a matter of technical expertise but also being able to navigate and collaborate with other communities. Proton engineers would submit package updates directly to Linux build systems and benefit from being stakeholders in the distribution end of software production. This also gets Proton engineers closer to user feedback and bug reports.

   (Not to be biased, but I get copied on bug reports for Proton VPN bugs in Fedora and I am not always sure how to best route that feedback from distro users back to upstream developers.)

   One idea for the Proton-hosted repos is that they could still be provided, but for beta or experimental users. This way, Proton still maintains a mechanism for shipping updates extremely fast to end users without distro build systems and update policies, but the users who participate with those repos could be closer to the in-development versions, while users subscribed to updates on their favorite distros would receive them normally through stable update repos.

8. IP & Domain Filter / Denylist

   I would like to have the option to block some IPs or domains like X.com to prevent me from using them.
   Simple feature to NetBlock or separate.
   Exactly like Denylist in NextDNS.
   I can't set custom DNS when NetShield is enabled.

11. Add a feature to the Android version of Proton VPN that allows you to choose which apps can access the internet.

    Add a feature to the Android version of Proton VPN that allows you to choose which apps can access the internet. This is different from split tunneling; it would give you the ability to block full internet access for apps that don't need it.
    There are already apps that do this, but they use a VPN themselves and therefore cannot be used with Proton VPN.

12. I2P

    I’d like to propose adding native support for the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) to enhance Proton VPN’s offerings.

    I2P is a decentralized, anonymizing network that enables secure, private communication, complementing Proton’s existing Tor support. Integrating I2P could:

    Appeal to privacy-focused users who use I2P for secure browsing, messaging, or file sharing.
    Position Proton VPN as a leader in supporting multiple anonymity networks.
    Simplify setup for users, as manual I2P configuration with VPNs can be complex.
    Suggested features could include dedicated I2P servers, one-click connectivity (similar to your Tor integration), or optimized settings for I2P traffic (e.g., port forwarding or split tunneling). This would make Proton VPN more versatile and accessible for advanced privacy needs.

15. Auto shutdown when phone put in airplane mode

    I would love for the VPN to automatically stop trying to connect when I place my phone in airplane mode and also have it auto connect when I take my phone out of airplane mode.

    While in airplane mode (with no WiFi services, such as on a flight) the application keeps attempting to connect to a server. This significantly drains my battery, unless I remember to manually disconnect it after toggling airplane mode on.

16. Use Quantum-Resistant Cryptogtaphic Algorithm

    OpenVPN uses TLS for encryption, Quantum Proof Algorithms including the four selected by NIST are provided by liboqs. The library is already present in repositories of many Linux Distros. liboqs is integrated in TLS, means no additional work is required for the client side. This would be very easy to implement in The VPN.

    Much better alternative would be that Proton makes it's own Algorithm. It would be a good way to add it as an optional feature in the initial stages for testing.

17. Automatic MTU negotation

    For protonvpn with wireguard, I need to manually adjust the MTU down due to using a 5g hotspot wifi solution. It would be really nice if the app could automatically negotiate the optimal MTU when setting up, I imagine by just pinging the VPN bastion server with different packet sizes (once authenticated) and adjusting from there.

    Otherwise it would be nice if the app would at least allow you to override the MTU for different underlying networks.

19. Low Profile VPN Servers/IPs

    Almost all Proton IPs are polluted with bad reputation due to various malicious acts made through its VPN. This is really really annoying for good users.

    I think a large percentage of malicious acts made on Proton VPN servers are done via new accounts that are pretty quickly banned by Proton and by victims- but it still leaves a bad trace on the history of that ip.

    I propose a solution that could at least reduce ip pollution for quite a few users- what if we had few servers (or ips) that you only get access to after a year of subscription- by then if you were to act bad you’ll already be banned.

    it is not the best solution but at least its something
