Proton VPN firewall, post quantistic and other improvements
- the possibility to link proton profiles to the account, so when I use the vpn on different devices I can find my own profiles
- the possibility to change the server with a dedicated button which will follow the current VPN settings (same type, protocol, country, and so on) just using a different server
- the integration (for mobile Android) of a firewall which can block internet connection for selected apps from user. This would be really really useful to block internet connection to app that doesn't need it (clock, calculator, file manager, and so on). In the market place there are…

allow port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn
Please consider allowing port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn. I am unable to find any documentation on whether this is currently possible or not. I have an openwrt router using a wireguard vpn. I am happy with it, but it would be better if I could forward a port into my home network to allow plex access from outside the house.
Cheers!

Android TV Kill Switch
Hi,
I am a paying user of the Proton Unlimited pachage and I am very happy with Protons VPN. However, I use an androidbox on my tv and I am missing a killswitch!
Please add this as soon as possible because this is a real deal braker for me and I will probably switch back to Nord VPN if this is not fixed in the near future. I dont get why such an importand setting is not implemented in the android version of your VPN! I read many complaints about this issue on Reddit and people are looking at other,…12 votes -
Per-Container VPN Routing in Firefox/Zen
Enable Proton VPN to define VPN routes not only globally across Firefox—as currently supported—but also on a per-container basis, similar to Mozilla VPN’s behavior. This enhancement would significantly increase flexibility and privacy for containerized browsing workflows.
Use Case Examples:
- Personal Container: Connect through the user’s home country to access domestic services such as banking or local news.
- Language Learning Container: Route traffic via a foreign country to immerse in content and media in the target language.
- Work Container: Use a dedicated VPN route optimized for workplace access or remote server geolocation.
- Research Container: Connect via specialized…6 votes -

Suggestion: Temporary VPN Connection for Login Assistance
Dear Proton VPN Team,
I am a user from mainland China. When trying to log in to the Proton VPN desktop client, the login process often fails due to local network restrictions. This makes it difficult for users in regions with strict internet controls to access the service, even if they already have valid accounts.
I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows the client to temporarily enable a lightweight VPN connection (or use a fallback method) during the login process. This would help users bypass local blocks and successfully authenticate, after which the normal VPN connection could…

auto reconnect to same profile in a interval basis
I would like that Proton VPN reconnect to the same profile (but different server) in a interval basis, as I feel that after some hours the server gets overloaded and my connection very slow, I get myself needing to manually stop/start the connection to get to a different server. this process could be automated

VPN Network Automation
PIA has a feature where the iOS app, and presumably its other apps, detect whether you’re connected using a cellular network or any number of known or unknown/public WiFi networks …. And you can set the app to take specific automated actions when it detects a change in network connection:
-always maintain current VPN connection status
-always connect to VPN
-always disconnect from VPN
etc.Used in conjunction with the kill switch, you could… set your phone to disconnect from the vpn upon detecting connection through your home network but always enable the on-device vpn client when it detects you’ve…

Real-Time VPN Connection Security and Data Privacy Verification
It would be useful if ProtonVPN could indicate in real time whether the VPN connection is truly active or has been disconnected.
It is important that any data traffic generated during the connection (such as DNS queries, IP addresses, and visited websites) is genuinely not logged or is securely deleted in real time.
It would be helpful if all of this could be verifiably confirmed in real time, so that users can be confident about their data security.

Access to DirecTV streaming
While connecting to a US server, it would be a nice addition to have access to the DirecTV streaming service.
As of now, there's no way to use it for that streaming service.

Proton as an Internet Service Provider
Obviously this is a pie-in-the-sky idea, but with all of the features provided by Proton, it seems that creating an ISP seems like a reasonable (if not far off) step. Of course access would vary by country as Proton would build ISP infrastructure, and I'm not sure if this has any particular benefits vs using a VPN, but just an idea.

Name IP addresses specified for split tunneling
It would be helpful to be able to name or tag IP addresses that are added to the split tunneling list. Names would help users avoid deleting an address by accident, and easily review the sites that have already been specified.

Provide warnings for recent legislature changes in selected country
Proton should provide a warning note against countries that have made recent legal changes that impact the internet. This could include things like the UK's Online Safety Act causing websites to behave differently or more serious legislation that allows the government to track or control internet access.
The goal of this feature would be to warn Proton VPN users about impending or recently implemented law changes for their awareness and safety online.

Notification if not connected
User sets the time to get notified if they're disconnected for longer than x period.
For users on iOS/android who may temporarily switch off the VPN and forget to toggle it back on, it would be great to have a notification based on a users preference (if not connected for x minutes, notify the user to say they're not connected)

Toggle option to exclude Smart Routing servers in settings
For all ProtonVPN clients, there should be a toggle option in Settings that allows you to exclude Smart Routing servers from your connection. Something like:
"Exclude Smart Routing servers (use only servers physically located in your selected country)"
When you set up your Default Connection to be in your own country, you may be connected to Smart Routing servers which are physically located in another one and therefore will have worse latency.
For example:
A user in Argentina sets their Default Connection to "Argentina" for minimal latency. Without excluding Smart Routing servers, they might connect to a server physically in…

Feature request: Add forwarded port API method
Problem: There is no officially support method for a torrent client to obtain the currently active forwarded port from Proton VPN.
Current practices: The only way I've found to determine the port is to scrape the VPN client log. This is not officially supported and thus brittle, not to mention inefficient.
Proposed solution: Add a lightweight REST listener in the client to respond to API requests. Including forwarded port status, so that a local client can determine if the VPN is currently active, if port forwarding is enabled, and what the current port is. A unified cross-platform client API would…
