Proton curated NetShield allowlist for privacy-respecting services
Instead of implementing per-user domain whitelists across all VPN apps, Proton could maintain a curated allowlist of privacy-respecting domains (like www.startpage.com) that are exempt from NetShield ad blocking.
This could be either:
enabled by default, or
offered as a single opt-in toggle.Pros: Simple implementation (DNS-side only), consistent across all platforms, supports privacy-friendly business models.
Cons: Requires Proton to curate and maintain the list and some users may disagree with inclusion criteria or prefer maximum blocking without exceptions.

Detect DNS leak and warn ProtonVPN users
An encrypted DNS (Called DoH - DNS over https) is said by you (in the later linked article) to "prevents our software from being able to see the DNS queries. This makes it very hard to block or reroute them."
causing DNS leak, which can be considered a serious privacy compromise IMO.
https://www.dnsleaktest.com
https://ipleak.netIt seems to be too severe not to warn user about it in case it is doable from the side of your application. I guess your app tries to read the DNS request and if is encrypted, it fails and can do some action, like displaying…

PLEASE make VPN available for older OS again.
We got a great older MAC with OS 12 that can't upgrade anymore now has no more VPN even though we pay for it.7 votes -

ProtonVPN CLI on Boot (systemd)
Launching ProtonVPN on Boot
Linux users often uses a dedicated machine to store local services.
It is very important for us to have the ability to enable VPN and Killswitch feature before connecting to Internet.Actually, It is possible to configure a systemd service using Wireguard config or OpenVPN config but no KillSwitch feature is ready "out of the box", but It would be very nice to have an OpenVPN CLI that can be used on systemd.

kill switch on the browser extensions
There should be a kill switch function on the browser extension (in my case its Firefox). NordVPN and other competitors have this ability. It's the only thing preventing me from buying a full subscription.
It's especially important on MacOS where Proton themselves recommend to use browser extensions instead of the desktop app for split tunnelling due to Apple's webkit based apps messing with it. ( https://protonvpn.com/support/protonvpn-split-tunneling#macos )

could we perhaps get a client without systemd on linux?
Pretty please? I just want to connect from my systemd-less distros and I will need to just switch to another VPN if I am unable to do that for well, obvious reasons.

Preventing Fake AI influencers across multiple platforms
With the rise of AI , fake influencers are targeting the market. Most of these "experts" or "real life stories" dont exist. If proton had an option to filter or block AI vs real products it would be great. I know this wouldn't be an easy task, but with so many being targeted by AI , Proton could provide security from what is real vs generated.

ProtonVPN for OpenSUSE
Flatpak sand-boxing makes a fully functioning VPN client difficult. While I still think it's a good option to push the VPN client to more Linux distros, if that isn't an option, I'd like to see an OpenSUSE supported VPN client.

Secure Core Custon
Would it be interesting to choose a server from the country of origin or a normal server (in the country of origin) or smart routing (outside the country of origin), as the latency and speed would help solve the problem.

More protocols
Hi
Please add more open censorship circumventing protocols..
Like AmnesiaWG and X-Ray
This is extremely important to bypass hard blocks. And also it will allow to set them up on rare systems (like OpenWRT routers, Raspbian, DD-WRT etc)

ssh tunnels
Ssh tunnels to allow a public ip and port to inbound to a lan device. Not a full vpn. Limited to a single port.
Some providers block all inbound traffic that is unsolicited, on their network. Both ipv6 and ipv4. This also breaks ipv6. But, instead of using a full wireguard client which is much lighter than the extremely heavy protonvpn client, nevertheless it causes bsod. I would like to be able to simply use something like putty to get an inbound port opened to a local lan device. It does not have to be a fixed port number or…

Implement Rolling/Tiered Server Maintenance to Avoid Complete Country-Wide Outages
During routine maintenance cycles, I've noticed that all servers within a given country are occasionally taken offline simultaneously — occurring roughly every 2–3 months.
This forces users to reroute through servers in neighboring countries, which often serve different regional content, languages, and geo-restricted services. The result is a noticeably degraded browsing experience that undermines the core value of a VPN.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a rolling or tiered maintenance schedule that keeps a minimum percentage of servers online at all times within each country cluster. For example:- Tier 1 (Active): A baseline set of servers remains fully operational during any maintenance…

Add ProtonVPN to the macOS App Store
I'd like the ProtonVPN app to be available on the macOS App Store. The app store enforces the App Sandbox and handles autoupdates for all my apps, so it's very convenient for me. ProtonVPN is already available on iOS so the macOS version shouldn't be too difficult.

Please look to include a built in updater, it’s madness that one has to go to the google play store to update it especially when wanting to de google.

tunnel
Full Split Tunneling Support Across All DevicesWhile I love Proton VPN, I would heavily rely on having a dedicated Split Tunneling / Custom Tunnel option fully available on all operating systems. Being able to choose exactly which apps or IP addresses route through the secure tunnel—and which ones bypass it—is a game-changer for balancing security with local network speeds.Having one ultimate account to unlock everything, paired with total control over my network tunnels, would make Proton the undeniable, all-in-one ecosystem for power users.Thank you for listening to community feedback, and keep up the spectacular work!Best regards,

Add configurable notification display modes
Add an option to customize how notification popups are displayed. Currently, notification text can be too long and wraps to a second line, making the compact notification window less convenient.
The app should allow users to choose between two notification modes:
Compact mode: shows only the most important information selected by the user, such as download and upload speed, without extra details like total downloaded or uploaded data.
Full mode: shows the complete notification with all available information, similar to the current display.
This would make notifications more flexible and easier to read depending on the user's needs.
Proton notification: …
