1. 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.

2. Add profiles to Android TV

   Adding the Profiles option to Android TV would make it easier to access apps that don't work with all servers by adding those that work individually.

3. WireGuard country config files

   If I want to make a config file from the Proton VPN website and choose to use OpenVPN, I have the option to create a config file for Country, Standard server, or Secure Core. Conversely, if I choose WireGuard (which seems to be the strong recommendation in this post: https://protonvpn.com/blog/old-ovpn-configs), I can only pick from Standard server or Secure Core.

   This may be fine for the occasional ad-hoc connection, but is not ideal when creating a config file for a router.

   The Proton VPN website has the option to "Use the best server according to current load and position" when making a config file. That's what it is right now, but obviously will change over time. Relying on the same server may prove problematic if that's the only server configured and it goes down or becomes overloaded (assuming that Proton VPN and/or VPN client software will try another config if the first selected doesn't work).

   Given (plus tier) country configs are already available for OpenVPN, it'd be great to see the same feature available for WireGuard.

4. 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.

5. VPN exclusion/exlude template for the surveillance/14 eyes/5 eyes countries

   On Android, I can exclude selected countries to be used in a Quick connect mode (fastest server). I always wanted to exclude surveillance countries listed at https://protonvpn.com/blog/5-eyes-global-surveillance#14-eyes (more than 22 countries).

   Why not to simplify the task of adding 22+ countries by creating a template "Surveillance countries" which user can tap and confirm the list of countries to be excluded (not connected to)?

6. More language options (Finnish/Swedish)

   Please add the same language options for Proton VPN on iOS/iPadOS, which are already on Proton Email app (29 languages). I wish especially Finnish and Swedish would be added for the VPN app.

   The VPN app for iOS now has 17 different language options.

   Many thanks!

8. Re-ordering of Created VPN Profiles

   I would like the ability to drag/drop and freely change the order of my created VPN profiles so that some profiles appear at the top and are more visible than others.
   I have created more profiles over time and have found that I use some profiles more often than others, but unfortunately I have to remember to scroll down to get to them.
   This would also be nice for organization, like grouping profiles of a similar purpose together.

9. Ability to Blacklist VPN Servers

   The auto-connect profiles often connect me to servers that are nearly unusable (super low speed, high latency, inconsistent and poor quality of connection), so I often end up having to manually reconnect to a different server.

   I would like the ability to blacklist/block certain VPN servers and regions, so that the client does not include it in the auto-connection algorithm.

11. 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.

12. 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,

    Hello Proton team,

14. Create a Qt-based Linux app, or make the GNOME app look better on KDE

    The GNOME-based app doesn't look very good on KDE Plasma. Given how popular Plasma is, it's fair to expect some integration.

16. Auto reconnect to the same server feature after device reboot

    Actually using Proton VPN on an Android TV box where the Proton VPN features are very limited.

    I usually turn off completely (not standby) my device when not using it and when I turn it back on I always find the VPN disconnected. A feature where the VPN would automatically reconnect to the last used server would be much appreciated and make the user experience smooth. Thanks in advance.

18. per app network traffic view like in Windows Task Manager

    The Task Manager in Windows shows a live per app view of network data traffic. When using Proton VPN, all network activity is aggregated and listed as data traffic from Proton VPN.

    It would be nice if you could see the per app usage in the Proton VPN app.

    When the current download or upload traffic is uncommonly high, I would usually check which app is responsible, perhaps you might want to stop the process. Currently, you have to guess what causes the traffic.
