Show server latency
without knowing if I'll get good latency makes people hesitant to subscribe for premium plans. Let people browse the servers and see the latency they get even if it's locked out for free users.

Split tunnel networks
In the split-tunnel section. Allow additional networks to be added to the list of excluded apps. this would prevent local network access from breaking for users who have more than 1 vlan/network that they need access to.

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.10 votes -
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…

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…

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.

Make python dependencies exsist in venv
Lock down the environment and avoid dependency issues by using venv for python dependencies, or let the users install these using UV add to a contained python project. using system dependencies for python is a rough way to go it seems.

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.

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)

Android TV Updater
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.

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…

Lost Bitcoin to a Scam? Contact SAGITTARIUS CYPHER CYBER INTELLIGENCE
My experience with SAGITTARIUS CYPHER CYBER INTELLIGENCE has shown me the importance of professional guidance, clear communication, and evidence-based investigation when dealing with cryptocurrency scams and online financial fraud.
Their focus on blockchain transaction analysis, digital evidence, and investigative support provides a helpful starting point for understanding suspicious transactions and exploring possible next steps.
What stands out is the importance of transparency, professionalism, and realistic expectations throughout the investigative process.
I would encourage anyone affected by cryptocurrency fraud to preserve their evidence, report the incident to the appropriate authorities, and carefully assess their options before engaging any recovery service.

I like the Proton VPN split tunneling 'include mode' to allow the whitelisting of URL's not just apps a
I would like to see Proton VPN split tunneling allow the whitelisting of URL's in the 'include mode', right now it only allows to whitelist or allow apps and IP's.

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 API Proxy Support
In restricted networks, users may be unable to reach Proton VPN API servers, preventing them from retrieving server lists and connecting to any VPN server.
Suggestion: Allow users to configure a custom HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy specifically for API access. This would enable the client to obtain server information even when Proton's API endpoints are blocked, improving connectivity and usability in restricted environments.1 vote -
Improving Online Privacy for International Travellers
International travel often requires people to connect to public Wi-Fi networks at airports, hotels, shopping centres, and other public places. This is especially common for people travelling abroad for religious trips, holidays, or business.
I think Proton VPN could make the travelling experience even better by introducing a dedicated Travel Mode.
Some useful features could include:
Automatic VPN connection when joining public Wi-Fi.
Notifications when connecting to unsecured networks.
Easy access to trusted server locations.
Improved connection stability when travelling between countries.
Simple privacy settings for users who are not very technical.
These improvements would help international travellers protect their…

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.
