1. Exclude networks

   I am surprised that it isn't possible to exclude networks like my mobile provider and my home wifi in order to save battery power.

2. 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.

3. Using Proton client as an endpoint or route through existing device with proton vpn with LAN availability.

   Please add a way to create make the device as an endpoint.
   Similar to NordVPN's meshnet.
   This would be especially helpful to use netflix so it shows up as in the same household.

4. Latency

   You mention gaming as a usecase but don't display latency for servers.
   I've used/am using Proton VPN but since I couldn't know latency without manually testing every server and then logging into the game , I had to get exitlag just for gaming. Please implement at latency information and if possible implement something similar to exitlag so I don't have to have multiple subscriptions.

5. Add an VPN endpoint to the Faroe Islands

   Hi Proton VPN team,

   I’m writing to request the addition of a Faroe Islands server to the Proton VPN network. Many Faroese students studying abroad and are unable to acces content from ect. local tv stations.

   CURRENTLY, NO VPN PROVIDER OFFERS AN ENDPOINT THERE, which limits our ability to participate fully in these programs. Due the Faroe Islands small size, not many other countries cover local events there.

   Adding a Faroe Islands node would not only serve the local population (~50 k residents) but also attract a niche market of international students and researchers interested in Faroese culture.

   Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you.

   Best regards

   A homesick student

6. Integration in GL.iNET firmware

   Hi

   You already integrated Proton VPN into Vivaldi browser (wich is closed source and looks pretty shady). So can you consider integration your VPN into GL.iNET firmware?

   I will be really happy with this. And many GL.iNET customers too.

   You can see that it is required by this links:

7. Option to quickly switch to a different VPN server

   About once a day, I resolve some connectivity issue by connecting to a different VPN server. Doing this is almost the only way I directly interact with ProtonVPN. The process often goes:

   1. Disconnect
   2. Connect
   

   But sometimes, Autoconnect will keep selecting the same server. The process then becomes (Android app):

   1. Disconnect
   2. Connect (recognize same server)
   3. Tap "Countries"
   4. Tap search icon
   5. Type city name
   6. Tap options icon next to city
   7. Tap server of choice
   

   My suggestion: If Autoconnect would disregard servers that I intentionally disconnected from (recently), my experience would be a lot better.

8. Autoconnect when wifi is lost, disconnect on trusted wifi,

   I use a vivo Fold 3, there's no VPN option available. Only from within the proton app.
   Like Surfshark, an auto connect when no WiFi would be so good. And then, auto disconnect when on trusted WiFi, would be a great addition. As my router is always connected through proton VPN, there's 2 vpn's active when I'm home. And always need to manually disconnect the VPN ... In 2025... Please add these features.

9. Please add an option to show current country via mouse-over in the tray

   The topic says it already. Instead of having to open Proton VPN to check which country is active, just hovering over the tray/notification area symbol should give us the info, to which country we are connected.

11. "Pin / Unpin country" feature, will be so helpful!

    VPN UI suggestion:

    🍄

    "Pin / Unpin country" feature, will be so helpful!

    I randomly choose 3~6 countries a day.
    All with randomly server.
    (because search engine try to mess up my search results)

    Country name is list view by name now,
    some countries too far away from top. Scroll long.

    if click countries ➡️ I can "Pin / Unpin country"
    \ or
    if click profile ➡️ I can add "country (with randomly server)"

    😇Always, Love Proton.

12. localhost SOCKS5 tunnel like in Mullvad

    I would like to see this feature from mullvad in Proton VPN: https://mullvad.net/en/help/socks5-proxy

    Coming from Mullvad. This feature is great. I put it in Telegram and if VPN is disabled the application can't access the servers of this "privacy" messenger. It hides TCP Fingerprint, too. Reducing captcha and other garbage detections from antibot systems.

13. 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 regions to bypass censorship or access region-specific data sources.

    Benefits:
    - Fine-grained privacy control tailored to each browsing activity.
    - Seamless multi-regional browsing within a single Firefox session.
    - More purposeful and contextual VPN usage, reducing the need for frequent manual switching.

    This feature would be especially relevant for the Zen browser, which is heavily based on Firefox and emphasizes the use of workspaces (containers). Integrating per-container VPN routing would perfectly complement Zen’s workflow-centric architecture and empower users with even more precise control.

14. 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 United States, increasing latency and worsening the experience.

    This could be added in Settings -> Connection -> Advanced Settings and would help a lot users that want the lowest possible latency while protecting their privacy.

15. 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, bettter VPN services that have this option.
    Keep up the good work and I hope you will fix this very very soon.

17. Dedicated IPv6 Addresses

    IPv6 addresses are practically unlimited, unlike IPv4 addresses. Could we please get the option for free dedicated IPv6 addresses?

    What I'd like to see:
    - Option to use shared (currently available) or dedicated IPv6 address
    - Per Wireguard profile
    - Open incoming ports - let us host a public web server if we want to!

    Bonus:
    - Ability to regenerate the address, e.g. in the Proton VPN desktop app or the web portal for Wireguard configs.
    - DHCP-PD for routers. I don't know if any are supporting it today.

19. Announcement of DNS Filterlists or further Insight into NetShield

    It is hard to decide wether to choose Proton VPN with Netshield or a custom DNS Server to avoid beeing tracked by Android App Trackers and App Analysis Tools. This is because Proton gives little information about what connections are being blocked by NetShield. It would be very very helpful to know which common IPs or Tracking Providers are being blocked. That would prevent Users from having to make decisions by gut feeling. It would also bring more Users who are not as tech savvy as others and who want a whole in one solution. Other DNS Server Providers like dnsforge don't hesitate to share their filterlists. Proton should do the same. At least Proton could name common Providers that are being blocked, e.g. adobe expierience cloud is blocked, google firebase analytics is blocked, google tag manager is blocked yes or no, etc. Thank you.

20. Add disconnect on a timer

    Sometimes you want to turn off the VPN to be able to deal with a site that blocks them, but you want to turn it right back on after. NordVPN has a feature where you can disconnect on a timer, like 5, 10 minutes etc after which is automatically re-connects.
