1. Device status indicator (how many out of 10 are in use)

   Its annoying that their is no overview of how many devices your using out of the 10 allowed.
   Also, it would be nice to be able to name your devices if this feature is added.

2. Proton VPN: Add regional DNS resolvers to reduce latency outside Europe

   Many Proton VPN users outside of Europe (e.g. in Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia, and South America) experience slow DNS resolution when using Proton DNS via VPN — especially on mobile apps like Proton Mail, which rely on many secure subdomains.

   Currently, Proton DNS resolvers appear to be hosted in Switzerland (or nearby), which introduces noticeable latency for users on the other side of the globe — even when connected to local VPN servers like Melbourne or Sydney.

   Suggestion: Deploy regional Proton DNS resolvers or mirrors in long-latency zones like:

   Australia (Melbourne, Sydney)
   
   South America (e.g. São Paulo)
   
   SE Asia (e.g. Singapore)
   
   North America West Coast
   

   These resolvers could be:

   Accessible only from Proton VPN IP ranges (to maintain privacy)
   
   Operated under Proton’s strict no-logs policy
   
   Geo-routed from VPN exit nodes to minimize DNS latency
   

   This would significantly improve real-world performance for Proton VPN users, particularly for those accessing services like Proton Mail, where even 150–200ms of DNS delay adds up.

   Thanks for considering this — the service is fantastic, and this would make it even better globally.

3. BPay for ProtonVPN subscription payments.

   So far as I can see, it's not possible to pay for a new or existing ProtonVPN subscription via BPay. This is somewhat limiting/inconvenient for those of us who don't shop online, have credit cards, or otherwise prefer to have as few bank cards/accounts as we can reasonably get away with. BPay offers a secure and convenient means to pay for services without needing a seperate card that, in some cases, will never be used for anything but those payments (ranging from once a month to once every two years).

   To my knowledge, there are no disadvantages nor other reasons not to have this service as a payment option, and having more flexible payment options means more accessibility for prospective buyers.

5. Ability to see current load of selected servers - web interface or API

   I use the router config exclusively.

   Need a quick way other than visiting the web dashboard and drilling down to find current load of any given server... it's cumbersome to visit the web page, click through the menu, scroll down to country, expand the list, then open browser search to find the server you're looking for.

   An API would be awesome. With an API in place, clients could be built for various platforms (windows, mac, ios, browser extension, etc.)

   Then when server loads goes nuts I can quickly switch (via my router app) to another server I have already configured.

6. VPN per site

   It would be nice to add a feature to browser extension that would allow to set up different VPN countries (or lack of VPN) per site. This is (or at least was) possible in Zenmate.

8. Automatic login on the ProtonVPN Linux client

   Currently, the ProntonVPN Linux client requires manual login each time. This is really tedious, particularly if the password is very complex. It would be much better if it were possible to log in automatically. This, in particular, is a requirement for automatically starting the VPN client after each reboot.

9. Tailscale exit nodes

   I would love to be able to use Proton VPN as exit nodes on Tailscale.

   They recently announced support for Mullvad exit nodes, and I'm sure they would be interested in adding more options:

10. Proton VPN for Windows - reconnecting

    When a Windows 11 PC sleeps/hibernates the VPN client does not reconnect and "spins". You have to fully close out of the VPN app, relaunch and then reconnect.

11. Ugly Green. Offer additional VPN app theme color choices.

    The new redesign is great, except for the ugly grandma kitchen green theme. Also, why is the best look you could come up with is some fading fog of war looking filter as if it's a video game from 1997?

    If you're going to stick with the fog of war look, then at least allow us to choose the colors.

    I'm cool with all of the other green, it's just that fog look you got. It's really the only theme color that dominates the entire space. I'd much rather that filter be disabled, but if you won't let us disable it then at least let us change the color.

12. Game Server Proximity Connection

    This feature could enhance the gaming experience for VPN users. Upon initiating a gaming session, the VPN would identify the location of the game server to which the user is connected. The VPN would then select and connect to its own server that is geographically closest, or lowest ping to the game server. This process ensures optimal latency and performance by minimizing the distance data has to travel between the VPN server and the game server, potentially providing a better gaming experience.

    Functionality:

    1.  Initial Connection: When a user starts a game, the VPN detects the connection to the game server.
    2.  Server Analysis: The VPN identifies the physical location of the game server.
    3.  Optimal Server Selection: The VPN then scans its network to find the server closest to the game server’s location.
    4.  Seamless Re-routing: The VPN automatically switches the user’s connection to this optimally located server.
    

    This approach could improve gaming performance for VPN users, particularly in multiplayer online games where latency is a critical factor.

13. Script managing WireGuard ProtonVPN for Linux using CLI only

    I've put together a POSIX shell script allowing you to use ProtonVPN in Linux using only the native wireguard and Linux core utils having the script managing all aspects of the network such as routing and which DNS server to use when the VPN is up or not.

    It works very well for me so I brushed it up with more thorough error handling, documentation and examples in case more people have an interest in it.

    Basically it allows you to generate any number of protonvpn-wg-configurations you like and put them in your /etc/wireguard folder, the script selects up one of them based on certain criterias you decide (it can for example automatically determine the peer with lowest latency to you) and brings up the VPN fixing DNS (if you wish) and routing, cleaning everything up when the VPN is brought down.

    I've written it with network managers in mind and am using it with ifupdown in Debian.

    I've put it github for download:

    https://github.com/fraxflax/proton-wg

    Feel free to use, modify and distribute as you like.

    Proton is welcome to put it on their pages if they like.

16. Allow Users to Choose VPN Protocols on AppleTV App

    Currently there is no way to pick VPN protocols within the AppleTV app, this causes problems when certain networks such as hotels block common VPN protocol traffic like WireGuard and OpenVPN. Stealth mode would be ideal in the circumstance, but currently only the fastest option is supported.

17. All VPN servers on a global network (a similar feature to Surfshark Nexus)

    Currently on Surfshark they have options such as RotatingIP (without any disconnections) thanks to Nexus. This is their name for having all of their VPN severs connected on a global network. This also can change the users server incase of over crowding without any loss of service. (For more info on what it does you can google Surfshark Nexus). Would be nice for a similar feature on Proton.

19. One connection per app (Automatic connect if specific app opened)

    I would like to have the option to have multiple vpn connections open at the same time, but only used for specific apps. I would like to use e.g. Switzerland by default but for netflix use every time US etc. So ideally the vpn client notices that I open netflix and connects for this app exclusively to US.

20. Add proxy on to change country to certain location in the world

    I run a company in another country, and the VPN alone isn't sufficient. If you could set up a proxy to make the devices appear as if they're in a different location, it would greatly help, especially for any government-related work on our website that requires specific location settings and options to be enabled.
