1. Import/Export configuration

   As time goes by and new profiles, split tunnelings... are being added, if I have to change my mobile/desktop/laptop or I buy a new device, I will have to check everything in order to replicate the configuration in the device, and apply the configuration manually. Or even worse: if one of the devices dies, I will lose the configuration.
   Hence, it would be good to have the option to export & import configuration files.

4. iOS Dynamic Island VPN Indicator

   On the iPhone Dynamic Island at the top of the screen, it would be useful for proton vpn to utilize this space that Apple allows devs to use for indicators such as showing that the vpn status if connected or not.

   Currently you have to swipe down to see if the vpn is active or if you go into the app to check.

   Other apps including other vpns use this Dynamic Island as an indicator for a quick glance/stuatus.

5. Overcome web site blocking via Google ReCaptcha to identify and block Proton VPN

   Most sites are now embedding the Google ReCaptcha technology that identifies and blocks silently all Proton VPN servers! This forces the VPN user to add subscription to residential servers (over Proton VPN) to overcome the ReCaptcha blocking. Or to drop completely the vpn!

6. Kill Switch option in Profiles

   Hi ProtonVPN team,

   I’d love to see an option added to the profile creation process that lets users set up Kill Switch preferences right from the start. Specifically, it would be great to choose whether the Kill Switch is enabled or disabled for that profile, and also select between the standard and advanced modes.

   This would give users more control over how each profile behaves based on their needs. For example, someone might want a profile with the advanced Kill Switch enabled for maximum protection, and another with it off for more flexibility.

   Thanks for your time and for continuously improving ProtonVPN!

8. Enable custom VPN profiles & seamless multi‑VPN switching on Android (shared kill‑switch)

   Android only permits one active VPN at a time, which forces me to disconnect Proton VPN whenever I need to use my work OpenVPN or my home WireGuard tunnel. Because the kill‑switch is tied to the active tunnel, I lose protection during each switch.

   What I’d like:

   • Import custom VPN configs (.ovpn / WireGuard .conf) directly in the Proton VPN app and save them as separate profiles.
   • Profile orchestration: let the app switch between Proton, work, and home VPNs without manually closing the current tunnel first.
   • Smart kill‑switch: keep the kill‑switch engaged during the transition, blocking traffic until the newly selected tunnel is fully up.

   Why it matters:

   Allows professionals who need multiple VPNs (corporate, personal, Proton) to stay protected continuously. Provides a unified experience instead of juggling several apps or scripts. Improves security and convenience for Plus/Visionary users who already pay for advanced features.

   Thanks for considering this enhancement!

9. Show server load before selecting secure core for each country feature, new version had removed this feature

   The new version 4.1.13 did not display the server load before selecting. It is slow and troublesome to connect and found that the country server load is high and I have to switch to another country one by one to find out low server load country and this method is very inefficient and resulting proton and users unnecessary servers connecting and disconnecting. Hopefully this pre-display server load feature before secure core connection can be reinstated back into the new version.

11. Support More flexible VPN lite package

    I'm hoping for a Proton VPN Lite plans with a data limit of 3-5TB per month (priced between $4.99-$5.99 per month). The very unstable speeds and high latency at $9.99 per month are really daunting, and compared to other competing VPN products, I think it have no pricing advantage. I hope your teams'll consider it!

12. Allow a config file or something similar for use during automated installs during Windows Sandbox spinup.

    Lots of folks use the Included Sandbox with the Windows Pro versions of 10 & 11. They allow scripts to be run to install apps, like Firefox and VPN's among many others during the OS spinup process.
    
    Allowing the .launcher to have the login and password included would be a great feature or maybe a way to drop a file somewhere that had my configuration info in a place to have your launcher pre-populate those fields for launching the vpn app would be extremely helpful. Having to open my PW manager and copy and paste both the username and password each time I spin the sandbox up makes me no always use the VPN. (paid copy) I like using Proton but if some other vendor implements that feature I would have to switch.

13. Disassociation of Identity From Activity ('Trustless' Connection)

    Taking a page from Apple's iCloud Private Relay and TOR's onion network, I wish to suggest that Proton partner with another trustworthy provider (such as Mullvad or IVPN) to use their servers as 'exit nodes' in an implementation that would separate activity from identity. This would, of course, be for the benefit of reducing demanded trust in Proton (or their partner), and the 'no logs' promise, ensuring greater privacy by design and not just by policy and practice.

    This isn't Secure Core.

    I figure it's important to clarify how this differs from Secure Core, which is already a 'multi-hop' connection. Secure Core uses Proton's own tech, end-to-end. This means Proton still knows or has access to both your identity and your activity. My suggestion would mean Proton only knows your identity, but not your activity. Ultimately, my suggestion aims to tackle a different threat from that of Secure Core (which aims to protect against compromised servers).

    Why this matters.

    Proton's trustworthy. At least, I find it to be sufficiently trustworthy for me to use their services. But Proton Mail isn't good because Proton promises not to read your emails (alright, that too), Proton Mail is good because Proton cannot read your emails. This suggestion advocates for a similar approach to Proton VPN (in that it cannot read your activity with this option enabled).

    If you like my suggestion please vote for it, share it on social media, and get more people to vote for it. This is likely the only way it'll receive attention from Proton. Also, feel free to let me know what you think of this suggestion. I'd like to see more thoughts and opinions on this.

14. Ability to re-arrange pinned (favorite) servers

    The list of favorites is static at the moment. It would take great effort to re-arrange the list into the desired order, having to remove items, and add them in a planfull matter.

    Therefore it would be very handy, if dragging the list items around would be possible. Thanks!

15. Extend LAN network through VPN

    Add a feature that allows a desktop (or a home server) to be used as an endpoint for VPN connection, allowing the user to use the internet like they are in its local network. Useful to connect to LAN devices safely without exposing them to the Web and for limited services like Netflix that blocks users from other places to connect to the same account.

16. Manual Wireguard Peer Configuration

    At the moment, have to use a provided secret key for Wireguard. This poses a security issue if you are wanting to use Proton VPN with an existing Wireguard interface.

    I have some self-hosted apps running on a VPN protected by Wireguard. If I want to be able to connect to ProtonVPN and my self-hosted apps using the same Wireguard interface, I'd need to use a private key generated by Proton to access both on the same interface. This is both a hassle as I'd have to update all my configs for this key, and also a security risk as that key could be used to pose as one of my devices to connect to my self-hosted services.

    If we could instead provide our own public key when configuring our devices, rather than using the provided private key, that would avoid the security issue.

    If we could also customize the peer IP address (though I understand that may be less feasible) that would avoid the issue of having to change all of my configurations.

17. Browser extensions remember recent servers / cities

    It would be nice if the browser extensions remembered a few of your most recently used servers / cities and made those available as buttons that are shown when you click to open the extension. For example, Nord VPN's app has this feature directly below the blue "quick connect" button.

19. 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.

20. 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.
