  2. Linux systemd-networkd Wireguard DNS config

    Please add a flag to generate Wireguard configs which work with systemd-networkd. Especially the DNS settings are tricky. To get it to work I always have to replace the DNS config with:

    PostUp = resolvectl dns %i <dns server ip>; resolvectl domain %i "~."; ip route add <server ip> via <iface ip>; sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disableipv6=1
    PreDown = resolvectl revert %i; ip route del <server ip>; sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable    ipv6=0

    I believe this is a quick fix and it would make using wireguard configs easier.

  4. Pop!OS GNU/Linux Support

    Please provide Pop!OS gnu/linux support.

    Why: System76 is becoming one of the leading gnu/linux computer providers in the US!

    Note: the following error currently shows when attempting to connect via GUI and CLI:
    “ "Setting up Proton VPN. An unknown error has occured. Please ensure that you have internet connectivity. If the issue persists, please contact support.". I contacted support and the team could not provide any help due to lack of Pop!OS support.

    Here are the currently supported versions as of 20DEC2022:
    Debian 10+
    Ubuntu 20+
    Mint 20+
    MX Linux 19+
    Kali Linux

  8. Different region coverage for India other than New Delhi

    India has a wide variety of languages, the most common being Hindi, Telegu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. The connection to New Delhi may be impacted by Netflix restrictions for region-specific phrases in particular. More people watch Indian films in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telegu than in Hindi. So, instead of just connecting to New Delhi, think about connecting to those similar states in India.

  9. Start ProtonVPN minimized in tray (Linux)

    When you open ProtonVPN, and then close it, an applet stays active in the systemtray.
    It would be nice to be able to start only the applet at login.

  10. Disable VPN when on trusted Wifi Connections

    I love ProtonVPN. I use it on my Android phone, and have it installed on my home router to protect all my devices on my home network. When I connect my Android phone to my home wifi network, I would love for my ProtonVPN app to sense the new connection and disconnect it on my phone--so that I only use the mobile app when I'm out in the world on 4G/5G and public wifi connections.

  13. Android override GPS Location

    On Android, as a complement to the VPN it will be spectacular to have an enhacement where the GPS gets override and match the location of VPN location (as an enabled option).

    Ex. apps will think GSP location is same as the VPN location.

  15. Portmaster ( firewall ) could be important. It is free and open source. We can, perhaps, add it to the Proton VPN.

  16. Control the blocklists used by Netshield for ad blocking

    Please add the ability for users to control the blocklists used by Netshield for ad blocking. Most other tools (such as PiHole, Next DNS etc) allow users to manually:
    1. Specify which blocklists to activate
    2. Add sites to a white list (this is often needed to get newsletter sign-up forms and login forms on subscription and e-commerce sites to work properly)
    3. Add sites to a blacklist (custom blocklist).

  17. ipv6 support

    Please do support IPV6 connectivity (The purpose being to be to establish ipv6 connections through the tunnel)

    (Currently, IPV6 needs to be disabled to use protonVPN otherwise there is ipv6 leakage. As a result, ipv6 connectivity is broken when using protonVPN)

  19. Qnap and synology NAS support

    An app for Qnap (and Synology?) NAS would be really helpful it is impossible to use Qnap's vpn manager on third party app so using it as a client through OpenVPN is useless in a lot of situations... As of now no VPN provider has an app for it even on unofficial repo.

  20. [Feature Request] Connect on Boot

    Hello, I would like to suggest adding a <Connect on Boot> function to ProtonVPN Desktop App.

    But first, let me give a drill-down on what is Connect on Boot.

    🔺What is Connect on Boot?🔺
    A. This allows the VPN app to load and connect before the user successfully login on the Computer Login Screen.

    B. This is completely different from Connect on Login which requires the user successfully logged in to the computer and for the VPN app to successfully load on the program startup queue before it starts connecting.

    C. Connect on Boot is the perfect companion for users…
