Submit Linux package updates in official distro repos
Proton VPN is open source and uses well-known and established components of the NetworkManager stack. Due to these two things, there is virtually nothing standing in the way of the Proton VPN team from building and submitting packages officially to Linux distributions like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, EPEL, etc. Proton VPN is further enhanced by packaging upstream by increasing the availability of Proton VPN software packages in the global software package mirroring network (deterring censorship) and benefiting from improved transparency and openness by building packages through distribution-supported build systems, which are often reproducible.
The policies of most distros are friendly to…

VPN on/off widget for iOS 17
It would be great if we could have a regular widget with on/off and pause option. It would be very practical compared to having to open the app every time you want to perform any of those actions.

Reconnect to next best server
Occasionally I have a slow connection to the "optimal" server or the quality of the connection changes overtime. I would love a single click button to connect to the next best server and not automatically reconnect to the one I was just connected to like it does when I manually cycle it.

RAM Servers
If Proton VPN run only on RAM (volatile memory) and hard disk-less servers can let nothing is stored locally, which makes Proton VPN more secure and privacy.

Allow Killswitch to be enabled with Split Tunnel
Currently, the app will not allow you to use the Split Tunnel feature if you have the Killswitch enabled. Having migrated from Private Internet Access, I was used to having this possibility with their client and would love to see this in Proton VPN as well.
Having some exceptions configured to bypass the VPN should not completely block the killswitch feature and open the risk of IP leaks.
I would be okay with the VPN app completely killing my bypassed connections as well, it wouldn't even have to be gracefully respecting those. That would just be a nice-to-have.

Show city in UI (top right)
I've noticed (top right of UI) that ProtonVPN displays location-based information i.e. the country, server, and IP address only, it currently does not include the current city. Adding this piece of information could significantly improve the functionality.

Basic VPN plan
My current VPN service, which includes Google VPN and additional features, costs $25 per year. While I have the free version of ProtonVPN, I don't use it because it lacks servers in my home country, causing issues with accessing some local websites. I would consider switching to ProtonVPN if they offered a paid tier just above the free plan with a reasonable price, ideally including 1 or 2 overseas servers and 1-2 local servers for accessing local content.

PotonVPN on ARM Wnndows ARM beta
Windows on ARM processor is already available as a beta, so I ask you to develop an ARM64 version of your software, which simply requires a new compilation. That's why I'm asking you to make sure there are more Windows tablets to buy. I don't want you to miss the trend. That's exactly how I'm rooting for it in the Linux Debian area.

Favorite Servers- Mark Favorite
We want to mark some servers as favorite...
Scenario: If I'm connecting to Fastest Country and my favorite server is in the array, it would be my preferred connection.
If we could mark servers as favorite, we would be able to see a list of those favorite servers with sorting, etc.

Further Profile Customization - Select Sever by State/Province and City
Hey all, after using Proton VPN for years, I love the features and options. However, one option I'm finding I wish I had was further server profile customization.
For instance, if I make a profile for the fastest server in the USA, I cannot select by State. However, when using family streaming accounts on a VPN, I find selecting a local State/Province helps with speed and accessibility. If my family is in Texas and doesn't normally use a VPN, but I log in to the account while connected to a Chicago VPN server, I find the streaming app doesn't work…

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.12 votes -
Quick action shortcuts on Android
It would be great if ProtonVPN Android app supported quick action shortcuts that appear when you click and hold on the app icon. For example, in Proton Drive, you got quick access options to app pages like Photos, Shared links etc. When you click and hold on the icon. It would be great if Proton VPN app also supported such features like quickly connecting to VPN and so on.

Block Malware by maintained database (not just dns)
To my understanding you now only block malware based on dns. I would think it would be very nice if also ip addresses of bad actors would get blocked by using realtime databases of such attackers.

Snooze function
Some websites block the usage of VPNs it would be great if we could snooze the VPN for a few minutes without having to disconnect and then reconnect manually.
Would be extra good if it could be done with a right click on the taskbar or system tray icon.63 votes -
Android improvements (country names, profiles, metrics, random connections)
A posted this on reddit, but I figured I'd put it here as well.
I've been a longtime user of ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and am incredibly grateful of everything they've done to make privacy accessible to more people. I also really love the new ProtonMail app. But ProtonVPN has problems.
To some it up, it seems like functionality has been sacrificed for vague aesthetics.
Specifics:
1. The name of the country you are connected to is in tiny text down near the bottom of the screen. This is even worse if you are connected to the "fastest country". Instead most…8 votes -

Do NOT put version number into the path (folder name) of executable binaries!
Hardcoding the version number into the path (folder name) of executable binaries in ProtonVPN, Proton Mail Bridge is generally a VERY BAD IDEA and poor software engineering. Every time these programs update themselves, I need to manually update Windows Firewall rules, as - according to Proton Support - it is not possible for their software to update firewall rules automatically...

Show VPN server hostname/IP and its providers
I suggest adding detailed VPN server specifications, including hostname/IP and provider information, to make it easier for users to select servers based on individual preferences. This additional information would provide more transparency and control, enhancing the user experience.
