  1. Stop changing RPM repository signing key all the time

    Almost everytime I run "dnf update" on my system, the ProtonVPN repository signing keys have changed.

    I have to validate them again and again, without knowing if the key I'm allowing is really the good one (I even don't know where to look for the actual one).

    I think I'm not the only one trusting the new signing key blindly every because I'm annoyed, which is terrible from a security standpoint.

    Please keep your signing keys longer, as every sane repository does.

  2. Auto upgrade Android VPN (crazy using Google play store to upgrade)

    How crazy is it for a company like Proton with high privacy standards, using "Google" to download an upgrade!!!!!

    Really!

    Why not having an "auto" upgrade feature, bypassing Google in all cases?

  3. Change desktop app icon color to indicate connection status

    The proton VPN app icon currently shows the connection status by showing a tiny cross sign or a tick, which is hardly noticeable when you have a high-resolution monitor. Changing the icon colour will make it much better. This can even be an option for the user to select the icon they would like to see when the connection is established or disconnected.

  5. Make Proton VPN's Windows UI More Consistent with Mobile Apps

    I wanted to share some thoughts on the UI for Windows, it doesn’t really match the look and feel of the Android or iOS versions (though I haven’t used the iOS app in a while, so I’m not sure how it looks now). Compared to the Android app, the Windows version feels less polished.

    The font looks outdated, and the unrounded corners on things like the flags and the window itself clash with the design of the app, since there are rounded corners alongside them. Also, it should show the cities of the server location, and have better custom profile…

  6. 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.

  8. Proton to host TOR Entry and Exit relays around the world

    As part of the privacy supporting efforts, I'd like to suggest Proton to host Entry and Exit nodes for the TOR network.

  9. Split tunnelling would be more useful if it could use URLs and not just IP addresses.

    E.g., paramountplus.com has dozens of IP addresses. Manually finding and trying to maintain all of them (even if the platform could handle that many) would be a nightmare. So it's not very useful as it is, with just IP addresses.

  10. Can you please add a VPN for the Pacific island state of Palau?

    Can you please add a VPN for the Pacific island state of Palau? Palau offers digital ID's, and their users could use a Palau IP VPN connection.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Pause VPN

    For Proton VPN Android app, currently you are only able to "disconnect" from the VPN connection. Please provide a function to "pause for x mins" from both within the app but more conveniently from the drag down menu from the top of Android screen, where the running instance of the VPN is. NordVPN has this feature, and it is constantly useful for those moments where something you're doing isn't compatible with the VPN, but you want thw safety and convenience of it it turning back on automatically.

  14. Option for Gig speed support. Premium is ok

    There is a fast-developing trend in US for consumers easily accessing prosumer class high speed fiber for reasonable prices. 5-10 Gb. Mac mini supports 10GbE. USB-C supports 10Gb. Thunderbolt 5 available on Mac... It would be valuable if some of these bandwidth levels weren't bottlenecked at the VPN. My best case seems to be from 10GbE shunted down to ~750 MbE if using ProtonVPN... So the choice is speed OR security? Prosumers are not very price sensitive...

  15. Sort the list of countries by proximity

    This would be really useful for those of us who download via Torrent, every time I want to download via Torrent I have to manually search for the country closest to my country to get the fastest download speed. Which makes me have to scroll down quite a lot, when you do it so many times it ends up being very tiring and that's why I would like the country closest to mine to be at the top of the list.

  16. Virtual Local/Peer Network

    Allow users the create their own local networks, with devices that are running ProtonVPN.

    For example a user would like to access a web server at home from his mobile device. Either directly to the web server or just by connecting to the his home LAN.

    Another example, two ProtonVPN users would like to have a connection between their personal computers, for a network development project.

    This would of course lay the foundation for a encrypted p2p messaging.

    And for advanced users and professionals this would make life a whole lot easier, given that the implementation would show what devices…

  17. Timer for the random Vpn

    I would like to see the possibility to use the random Vpn option as a default one, with a timer to change the location constantly. I often use my devices for long period without setting them off, and time to time I change the server or the location for better privacy. But it would be nice to be able to set this automatically.

  18. Xray-core(dpi bypass protocol, in authoritarian countries)

    We suggest considering Xray-core as an alternative to current VPN protocols. Due to the expanding list of countries using internet censorship. Xray, as a successor to V2Ray, promises significant improvements: higher performance due to an optimized core, support for modern protocols (VLESS, Trojan) and advanced traffic obfuscation (XTLS), which is critical for bypassing DPI and ensuring reliable access.

  19. Forward More Than One port

    Currently with dynamic forwarding a single port can be forwarded for P2P connections. Sometimes more than a single port is necessary (an obfuscated port). It would be helpful if we had the ability to forward multiple ports within the GUI rather than searching for third-party solutions.
