GUI contrast
For some with impaired vision, the Proton interface is very hard to read. Is there any chance of getting a light background with black letters and a larger font?

By having it actually connect.
instead of free proton saying connecting and never connects, let's try making it connect and learning about how to do that more easily without being redirected to compare plans or upgrading, it seems that's all you all want to discuss or suggest.

Please make light mode an option. Dark mode is very difficult to read.

VPN Update - Make More Secure
It is really rather worrying that under Windows and presumably macOS - though not a big problem under Linux - Proton VPN disables itself during updates, leaving the OS to do as it pleases unless Permanent Killswitch is enabled. There are better ways of performing an update.
Ideally, the update would be downloaded and then all networking shut down while the app resets. Only when the app is up and running again would networking be enabled again and the previous VPN connection re-established. If a complete OS reset were required in these conditions, so be it, just warn users to…

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.64 votes -
Enable Filters With Smart Routing
I am located in a country that has some servers with Smart Routing and some without, however, when I click on fast connection, it seems to do so completely randomly, and the difference in latency is brutal (5ms x 200ms).
The program already shows which servers use this, but to avoid connecting to a specific server every single time, my request is very simple: I would like one of the filters to be a simple "Yes/No" to include Smart Routing them when connecting.
Oh yes, please also improve the automatic search to take latency into account, because "fastest server" is…

Specific connection for certain sites (browser extension).
I would love to being able to use a specific server for a website, a feature that already exists in Mullvad. I believe it is very useful, for example, on one website I connected to country X because it is the streaming location I want to watch, but I don't want the additional latency on the other pages, so I keep it on the fastest server.

Tiered VPN plan (with 3 country choices + free servers)
Like ProtonMail, it would likely attract more people who'd choose to pay for a VPN plan (including myself) if there was a tiered VPN pricing plan coupled with the ProtonMail plan (e.g. a ProtonMail + VPN plan with access to 1-3 servers vs. access to all servers available). One that you can pay less per month than the full VPN + Mail plan (7.99€), but more than the ProtonMail stand-alone plan (3.29€). A plan where you get to choose 3 specific country VPN servers that you have access to, instead of a plan that allows all the countries available.

Set default connection to a United States State
It would be great if I could set my default connection to be any server in a particular State of the United States. For example, I would like to be able to specify connecting to a server in Georgia by default by entering US-GA in the Default connection/Auto connect setting. Maybe people connecting from other countries would like a feature like this too. As an extension to this feature request having a "Quick Default Connection" button to connect to whatever is specified as the Default connection/Auto connect setting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Provide better control over Server Selection
I would like to be able to build a Profile containing a personalized list of Preferred Servers and a list of Excluded servers.
I have found that certain servers meet my needs better than others.
I mostly prefer US based servers close to my actual location to minimize latency.
I have also found that I DO NOT want to use ANY server located in Virginia (VA), because of VA laws requiring ID verification on certain sites. To that I say - ***** Virginia!
I would therefore like to be able to build an EXCLUDE LIST, which in my case would…2 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 -
Diskless Servers on SecureCore
Maybe this is already being done as of recent, but i can't find confirmation anywhere that the infrastucture is configured in such a manner.
Would increase my already high trust witrh Proton, for ProtnVPN, to confirm they run their servers diskless, at least in the SecureCore.8 votes -
Updated command Line Interface (CLI)

Random auto re-connects
Add a feature in the options you can toggle on/off to allow your VPN app to randomly reconnect to a new connection after a random amount of time.
Never the same amount of time. Could be 71mins, 7hrs42mins, 17hrs1min etc...
Keeping your signature even lower.2 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...

Ability to choose to connect to the fastest server in a state in America quickly
Currently if I want to connect to other states in America I have to go through a very long list of servers. I just want to quickly connector to the fastest server of that state or city with one click. More server detail option can be saved for some advance settings

CVE-2024-3661 (TunnelVision)
Make sure ProtonVPN is safe against CVE-2024-3661 (TunnelVision)!
According to the researchers responsible for the finding: "Using network namespaces on Linux can completely fix this behavior."
For more information, see:

Split Tunneling: Possibility of choosing apps by active processes
Currently you can only choose apps by searching for .exe files on system or IP.
It would be great to be able to select apps by active processes.
Ex: It's very difficult to activate the feature in MS Store apps. You have to look for the files that are HIDDEN by default. And it doesn't always work.
Via active processes would be much more practical and faster.Other VPNs already allow this in addition to the way currently implemented by Proton.

Add servers from Albania.
Google adds are not available in Albania so when connected to Albanian servers you won't see add on YouTube or other Google services.
