  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    To…

  6. A checkbox that includes all Microsoft IP addresses used for M365 to bypass the VPN

    Some M365 tenants have conditional access rules, which would prevent using M365 while on a country that isn't allowed. If the Proton VPN had a checkbox that would automatically add all official Microsoft 365 IP addresses to bypass the VPN via split-tunnel, that would allow access to Microsoft 365. You could also go a little further and include a checkbox that would add all Microsoft 365 applications to bypass the VPN.

    Those two changes would simplify things for users who want access to M365 and also to be protected via VPN for non-Microsoft applications or websites.

  7. 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!

  8. 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…

  9. 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...

  12. Android: Split-Tunneling with Subnets

    The Android app lacks the subnet option for split-tunneling. The Windows app has it.

    I have multiple devices on a LAN that I need to access. It's a pain to have to enter each, individually. And it requires updating when I add or change a device. This should work on Android just like it does on Windows.

  13. Business plan

    Hi, I understand that you want to be profitable, so my idea is to make it as cheap as the competition for a yearly subscription but with a monthly payment option. A lot of people (I mean millions) would buy the service if it's cheap enough, and most of them don’t even use it afterward… I can say this from my own experience. I’m paying 50 cents every month to Snapchat just because it’s so cheap I can forget about it. I don’t use the extra features of Snapchat, but I pay for it anyway because I don’t mind supporting…

  14. Favorites Countries on Apple TV app

    on the apple tv app - If you could create a top new category like 'favorites' where we can add our preferred servers, then we would not have to scroll down trough the whole list to find the server to connect...

  16. Feature Request: Basic NetShield for Free Users

    ● What It Is: NetShield is a tool that blocks ads, trackers, and malware. With the paid version of Proton VPN, it's more advanced, but it's good to request basic NetShield for free users.
    
    ● Why It's a Good Request: For free VPN users, we don't need to see ads or worry about tracking that slows down our browsing. With a simple NetShield, the browsing is smoother and safer than trackers.
    

    "Hi Proton Team, it would be awesome if free users could have a basic version of NetShield for ad and tracker blocking. Even a lite version would really help…

  17. add support for single vpn connection on multiple user profiles on Android

    add support through ProtonVPN to use the same connection for all user profiles.

    Seems like a pretty simple function to allow the user to connect to the same profile on a different user akin to having the same wireguard config on multiple profiles.

    This saves users from accidentally using up multiple connections for one device.

  19. personal VPN

    Bonjour,

    Lorsque je suis en voyage, je perds la capacité de mes différents devices (principalement laptop & téléphone) de communiquer entre eux, ce que je peux faire lorsque je suis "à la maison" avec mon routeur wifi.

    Du coup, je me demandais s'il était raisonablement possible de recréer cette facilité avec mes devices connectés à Proton VPN (avec le même compte Proton par exemple). Un genre de "Personal VPN" for all my stuff wherever I am. Ce qui pourrait aussi permettre de toujours laisser connecté le VPN, même à la maison.

    Voilà ;-)

  20. Put the currently used VPN server at the top of the list.

    So you would have your list of countries, and the folder with your current server at the top of the list, regardless of the alphabet. And then, first in the list, the server you are connected to, if any.
