1. Ability to re-arrange pinned (favorite) servers

   The list of favorites is static at the moment. It would take great effort to re-arrange the list into the desired order, having to remove items, and add them in a planfull matter.

   Therefore it would be very handy, if dragging the list items around would be possible. Thanks!

2. Reuse keys / change peer in WireGuard configuration

   Currently if you generate a configuration through account.protonvpn.com/downloads the private key will only be valid for the server you chose. If you want to change the server, it's not enough to replace its public key and endpoint address for another Proton VPN server, you have to generate a new configuration with a new private key.

   In an ideal world, I could generate a single configuration / private key, and later change out the VPN server endpoint. This would make it a lot less hurdle to switch VPN servers on routers.

3. Allow unauthenticated access to HTTPS Squid proxies from Proton VPN IP ranges

   One important feature other privacy VPNs offer is the ability to use proxies for per-service split-tunneling. For example, when using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extensions, one can assign different HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies for different containers. This allows users to compartmentalize multiple online identities by assigning a different IP address to them. Some desktop apps also support specifying a proxy.

   Proton has already stated that SOCKS5 won't be supported because it doesn't meet some security requirements. However, Proton already operates HTTPS Squid proxies, because they are used by the Proton VPN browser extension.

   These HTTPS Squid proxies require authentication though, because the Proton VPN browser extension is designed to be usable without the desktop app, and it needs to check whether the user has access to Plus servers. The extension uses a temporary session token for authentication to the Squid proxy, so this can't be replicated manually when setting a Firefox container / desktop application to use a proxy.

   I request that unauthenticated access to the HTTPS Squid proxies without the temporary session tokens should be allowed if the user is already connected to Proton VPN via the desktop app, and thus has already authenticated themselves.

4. Extend LAN network through VPN

   Add a feature that allows a desktop (or a home server) to be used as an endpoint for VPN connection, allowing the user to use the internet like they are in its local network. Useful to connect to LAN devices safely without exposing them to the Web and for limited services like Netflix that blocks users from other places to connect to the same account.

5. Manual Wireguard Peer Configuration

   At the moment, have to use a provided secret key for Wireguard. This poses a security issue if you are wanting to use Proton VPN with an existing Wireguard interface.

   I have some self-hosted apps running on a VPN protected by Wireguard. If I want to be able to connect to ProtonVPN and my self-hosted apps using the same Wireguard interface, I'd need to use a private key generated by Proton to access both on the same interface. This is both a hassle as I'd have to update all my configs for this key, and also a security risk as that key could be used to pose as one of my devices to connect to my self-hosted services.

   If we could instead provide our own public key when configuring our devices, rather than using the provided private key, that would avoid the security issue.

   If we could also customize the peer IP address (though I understand that may be less feasible) that would avoid the issue of having to change all of my configurations.

6. Tailscale exit nodes

   I would love to be able to use Proton VPN as exit nodes on Tailscale.

   They recently announced support for Mullvad exit nodes, and I'm sure they would be interested in adding more options:

8. Browser extensions remember recent servers / cities

   It would be nice if the browser extensions remembered a few of your most recently used servers / cities and made those available as buttons that are shown when you click to open the extension. For example, Nord VPN's app has this feature directly below the blue "quick connect" button.

11. Use RPKI to protect Proton VPN customers from BGP hijacking

    In 2020, Proton was the victim of BGP hijacking. In a blog post about the incident, Proton said it was securing its own BGP route announcements using RPKI. However, Proton VPN's ISP (M247, AS9009) does not use RPKI to verify other sites' announcements. This can be seen by going to the Is BGP Safe Yet website Proton linked to in its own blog post. Proton should use RPKI to verify the routes to sites its customers visit so the customers are protected from BGP hijacking of the sites they visit.

12. Game Server Proximity Connection

    This feature could enhance the gaming experience for VPN users. Upon initiating a gaming session, the VPN would identify the location of the game server to which the user is connected. The VPN would then select and connect to its own server that is geographically closest, or lowest ping to the game server. This process ensures optimal latency and performance by minimizing the distance data has to travel between the VPN server and the game server, potentially providing a better gaming experience.

    Functionality:

    1.  Initial Connection: When a user starts a game, the VPN detects the connection to the game server.
    2.  Server Analysis: The VPN identifies the physical location of the game server.
    3.  Optimal Server Selection: The VPN then scans its network to find the server closest to the game server’s location.
    4.  Seamless Re-routing: The VPN automatically switches the user’s connection to this optimally located server.
    

    This approach could improve gaming performance for VPN users, particularly in multiplayer online games where latency is a critical factor.

13. All VPN servers on a global network (a similar feature to Surfshark Nexus)

    Currently on Surfshark they have options such as RotatingIP (without any disconnections) thanks to Nexus. This is their name for having all of their VPN severs connected on a global network. This also can change the users server incase of over crowding without any loss of service. (For more info on what it does you can google Surfshark Nexus). Would be nice for a similar feature on Proton.

14. Ability to see current load of selected servers - web interface or API

    I use the router config exclusively.

    Need a quick way other than visiting the web dashboard and drilling down to find current load of any given server... it's cumbersome to visit the web page, click through the menu, scroll down to country, expand the list, then open browser search to find the server you're looking for.

    An API would be awesome. With an API in place, clients could be built for various platforms (windows, mac, ios, browser extension, etc.)

    Then when server loads goes nuts I can quickly switch (via my router app) to another server I have already configured.

15. Large connect button on UI does not work in Tahoe 26.

    Tahoe 26 has messed with your UI. The large connect/disconnect button at the top of the UI does nothing on my MacBook Pro M1 Max running Tahoe 26. I have to go down and click the connect or disconnect button that shows up right next to the country name in the list of countries.

    PLEASE FIX.

20. Make a Lite version of Proton apps (VPN, drive, mail, e.t.c), for people on older android devices like android 5 (or even android 4)..

    Since the majority of proton apps need a minimum of android of 8 and 9 (except for calendar), I think this would be a good idea for both sides (customers and business). People on lower/older end devices get to use proton services, which also leads to the point of more potential customers. Would really like this to happen. kind regards
