1. ssh tunnels

   Ssh tunnels to allow a public ip and port to inbound to a lan device. Not a full vpn. Limited to a single port.

   Some providers block all inbound traffic that is unsolicited, on their network. Both ipv6 and ipv4. This also breaks ipv6. But, instead of using a full wireguard client which is much lighter than the extremely heavy protonvpn client, nevertheless it causes bsod. I would like to be able to simply use something like putty to get an inbound port opened to a local lan device. It does not have to be a fixed port number or ip. There would be some facility to report what the public ip and port is. The natpmpc currently only works in linux, when in combination with a vpn it is used to poll/detect/keep open the public port. It's a bit cumbersome, and as i said i have no interest in running the fully, heavy protonvpn client.

2. Improve the speed of "Auto startup".

   It takes a lot of time for Proton VPN to launch & connect to a VPN server automatically. I log on and have to wait a lot before being able to use the internet as I have to wait for Proton VPN to connect to a server. This is really annoying and is like my number one concern with Proton VPN.

   One proposed fix was: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/44812795--feature-request-connect-on-boot, which says "completed" but no matter how hard I try to find this function, it, as far as I know, doesn't exist.

   Please do something about this. I'm not a developer so I have no idea how, but it is really annoying.

3. Request for an "App-Specific Block Log" feature

   Suddenly, my smartphone's temperature rose to 43°C, and ProtonVPN's battery usage reached 38%. Upon checking, I found that while connected to the fastest server, NetShield had blocked 200 trackers in just 30 minutes.
   After switching to SecureCore, the number of trackers was cut in half, and the temperature dropped to 24°C.
   ProtonVPN used the most power, while Brave Nightly used the most data. This doesn’t tell us who the culprit is.
   Just as I turned NetShield off, a "ClearNote consent pop-up" appeared. Although the Google Play Store stated that no data would be shared with third parties and that no data would be collected, it suddenly asked me to consent to the use of my data.
   There were too many detailed terms and conditions, and there wasn’t a simple “Disagree” button. I couldn’t go back or close the app, so I had to turn off the power to resolve the issue.
   I enabled NetShield in SecureCore and began migrating and deleting ClearNote data. Then I uninstalled it. During this process, which took about an hour, it blocked 900 trackers. After uninstallation, the number of blocked trackers dropped to about 50 per hour.
   I would like to keep NETShield enabled at all times, but in situations like this one—where “you can’t identify the culprit unless you turn it off”—the security risk is too high, so it should generally remain enabled. That’s why I’d like it to display a list of blocked trackers, just like Brave does.

4. User Interface Refresh for Fire TV/Android TV + inclusion of profiles

   A major overhaul/refresh of the Fire/Android TV apps to bring in some cohesion with Apple TV, Windows and phone apps.

   Also to include profile options like Fastest Location (excluding my country) for the TV apps. If not profiles, at least the Fastest Location (ex.) option.

6. Update TV app interface & add more features

   I've been using Proton for years and one of the things that still bugs me, although certain things have been added we're still lacking a kill switch and many more modern settings with a modern interface that alignes with the rest of the VPN apps. Will this be addressed at all? I know it's something myself and others have asked for a lot over the years and I know whilst TV apps may not be the top priority it's something many of us need nowadays, I've had it a few times where my IP has been exposed as the app has disconnected.

7. Fix Custom DNS on Linux and Windows

   Custom DNS on Linux and Windows Does not work. The custom DNS address is ignored, and DNS requests are still sent via Proton servers.

   It works on Android (although after some time it seems to revert to Proton DNS servers until I disconnect and reconnect, when it starts working again).

   This needs resolving please.

8. Split-Tunneling

   Someone please explain why ProtonVPN cannot have the Kill-Switch and Split-Tunneling both activated at the same time. There are lots of times I have to disconnect ProtonVPN to access some Internet sites. Not having a Kill-Switch and disconnecting the VPN defeats the purpose of a VPN; a Kill-Switch is a must. Other VPN allow both the Kill-Switch and Split-Tunneling to be activated at the same time; why can't ProtonVPN do the same. Hopefully a Proton Team Member will explain.

9. Secure core chaining

   I wanted to suggest a potential enhancement for the Secure Core feature. Currently, it’s only possible to select one Secure Core server as the first hop, and the exit must be outside the Secure Core network. It would be great if users could chain multiple Secure Core servers together.
   For example, it could allow connections like Switzerland → Iceland, or Switzerland → Sweden, rather than being limited to an external exit server. This would provide an additional layer of security for users who want to maximize jurisdictional protection across multiple Secure Core nodes.
   Thank you for considering this improvement, and for all the work you do to keep the service secure.

10. More serios anti abuse mesurments

    Hello

    the suggestion is just 1, the one in the title.

    i keep finding out that i go to random website, and no, i am not talking about pron or dark web or whatever else exist, but simple random websites, shopping, pc stuff, ai stuff, so on, and everywhere the IP is blocked???

    Mind you, i say ip because when i connect to another one then it works. And in all of them it's the same message: due to abuse

    Now before i continu i want to make one thing absolutly clear: the limits for privacy by proton. Sorry but i really hope people understand i am not even saying to add new rules or whatever, just for more enforcement. Aka "How can we improve Proton VPN?"

    well, i hope i speak to everyone when i say if there is 100% privacy but more serios anti abuse, people who take advantage of 100% privacy will not like it if their "100% privacy" stops due to them "having fun" or "spreeding "opinions"" or whatever they did. Meaning that they will stop using Proton VPN. This will result in less websites blocking Proton VPN and more people will use proton vpn simple because it's 100% privacy + a new reputation of being not wellcome people who abuse the privacy

13. Split-Tunneling Fill Switch and Advance Kill Switch

    Proton Unlimited has the best features compaired to other services, but needs to fix critical features with ProtonVPN:
    ProtonVPN has a Regular Kill Switch, but for optimal security it needs to have an Advance Kill Switch (An advanced VPN kill switch is a security feature that prevents your device from connecting to the internet unless it is actively connected to a VPN server. Unlike basic kill switches that only activate when the VPN disconnects unexpectedly, the advanced version blocks all internet traffic even if the VPN app is closed, restarted, or during system boot-up and shutdown). ProtonVPN Split-Tunneling automatically blocks the Kill Switch from working; I cannot understand why Split-Tunneling blocks the Kill Switch, which is very unsafe for the entire VPN, a Kill Switch should always be activated and is critical when using any VPN. As of now if a IP blocks a connection I have to temporarily turn off the VPN to connect, which defeats the purpose of a VPN.

14. Add a censorship-resitant technology such as V2RAY or UPD-over-TCP.

    Mullvad VPN uses Wireguard obfuscation (UDP2TCP). IVPN on iOS uses V2RAY. Those protocols allows to reliably bypass censorship. Proton on the other hand only has Stealth, which is unreliable and often disconnects.

    Request : Add a censorship-resitant technology such as V2RAY or UPD-over-TCP.

    Sources:

    https://github.com/mullvad/udp-over-tcp
    https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core

15. Auto switch server in the same country when current server usage is too high

    Sometimes, when i'm connected to the VPN, the server i'm currently connected on gets a high load and my connection starts to slow down.
    So it would be nice to have an optional setting that could automatically switch to server with less load in the same country you were connected in in order to make the connection fast again.
    Also maybe make users be able to choose what load percentage they consider as high load, and also be able to control this setting for different profiles.

16. Mobile app - Allow "trust wifi network" option

    VPN Always on - for this feature, it would be nice to have a "trust wifi network" option. Like Nord VPN, you can trust a certain wifi network so when you connect to that wifi network it disconnects the VPN. When you disconnect from that network it reconnects to the VPN. You can have a list of trusted wifi networks remembered in the app.

19. Make it possible to randomize for fastest connection within custom parameters

    For instance, I want it to pick the fastest server anywhere in the eastern time zone using stealth with p2p optimization and onion routing. And maybe allow a corresponding custom server list at the top of the ‘countries’ list, or similar.

20. Show Hosting Provider Info in Server List

    Please add hosting provider info directly in the ProtonVPN app, displayed alongside the server name (e.g. PL#81 – DataCamp).

    Or even better, add categories for hosting providers, just like cities currently are, so users can quickly find all servers from a specific provider that work best with their ISP.

    For example, my ISP performance varies by provider:
    
    - Excellent with Datacamp Limited (DataPacket)
    - Decent with PV-SL-HOSTED-Warsaw-Network
    - Terrible with M247

    Currently, I have to connect to multiple servers and check my IP info to find a provider that works well, which wastes several minutes and is very annoying.

    Mullvad shows hosting provider info, but only on their website, which isn’t ideal.

    ProtonVPN should make this visible directly in-app.

    This feature would save time, improve usability, and make server selection much clearer.
