  1. Patch memory corruption bugs on Android VPN app

    On April 24th, 2024 it was reported to Proton Support that the Proton VPN app for Android has memory corruption issues and the relevant debug logs were included (request 2830533); the conclusion was that the report would be forwarded to the engineers. This was caught with GrapheneOS' memory tagging extension (MTE) feature which shuts down apps upon detection of memory errors. It's been over six months since the initial report and the Android Proton VPN app still crashes almost instantly if MTE is enabled. Since memory errors pose a security risk, please patch this as soon as possible.

  2. 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.

  4. Create a "Fastest" profile in a country including all the servers for a specific city

    Hi there!

    What I would like to be able is for example to find the "Fastest" server in Canada but for "all Montreal" servers only, not a specific one like I can set right now, so that Proton try to connect to the fastest server in Montreal and not the fastest server in Canada.

    Also specify the feature. Example if I want only for streaming or if I want both streaming and P2P, etc. Filters would be able to show if the feature is available of course.

    Long story short, a profile for the "Fastest server from all servers of…

  5. 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.

  6. Split Tunnel: individual WiFi SSID subnet whitelists for VPN bypass, plus Kill Switch coexistence

    Allowing split tunneling to combine with kill switch is a common request, and is pretty important for many people. Also an available feature of other VPN services. This is needed.

    Turning off VPN for even a split second in order to access something on your local network significantly degrades the anonymity the VPN was providing you (all local apps get to phone home with the latest connection information, that data shared/sold/crossreferenced with other data obtained while connected to VPN, etc). I do not want a single packet leaving my phone/tablet unless it is protected by VPN -OR- going directly to…

  7. Port Forwarding, and/or uPnP, through (i.e. Pfsense or router gateway as client) Wireguard to client PC(s)

    For connections initiated with a standard Wireguard client (instead of a Proton App, since PfSense runs on FreeBSD).

    Need PfSense Port Forwarding supported; and that is without needing to log into PfSense and constantly update to a new port number.

  8. Support for LibreELEC (either an addon for Kodi or a comprehensive guide to set up OpenVPN on it)

    A thing that I really, really would like to have is the possibility to use Proton VPN on my Raspberry Pi 5 with LibreELEC on it.

    After downloading the Zomboided addon for Kodi ( https://github.com/Zomboided/service.vpn.manager ) and using a script to solve the missing update-resolv-conf issue ( https://github.com/RamSailopal/resolvconf ), I managed to connect to your paid servers with my credentials, but while the IP address is ok I still get a DNS leak and I don't know how to fix it. I tried various things but nothing worked yet.

    The best solution would be a Kodi Proton VPN add-on or…

  9. Browser Extension Split-Tunnelling: allowlist AND blocklist

  10. Make Swiss flag square instead of rectangular

    In the macOS app the swiss flag is rectangular instead of being square. Can that be adjusted?

  11. Provide a command to get current open port

    Private Internet Access (PIA) provides a convenient way to programmatically get the current port forward open port through the command line via the command:

    /path/to/piactl.exe get portforward

    This allows for automatic scripts to parse this information and update other applications on demand.

    Please provide a way to achieve the same effect on ProtonVPN, either via a a local rest API, a command line option, or a simple txt file that gets created and updated whenever the VPN connects/reconnects.

  12. Settings

    Ability to transfer settings. For example, if I have ProtonVPN installed on one phone then want to switch to another phone or upgrade the phone, I want the ability for all or some of the settings from my previous phone to transfer over instead of manually having to configure each and every setting every time. This is especially important for excluded apps that requires tedious time and effort to go through a long list of apps.

  13. Use Hardware / Security Key as 2FA

    Allow Hardware Security Keys (FIDO2 like YubiKey) as a backup 2FA for ProtonVPN (like all the other Proton Services). Currently Proton VPN only supports TOTP authenticators for 2FA which is inconvenient especially when all the other Proton services work fine with security keys.

  14. Device status indicator (how many out of 10 are in use)

    Its annoying that their is no overview of how many devices your using out of the 10 allowed.
    Also, it would be nice to be able to name your devices if this feature is added.

  16. Show city in UI (top right)

    I've noticed (top right of UI) that ProtonVPN displays location-based information i.e. the country, server, and IP address only, it currently does not include the current city. Adding this piece of information could significantly improve the functionality.

  17. Further Profile Customization - Select Sever by State/Province and City

    Hey all, after using Proton VPN for years, I love the features and options. However, one option I'm finding I wish I had was further server profile customization.

    For instance, if I make a profile for the fastest server in the USA, I cannot select by State. However, when using family streaming accounts on a VPN, I find selecting a local State/Province helps with speed and accessibility. If my family is in Texas and doesn't normally use a VPN, but I log in to the account while connected to a Chicago VPN server, I find the streaming app doesn't work…

  18. 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.

  20. ProtonVPN - Improvements to profile

    As there are now 100 countries added, there are countries with local laws that are considered draconian, and the Windows client doesn't support this feature.

    We should have extended option to our custom profiles to pick by state. Right now it's just specific individual servers which isn't fair.

    I keep thinking of looking for another provider until ProtonVPN corrects this.

    For example, states are implementing **** age restrictions mandating IQ laws. They're also trying to add bans on Tiktok and other social media. So I believe we should be able to just pick states that don't have this than just…
