kill switch on the browser extensions
There should be a kill switch function on the browser extension (in my case its Firefox). NordVPN and other competitors have this ability. It's the only thing preventing me from buying a full subscription.
It's especially important on MacOS where Proton themselves recommend to use browser extensions instead of the desktop app for split tunnelling due to Apple's webkit based apps messing with it. ( https://protonvpn.com/support/protonvpn-split-tunneling#macos )

Extend NetShield content blocking options
I wish NetShield had more fine-tuned content blocking options beyond malware and ads/trackers. Mullvad can also block the following:
- Gambling
- Adult content
- Social mediaPlease add these options to NetShield so I don't have to trust a third party custom DNS (and risk being fingerprinted for it). Proton might treat this as low priority, but it's important to me. This and DAITA are some of Mullvad's distinctive features, so I'd appreciate if Proton had them too.

could we perhaps get a client without systemd on linux?
Pretty please? I just want to connect from my systemd-less distros and I will need to just switch to another VPN if I am unable to do that for well, obvious reasons.

We’re still using Windows 7 (or Windows 10) – so what?
We’re still using Windows 7 – so what? It’s none of your business; let us use the VPN version we’ve paid for.
What’s the problem? All you need to do is let us use the latest compatible version we’ve paid for. Especially as I’ve read that you’re also going to ban Windows 10 users soon. Microsoft is using underhand tactics and you’re just going along with it? What’s got into you?3 votes -
Preventing Fake AI influencers across multiple platforms
With the rise of AI , fake influencers are targeting the market. Most of these "experts" or "real life stories" dont exist. If proton had an option to filter or block AI vs real products it would be great. I know this wouldn't be an easy task, but with so many being targeted by AI , Proton could provide security from what is real vs generated.

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…

ProtonVPN for OpenSUSE
Flatpak sand-boxing makes a fully functioning VPN client difficult. While I still think it's a good option to push the VPN client to more Linux distros, if that isn't an option, I'd like to see an OpenSUSE supported VPN client.

Proton VPN ZTNA, and Bandwidth sharing
I'd love a native Proton app/feature for outbound connections from my home router, with four independent options I can turn on or off separately:
Access my own network – securely reach my home devices (NAS, cameras, etc.) from anywhere, without opening any inbound ports on my router/firewall.
Share my bandwidth – let my home connection help Proton's network (extra exit capacity), fully opt-in.
Hairpin my mobile traffic through home – route my phone's traffic back through my home internet connection when I'm out, so it looks like I'm browsing from home.
VPN out specific LAN devices – pick one or…

Enhance anti-censorship capabilities and update IP addresses promptly to ensure usability in regions with strict censorship.
Currently, Proton VPN is almost unusable in regions with strict censorship, and it is hoped that measures can be taken to alleviate this problem.

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.

Option to choose available servers in free version
Sometimes it can be annoying that I can't choose a stable needed server for me on free version of the VPN, that's why some servers sometimes get overloaded with users and it's really hard to find a different server that isnt as much loaded. Please add this to the VPN!

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…10 votes -

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…

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.8 votes -
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…

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.
