2. Feature parity between Windows/Mac and Linux

   I've started using Proton VPN in Windows, and it's a great app, full of resources, with great graphics, many resources, ability to auto-start, start minimized, auto-connect to a profile... The Mac version also looks very similar to Windows'.

   However, recently I changed to Linux (Pop OS, Ubuntu based), and although I had no problems installing the GUI version of the app, it does not even remotely resemble the Windows/Mac version. It's a very, veeeeeeeeery simple app, without the majority of configuration options present in their other OS's counterparts.

   Proton VPN team should dedicate more time to make the Linux version of the app the same that we see in Windows/Mac, so we can have in Linux exactly the same wonderful experience the app propitiates in Windows and Mac.

3. Suggestion: Temporary VPN Connection for Login Assistance

   Dear Proton VPN Team,

   I am a user from mainland China. When trying to log in to the Proton VPN desktop client, the login process often fails due to local network restrictions. This makes it difficult for users in regions with strict internet controls to access the service, even if they already have valid accounts.

   I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows the client to temporarily enable a lightweight VPN connection (or use a fallback method) during the login process. This would help users bypass local blocks and successfully authenticate, after which the normal VPN connection could proceed as usual.

   Such a feature would significantly improve the usability of Proton VPN in restricted regions and make the login process more reliable for affected users.

   Thank you for considering this suggestion, and for your continuous efforts to make the internet more private and accessible.

   Best regards,

4. Proton VPN firewall, post quantistic and other improvements

   • the possibility to link proton profiles to the account, so when I use the vpn on different devices I can find my own profiles
   • the possibility to change the server with a dedicated button which will follow the current VPN settings (same type, protocol, country, and so on) just using a different server
   • the integration (for mobile Android) of a firewall which can block internet connection for selected apps from user. This would be really really useful to block internet connection to app that doesn't need it (clock, calculator, file manager, and so on). In the market place there are some solutions (like NetGuard) but they are obviously incompatible with a VPN since they use the same approach of a VPN. Using constantly Proton VPN all apps have to use internet through the VPN so an integrated firewall would be extremely powerful.

7. allow port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn

   Please consider allowing port forwarding on a router-based wireguard vpn. I am unable to find any documentation on whether this is currently possible or not. I have an openwrt router using a wireguard vpn. I am happy with it, but it would be better if I could forward a port into my home network to allow plex access from outside the house.

   Cheers!

8. Split tunneling with hostnames

   In the current tech landscape, the same website can be served through thousands of distinct IPs, changing over time depending on specific criteria or even between deployments. It is humanly exhausting, and frankly unfeasible, to require that we have knowledge of IPs or IP ranges to exclude a specific site from VPN usage.

   I firmly believe that it is possible to implement the ability to provide access through hostnames (to enable any level of subdomain as well) without the need for a Herculean effort, even if it is necessary to require the user to use a specific DNS service.

   This is a relevant issue, and it cannot be resolved solely through browser extensions, as the use of hostnames goes far beyond web browsing. It is important to remember that VPN traffic also involves the use of terminals and other local applications, and, in the current approach, it is completely unfeasible to enjoy the use of the resource appropriately.

9. Android TV Kill Switch

   Hi,
   I am a paying user of the Proton Unlimited pachage and I am very happy with Protons VPN. However, I use an androidbox on my tv and I am missing a killswitch!
   Please add this as soon as possible because this is a real deal braker for me and I will probably switch back to Nord VPN if this is not fixed in the near future. I dont get why such an importand setting is not implemented in the android version of your VPN! I read many complaints about this issue on Reddit and people are looking at other, bettter VPN services that have this option.
   Keep up the good work and I hope you will fix this very very soon.

10. Using Proton client as an endpoint or route through existing device with proton vpn with LAN availability.

    Please add a way to create make the device as an endpoint.
    Similar to NordVPN's meshnet.
    This would be especially helpful to use netflix so it shows up as in the same household.

11. Latency

    You mention gaming as a usecase but don't display latency for servers.
    I've used/am using Proton VPN but since I couldn't know latency without manually testing every server and then logging into the game , I had to get exitlag just for gaming. Please implement at latency information and if possible implement something similar to exitlag so I don't have to have multiple subscriptions.

12. Feature request – Smarter Wi-Fi-based auto-connect rules on iOS

    Hello Proton team,

    First of all, thank you for Proton VPN and the whole Proton ecosystem. I’m a paying user and I really appreciate your focus on privacy and on open, well-documented security.

    I’m writing to request a feature that I believe matches a very common and “natural” use case for VPNs on mobile phones, especially on iOS.

    Current situation

    On iOS, we can use auto-connect and some Shortcuts automations, but there is no simple way to express the following behaviour:

    Automatically connect Proton VPN on any Wi-Fi network, except for a few trusted ones (for example my home Wi-Fi).

    Automatically disconnect Proton VPN when the device is no longer connected to Wi-Fi (i.e. when switching to cellular data).

    With the current options, we can approximate this behaviour using iOS Shortcuts, location-based automations, and manual workarounds, but it is fragile, complex to set up, and far from user-friendly.

    Requested feature

    It would be extremely useful to have, directly inside the Proton VPN app (or account settings), something like:

    A list of “Trusted Wi-Fi networks” (by SSID), for which:

    Option: Never auto-connect VPN on these networks

    Option: Automatically disconnect VPN when connecting to these networks

    A global rule such as:

    “Auto-connect Proton VPN on any Wi-Fi network that is not in the Trusted list.”

    “When not connected to Wi-Fi (cellular only), automatically disconnect Proton VPN (optional toggle).”

    This would perfectly match a very common pattern on mobile:

    At home (trusted Wi-Fi) → no VPN needed.

    On any other Wi-Fi (work, café, hotel, public hotspot) → VPN should automatically protect the connection.

    On cellular data → user can choose whether the VPN should remain on, but many people would prefer to turn it off automatically to save battery and data.

    Why this matters

    This behaviour feels like a “default” expectation for many privacy-conscious users on smartphones. Right now, implementing it requires:

    A good understanding of iOS Shortcuts / automation;

    Several separate automations (per location, per network, etc.);

    And even then, it still doesn’t handle “Wi-Fi disconnect” events cleanly.

    If Proton VPN could offer this directly as a first-class feature (especially on iOS, where system-level triggers are limited), it would greatly simplify the life of many users and make Proton VPN feel even more “smart” and integrated in everyday usage.

    Thank you very much for considering this request, and for all the work you already do to offer privacy-respecting tools. If you need more details or real-world usage examples, I’d be glad to provide them.

    Best regards,

13. Add an VPN endpoint to the Faroe Islands

    Hi Proton VPN team,

    I’m writing to request the addition of a Faroe Islands server to the Proton VPN network. Many Faroese students studying abroad and are unable to acces content from ect. local tv stations.

    CURRENTLY, NO VPN PROVIDER OFFERS AN ENDPOINT THERE, which limits our ability to participate fully in these programs. Due the Faroe Islands small size, not many other countries cover local events there.

    Adding a Faroe Islands node would not only serve the local population (~50 k residents) but also attract a niche market of international students and researchers interested in Faroese culture.

    Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards

14. Autoconnect when wifi is lost, disconnect on trusted wifi,

    I use a vivo Fold 3, there's no VPN option available. Only from within the proton app.
    Like Surfshark, an auto connect when no WiFi would be so good. And then, auto disconnect when on trusted WiFi, would be a great addition. As my router is always connected through proton VPN, there's 2 vpn's active when I'm home. And always need to manually disconnect the VPN ... In 2025... Please add these features.

16. Low Profile VPN Servers/IPs

    Almost all Proton IPs are polluted with bad reputation due to various malicious acts made through its VPN. This is really really annoying for good users.

    I think a large percentage of malicious acts made on Proton VPN servers are done via new accounts that are pretty quickly banned by Proton and by victims- but it still leaves a bad trace on the history of that ip.

    I propose a solution that could at least reduce ip pollution for quite a few users- what if we had few servers (or ips) that you only get access to after a year of subscription- by then if you were to act bad you’ll already be banned.

    it is not the best solution but at least its something

17. "Random" option when creating a profile

    When creating or editing a Standard VPN Profile, you select the country and then are given the option of "Fastest" or a given city/server. ProtonVPN used to have the option of to select "Random" here as well, ie a random server from within a specific country, but that seems to have been removed. Please add that option back.

18. Add options to exclude one's own country from autoconnect in Android TV

    On Android TV you can select a favourite country and it should have priority over everything. Apparently this does not work when adding vpn lock through adb. The system calls the Proton VPN app on Android TV and the app autoconnects to the fastest server which, in my case, it's always in my country.

    This is not good and, for many, could even be unsafe.

19. Notification if not connected

    User sets the time to get notified if they're disconnected for longer than x period.

    For users on iOS/android who may temporarily switch off the VPN and forget to toggle it back on, it would be great to have a notification based on a users preference (if not connected for x minutes, notify the user to say they're not connected)
