1. Implement Rolling/Tiered Server Maintenance to Avoid Complete Country-Wide Outages

   During routine maintenance cycles, I've noticed that all servers within a given country are occasionally taken offline simultaneously — occurring roughly every 2–3 months.

   This forces users to reroute through servers in neighboring countries, which often serve different regional content, languages, and geo-restricted services. The result is a noticeably degraded browsing experience that undermines the core value of a VPN.

   Proposed Solution:
   Introduce a rolling or tiered maintenance schedule that keeps a minimum percentage of servers online at all times within each country cluster. For example:

   • Tier 1 (Active): A baseline set of servers remains fully operational during any maintenance window.
   • Tier 2 (Maintenance): A rotating subset undergoes updates, patches, or hardware work.
   • Tier 3 (Standby/Buffer): Reserved servers that can be activated if Tier 1 capacity drops below a threshold.

   This approach is widely used in cloud infrastructure (e.g., rolling deployments, blue-green deployments) and would allow Proton VPN to maintain service continuity without impacting the user's country-specific connection.

   Expected Benefits:

   • Users stay connected to their preferred country's servers throughout maintenance periods.
   • Reduced disruption to region-specific content, language settings, and geo-dependent services.
   • Improved perceived reliability and service quality.

2. Application Logs

   In settings > view logs - create a toggle to enable Application, WireGuard and Transaction logging within the application. There are benefits to having this logging available, however it should be disabled by default and only enabled for troubleshooting/debugging issues. This would improve application performance significantly and it would remove a potential privacy issue related to application log access.

6. 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

7. 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
   https://github.com/ivpn/ios-app/tree/main/IVPNClient/Models/V2Ray

9. Better VPN Compatibility With Government Services

   I think it would be useful if Proton VPN could improve compatibility with government apps and online services. There are situations where users want to keep their VPN enabled while completing important tasks, but some services do not always work smoothly with a VPN connection. For example, people using the eGovPH app for NBI Clearance renewal may need to switch their VPN off during the process, even though they would prefer to keep their connection protected. I came across the renewal process at https://onlinenbiclearance.ph/nbi-clearance-renewal-egovph-app/ while looking into how these services work, and it made me think that better compatibility with trusted government services would be a useful feature. An optional compatibility mode could make Proton VPN more convenient for users who want privacy without interrupting access to essential online services.

10. Domain Split tunnelling in Desktop app

    In the Windows app, there should be an option to split tunnel domains as well as IPs, sometimes specific apps block VPNs and it would be nice to split tunnel a specific domain device wide rather than having to choose an IP because IPs don't always work, especially in some games that block VPNs

    keep ​our​ primary number hidden and ​our conversations untraceable, ensuring ​our identity always stays protected​?

14. 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.

    Hi

    Please add more open censorship circumventing protocols..

    Like AmnesiaWG and X-Ray

    This is extremely important to bypass hard blocks. And also it will allow to set them up on rare systems (like OpenWRT routers, Raspbian, DD-WRT etc)

16. Feature for Proton VPN (gtk) App

    Proton VPN App creates an icon in the toolbar / app-bar, where hovering mouse over it tells "Proton VPN". That is good for the beginner, but the thing I usually want to know is 1) Where am I connected [CH-#123] or if I am not connected, 2) to tell [Proton VPN not connected]. At the present I have to open the "Show" to see the connection. Even more information could be useful, but I have no ideas for that.

    Secondly I want the "Show" appear just below the "Disconnect" option. "Quit" can well be the last one.

17. Linux - Include client options to GUI

    Currently the linux client have several interested features that could be great to have in the GUI.

    For example be able to connect to fastest secure core server, or random secure core (--random -sc), random p2p, etc.
    It could be an option to click connect, like the other ones, or a param that could be added in the Autoconnect or Pinned tray icons, like the already existing "Fastest" option.

    For example:
    1. SecureCore -> --securecore
    2. Random -> --random
    3. RandomSecureCore -> --random --securecore
    4. P2P -> --p2p
    5. RandomP2P -> --random --p2p

    Only the GUI because it has support for Advanced kill-switch would be great to be able to connect to a random and decongested server. Proton have server in countries that usually are lower than 5% of capacity while others are +60%.

    It would be a good option for people like me that only want to connect to a sever without worrying where it is.
    And like these servers are less used, the IPs are usually less blocked by services or bot scanners.

    Options:
    --country TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified country
    Country code (US, GB, DE) or full name ("United States")
    --city TEXT Connect to fastest server in specified city
    City name (use quotes for multi-word: "New York")
    --p2p Connect to fastest P2P-optimized server
    -sc, --securecore Connect to fastest Secure Core server
    --tor Connect to fastest Tor server
    --random Connect to random available server
    -h, --help Show this message and exit.

19. More Netshield statistics

    At the moment, you can see in Netshield how many adverts have been blocked and how many trackers have been stopped.

    It would also be great if you could see exactly which ones and on which page or in which app they were.

    The display keeps resetting. I’m fine with that in principle, but an overview of these statistics would be very interesting for tech enthusiasts. ;-)

20. Missing data transfer notification option

    In the notification area, only the country and total upload/download and speed since the start of using the application are displayed. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to specify, for example, daily download/upload or weekly or monthly or select a date from when to when. This option would be great for tracking a monthly data plan
