Split Tunnelling in Proton CLI
With Split Tunnelling now available in the GUI app, it is a real shame not to have it in the CLI app, where it would be just as useful if not more.

Show basic stats in iOS ProtonVPN App and use Stats to connect to optimal server
I wish the iOS could show some basic stats such as: ping time, data upload in past hour/day, data download in past hour/day, max up/down speeds over different time windows.
Next step would be to use the ping data or max speeds to make connection choices - like to reconnect to another server in that country (or a set of countries) based on lowest ping or highest speed server.
At the moment it feels like some of the WiFi networks I connect to might be traffic shaping and I wish ProtonVPN would seek out and reconnect to better servers when…3 votes -
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…11 votes -
“Display VPN connection duration in the Linux app
Hello,
I'm a Proton VPN user on both Linux and Windows, and I've noticed that, unlike the Windows app, the Proton VPN app for Linux doesn't show how long the current VPN connection has been active.
This is a feature that I find very useful on Windows, especially for checking how long the VPN connection has remained active. I think it would be great to have this information available in the Linux app as well.
Thank you for considering this feature request.
Sincerely,

Websites that are known to track you
I am trying to switch over to Lumo AI but it’s very hard to stay away from ChatGPT or Claude because they are so well made, so if I could have an option that just doesn’t resolve those websites and doesn’t let me visit them when connected through Proton VPN, that would be awesome.
But it has to be explicit that it is blocking them and that it’s your choice; otherwise people will get mad.2 votes -
Detect when a server has high latency or slow speed and automatically change servers
Sometimes my connection speed seems to become very slow. I often disconnect and reconnect to re-establish a decent connection speed. It would useful if profiles allowed for an option to automatically change servers when high latency or slow speed is detected.
The option could select to reconnect to the best server in the same country or region or globally - based on a function of latency and speed.

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.10 votes -
Stealth on OpenWRT
Can you please develop OpenWRT plugin?
It is really important, because now, unfortunately, there is no way to use Proton stealth on OpenWRT...

I'd like to have the option to set a kill switch for specific applications.
I've used Proton VPN for a while now and there is only two things I miss compared to my previous VPN:
- I'd like to have the option to set a kill-switch for specific applications.
- A VPN Server on the Isle of Man, because it is a very low censorship territory, that is still technically part of the EU.

Don't require login credentials for the Proton VPN browser extension
Why does the Proton VPN browser extension require you to log into your proton account? The mullvad browser extension doesn't require this. It somehow talks to the mullvad VPN app and it just works. Could you please change this for the proton vpn browser extension?

Show server latency
without knowing if I'll get good latency makes people hesitant to subscribe for premium plans. Let people browse the servers and see the latency they get even if it's locked out for free users.

Update the Proton VPN GTK
The proton vpn app for android/iOS looks great. Why not bring the same design to Linux? I don't know about the desktop app for macOS/windows but, frankly, it looks terrible on Linux. Please redesign the Proton VPN GTK app. Thank you very much.

Dedicated IPs , Rotating IPs , Double VPN Costumized
Dedicated IPs in major countries like the USA, Europe, Japan — something like NordVPN and Surfshark do, where we purchase dedicated IPs and choose the countries. However, it would be nice to include some shared dedicated IPs in the paid plan, with an additional fee option to have your own Proton IP in a country of your choice — Nord and Surfshark offer this.
Double VPN like Surfshark does — you choose both countries, the entry and exit points. It's not meant to eliminate or improve Secure Core, but rather for a customized Double VPN experience.
Rotating IPs — another…

Proton curated NetShield allowlist for privacy-respecting services
Instead of implementing per-user domain whitelists across all VPN apps, Proton could maintain a curated allowlist of privacy-respecting domains (like www.startpage.com) that are exempt from NetShield ad blocking.
This could be either:
enabled by default, or
offered as a single opt-in toggle.Pros: Simple implementation (DNS-side only), consistent across all platforms, supports privacy-friendly business models.
Cons: Requires Proton to curate and maintain the list and some users may disagree with inclusion criteria or prefer maximum blocking without exceptions.

Make python dependencies exsist in venv
Lock down the environment and avoid dependency issues by using venv for python dependencies, or let the users install these using UV add to a contained python project. using system dependencies for python is a rough way to go it seems.

Improved omarchy support
The cli on omarchy is fine except it requires gnome keyring which requires you to put the password in when booting omarchy. And the gui app is ok also. But an officially supported omarchy gui with a menubar plugin would be great. This year is the year of linux and omarchy adoption is on!

Detect DNS leak and warn ProtonVPN users
An encrypted DNS (Called DoH - DNS over https) is said by you (in the later linked article) to "prevents our software from being able to see the DNS queries. This makes it very hard to block or reroute them."
causing DNS leak, which can be considered a serious privacy compromise IMO.
https://www.dnsleaktest.com
https://ipleak.netIt seems to be too severe not to warn user about it in case it is doable from the side of your application. I guess your app tries to read the DNS request and if is encrypted, it fails and can do some action, like displaying…

burner numbers
Can Proton VPN add a feature so we can add a burner number when needed, so we can make calls anonymously to
keep our primary number hidden and our conversations untraceable, ensuring our identity always stays protected?Best regards,
