  1. Browser Extension Split-Tunnelling: allowlist AND blocklist

    Add the ability to choose which websites DO use the VPN (not just which websites should be excluded from the VPN tunnel).

  3. Sort the list of countries by proximity

    This would be really useful for those of us who download via Torrent, every time I want to download via Torrent I have to manually search for the country closest to my country to get the fastest download speed. Which makes me have to scroll down quite a lot, when you do it so many times it ends up being very tiring and that's why I would like the country closest to mine to be at the top of the list.

  4. Bring back Permanent KillSwitch in Linux Protonvpn v4

    Protonvpn v4 on Ubuntu no longer supports the Permanent KillSwitch.
    This poses a Risk if a user forgets to manually start Protonvpn or if a user gets disconnected from a current session.

  5. Revert changes

    VPN accelerator, LAN connections, split tunneling, and Moderate NAT, most important being able to select a country (US, Japan or Netherlands) now you have zero choice and get put in a country with no data privacy laws for example.

    The marketing people really hit Proton hard over the last few years you see more and more features being eroded away from free users. I thought the paid users supported the free users in their business model? was that not the ethos of Proton VPN years ago? Everyone has the right to privacy?

    The blatant limitations being imposed makes you wonder…

  6. Split Tunneling: Two Different VPN Connections Simultaneously

    If technically feasible, I would find it great if two VPN connections could be established simultaneously via split tunneling, for example one for streaming and one for everything else, or one with port-forwarding and at the same time a second one without port-forwarding.

  8. By improving your ad blocker filter list

    I did an ad blocker test on https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html.

    • With VPN turned on I only got 74% of the ads blocked.
    • With VPN turned off and enabled DNS 176.9.93.198 (dnsforge.de) 93% of the ads are blocked! Your VPN service overrides the more powerful ad blocking DNS of dnsforge.de. Please improve your ad blocker.

  9. Reinstate IKEv2 protocol for iOS

    IKEv2 is native to iOS.

    I know there a security issues with the way iOS implements this protocol on iOS.

    But… since often ( in my case as well) a lot of apps offer services which are actually a vpn protocol. Like an adblocker for instance.

    Now… I use to be able to setup 2 vpns simultaneously. One protocol and one personal. This because IKEv2 is native to iOS.

    Now I constantly have to switch!

    Please use a middle ground in this case.

    Reinstate the IKEv2 as a protocol option, but warn users of it’s drawbacks.

    Everybody wins.

    Thanks

  10. Two Design Suggestions

    It's difficult to distinguish "On" or "OFF" on the Mac Menu Bar Icon.

    And the larger screen color should have a light and dark option. While the purple color is dramatic, it's extremely difficult to read.

  11. Headless CLI

    There is little reason why the CLI is not able to run in a headless setup and needs authentication via UI.
    Seems easy to implement and I seem to remember that this once worked?

  12. Add a toggle to your auto renew feature

    Add a toggle auto-renew to your subscription plan. The lack of it gives a semi-predatory vibe that feels out of place in such a trusted and professional company. I understand this may cause losses but your product needs to be more than just a pretty UI. People get VPNs because they don't trust that everyone is continuously monitoring their data and you need to make your company reflect the trust that your customers are looking for.

    For your consideration,

  13. UPnP Port forwarding support

    Support port forwarding using UPnP so that applications can transparently and directly request port forwardings without needing manual configuration.

    Also please add UPnP support, so that applications can query their public IP address.

  14. Add whitelist to Kill Switch

    Allow selecting specific networks (LAN or WiFi) to be excluded from the "permanent kill switch" feature on Windows.
    This would allow me to connect to my LAN without VPN while at home. But whenever I take my notebook somewhere else, it will be offline until a VPN connection is established.

  15. Add more servers in Brazil

    Brazil has been facing some political problems because the president and the highest authorities of the Brazilian justice (STF) have an alignment of ideas with communism and dictators, it is essential that Proton seeks ways to circumvent future barriers in Brazil because they want to censor the internet and social networks, telegram for example has been experiencing problems with some frequency in brazil, and in addition brazil is a continental country, the current servers are all located in São Paulo, I suggest that they add more servers distributed in the main capitals of the country to improve connection speed (Rio…

  16. Split Tunneling - Make selected apps or IP's VPN-only

    When using split tunneling you are able to select which apps or IP's you want to be routed through the VPN. Would it be possible to to also make the selected apps or IP's only work through VPN? This way if the VPN goes down these apps would blocked but you wouldn't need to kill all internet traffic. This is a feature that Private Internet Access has.

  17. Make F1 TV compatibility available in other country than US server

    F1 TV compatibility should be available in other country than US. At least one country by continent. Because For European, it will be too slow to connect to US.

  19. Country-specific config for wireguard

    For OpenVPN it is possible to download a country-specific configuration file which - when used - connects to the fastest available server.
    Please provide country-specific configs also for wireguard - currently I can only download a config for a specific server in a country.
    Thank you!
