1. Fix the icon on the Windows VPN App

   The system try icon displays as "connected" even when it is not. This is problematic for obvious reasons.

2. Add the ability to set and use shortcuts for the Proton VPN browser extension

   Browser extensions support (at least on Firefox) to set custom keyboard shortcuts for certain actions.

   It would be great if Proton VPN browser extension had shortcuts for actions such as adding the current website to the split tunneling list.

3. mac app

   i expect it will happen eventually, but any plans to update the Mac VPN app to be on par with the excellently recently redesigned windows and iOS apps? It greatly enhances useage and would be nice on mac. I understand if it isn't a priority , though

4. Add a timer to do automatic release and re-connect (adding reconnect to lowest # connections server in group)

   I find, on the Mac at least, that my VPN connection will become saturated and will fail after a while. I can solve this by disconnecting and then reconnecting. This seems to flush the tcp/ip stack and allows for network traffic to begin again. I then see qBitorrent is transferring on multiple connections again. Sometimes I need to restart qBitorrent as well, but not nearly as often. I don't know if this is a bug in the tcp/ip stack or how Mac handles the traffic on an OS level. It may also be from the saturation in the network stack because of the torrent client causing massive traffic. Regardless, a simple disconnect and reconnect usually fixes it.

   I believe this would also solve another issue. The VPN stays connected regardless on a specific server. It does not do a smart round robin check to see which server has the least traffic in the particular country group and then reconnect to the one with the lowest # connections. Theoretically the lowest traffic as well, but that would assume a fixed amount of traffic on each connection and we know that is not true.

   An automated timer based disconnect and reconnect option would solve a couple of issues:
   1) Fix the over saturated network issues that cause transfers to stop.
   2) Automatically disconnect and reconnect to the server with the lowest number of active connections, and potentially less traffic.

   • Make it so the reconnect only happens within the same country group as originally selected so that torrents stick to torrent friendly servers, etc.

5. Option to exclude servers by city/state/country

   Option to exclude servers by city/state/country. It's no secret why many U.S. users flocked to ProtonVPN in recent users. It sucks to be automatically connected to servers in the state we're trying to get around, even if that is the fastest connection.

7. Add Proxy capabilities to VPN servers

   Proton, could you add proxy servers or modify/add your current servers to expose a proxy feature?
   I will try to explain what i am trying to do:
   I want to have my OpenWRT router connected to one of your secure core servers. After that i would like to be able on my laptop:

   1. See US content: okay, exit to a US proxy
   2. See japanese content: okay, exit to a JP proxy Etc...

   This is very flexible and i just need to encrypt the traffic 1x time (to your secure core server) because afaik proxy traffic is mirrored, isn it?

   I would love that, being secure, fast and flexible!

   If this approach is currently doable, could you advice me on how to do it? Please, VPN connection on my router is mandatory.

8. Enable custom VPN profiles & seamless multi‑VPN switching on Android (shared kill‑switch)

   Android only permits one active VPN at a time, which forces me to disconnect Proton VPN whenever I need to use my work OpenVPN or my home WireGuard tunnel. Because the kill‑switch is tied to the active tunnel, I lose protection during each switch.

   What I’d like:

   • Import custom VPN configs (.ovpn / WireGuard .conf) directly in the Proton VPN app and save them as separate profiles.
   • Profile orchestration: let the app switch between Proton, work, and home VPNs without manually closing the current tunnel first.
   • Smart kill‑switch: keep the kill‑switch engaged during the transition, blocking traffic until the newly selected tunnel is fully up.

   Why it matters:

   Allows professionals who need multiple VPNs (corporate, personal, Proton) to stay protected continuously. Provides a unified experience instead of juggling several apps or scripts. Improves security and convenience for Plus/Visionary users who already pay for advanced features.

   Thanks for considering this enhancement!

10. Configure quick connect Proton VPN in Samsung routines

    I'd like to turn on the VPN automatically when I'm outside my home wifi and turn it off when I'm home again, this should work via routines but it only lets me add a VPN if it's configured in settings and not through an app. Is there an option to get Proton VPN configured natively in the VPN settings?

11. Allow at least wildcarding of file paths for split tunnel rules

    It would be nice to allow wildcards or folders or some other means of defining more general split tunneling rules beyond pinpointing a single exact executable path.

    For instance, Discord.exe always changes its subfolder in your %AppData%/Local/Discord every time it updates to include the version number. I.e.
    %AppData%/Local/Discord/app-1.0.9218/Discord.exe

    It would be cool to add it as maybe *Discord.exe or something. Or, maybe as a folder:
    C:/Users/blah/AppData/Local/Discord/

    Currently, I am forced to re-add it every single Discord app update. Unfortunate given that this poses an existential IP leak threat, since in order to add the latest Discord.exe path, it first has to update and immediately launch itself.

13. Connect Proton VPN on more than one device

    Be able to connect to Proton VPN on more than one device with the free plan! I don't think its fair we have to pay to have my phone and laptop connected at the same time. This should be a standard security feature across all devices. This way I can browse the internet more safely by hiding my location. Please consider making Proton VPN available to connect to more than one device with the free plan!!

15. macOS - Enhanced support for fast user switching

    Currently, it appears that ProtonVPN does not support multiple ProtonVPN users of the same macOS machine, while using fast user switching.

    After fast switching to a second user who also launches ProtonVPN, any attempt to establish their own VPN connection is unsuccessful. If the second user's instance ProtonVPN remains open, this also causes the original user to be unable to connect if their account is later returned to.

    Logging out rather than fast switching does not appear to cause the same issue. Nor does manually closing ProtonVPN before making a fast switch to another user.

    Other VPN providers enable multiple users to establish their own VPN connections in this way, handling the making and breaking of connections while fast switching between accounts. The inability to do so is a significant drawback for ProtonVPN users on macOS if fast user switching has to be used for other reasons.

16. browser extension

    The browser extension needs a bit of rework because it severs the connection a lot of times when it's on, regardless of whether it's a secure core or normal connection. It could also include CleanWeb, so it's not just in the desktop app, and also it could be more specific, ic uBlock Origin, so it could block scripts and have special filters. And the ui could do a bit of rework too.

18. Smart Double Kill Switch (No, this is not Secure Core)

    NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SECURE CORE

    The ability to have two servers, one being the “active” one and another one being a “passive” one, like for aircraft radio, allows for quick switching if one of the servers is not avaliable and also if the connection drops on one, this could be added to Kill Switch to jump immediately onto the 2nd server without any connection interruptions. So like if a server fails you jump immediately onto a 2nd without any drop in connection. Like VPN Accelerator but one server just not sending anything through

19. ProtonVPN Docker App

    It would be amazing to have ProtonVPN natively support Docker.

    There is a github project that had limited support for this, but seems to be broken now that the logicals API (https://api.protonvpn.ch/vpn/logicals) is depreciated.

    A full featured Docker app would be very much appreciated

20. Fix the Proton VPN app - high ram use and lag

    See here - https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1h7g8vs/why_in_the_name_of_god_proton_vpn_takes_so_fing/. Proton VPN uses hundreds of MB RAM. And lags horribly when opened.

    Please investigate and fix this. I assume you're using some sort of HTML framework. Maybe swap to something designed for desktop and speed - like Avalonia or Flutter.
