  1. Wireguard pre-shared key

    Please add support for pre-shared key with Wireguard VPN connections. This is to prevent possible quantum computer related attacks, and it should be a low-hanging fruit for both implementation and performance.

  3. Glasswire firewall with Proton VPN integration

    Add a Super firewall like (Glasswire) to proton VPN. This would be especially helpful for android users where you can only have one VPN working at any given time. And Glasswire requires one of those So then you couldn't have Proton VPN running at the same time. Adding this feature will also help reduce transmitted data over cellphone and any data line...

  4. CMD W on Mac

    This is not so much something that went wrong but a way to make the App work a little better on Mac. For Proton VPN when you hit CMD W, or click the red circle, it removes the icon from the Dock but it is still working in the background.
    For most Mac Apps, including Proton Mail, hitting CMD W, or clicking the red circle, closes the visible App but leaves the icon in the dock. This lets you quickly open the App again.

    It would be nice if Proton VPN acted the same way.

  5. Automatic Profile Switching

    I would like to have an option for Proton VPN to detect that I launch a game and thus automatically switch my VPN profile to "Gaming" (just an example name). And once I finish gaming, it should switch back to 'Default' profile.

    Is it even possible to tie 'NAT' and 'Port Forwarding' options to a Profile?

    This would be helpful so that I do not forget about the switching. I play online games and I would need a profile that has Moderate NAT enabled and perhaps Port Forwarding. Outside of gaming, I do not need those.

    This 'context detection' should…

  6. Improving keyboard control of the Windows desktop version

    While I am very happy with all the features the ProtonVPN Windows desktop version offers, one major drawback for me is that I cannot use it without a mouse.

    Quickly cycling through all the buttons using the tab key does not work, or at least not in an intuitive/convenient way. Getting this to work reliably would be very useful for keyboard-oriented users. Keyboard shortcuts within the app would be extremely helpful (maybe even configurable shortcuts, like F1...F12, for directly connecting to the custom profiles).

  7. Can you see about providing a password manager?

    Would be nice to create and include a password manager since you're all about security! :)

  8. use DNS with DoT (dns over tls) or DoH (dns over https)

    This is critical because the most people use a DNS with their own ISP.
    The DNS can leak their true location.
    Your vpn solution is not complete without DNS encryption.

    And please don't forget Linux not just Windows, Apple or Google.
    Thanks

  10. block Line ads ip

    Recently, in Taiwan, using the iPhone app "Line", their advertisement includes daily conversation. Their ugly truth is that "Fruit ID" in iPhone listening everything 24 hrs, recognizes keywords, gives them to Line (also other businesses like yt), then matches them, and sends the advertisement to the Line user (link with the same "Fruit ID"). Many daily work groups use the "Line app" in real life, so I using it.

    I tried the "Letmebe app." The function includes blocking the "Line app" or adding IP. I want to block only advertisement IPs. I guess a VPN can design this function. Here…

  14. Modify Linux app settings when not logged in

    I got into a headscratcher because my gnome-keyring was reset while using the advanced killswitch. After a reboot I was logged out of PVPN and couldn't disable the killswitch since the settings button of the app was disabled. Alternative idea, include this command in the setup guide for Linux so other people with a similar issue can look up the solution from their phone or something: nmcli con delete pvpn-killswitch-perm

  17. Provide Regional Groupings/Pools of Servers

    PROBLEM:
    To enable streaming on some services I have to be "seen" as coming in from a specific geographic region ... such as "San Jose or Bay Area". PBS requires this to associated you with your local PBS subscription for example.

    So I am forced to select a specific server in the area to connect ProtonVPN to. But this creates a problem in that I can't use the "Fastest" feature to ensure I am getting the best speeds. This is particularly a problem when configuring a "Router VPN" connection as it is essentially permanently connected to the same server I…

  18. Add Sub-Region Options for Profiles

    "Fastest" keeps giving me servers that are thousands of kilometres away and definitely not the fastest.

    You already have sub-regions in the server names; I should be able to pick them for profiles.

    (It would be nice to have them on the map, too, like NordVPN does, but that's not critical. It'd probably be nice for your marketing pictures too, as you'd have more triangles for people to see.)

  19. Snap package

    Please make a snap package for the Linux app. It has improved a-lot recently. It's way easier to install an app from snap store than adding new repos to system package manager. Plus the app will appear in Linux store apps and inevitably makes it more popular on Linux devices.
