1. Better support for GNOME's "Background Apps" feature

   Not every Linux desktop environment comes out with support for tray icons, the most infamous one for that being GNOME, one of the most popular desktop environments. Since GNOME 44, it focuses on a "Background apps" feature, which uses xdg-desktop-portal to find apps running in the background, with the ability to show them.

   Personally, I must say I like that feature, and would like to avoid installing extensions adding back the tray. At the same time, I'd love it if the Proton VPN was able to start minimized on login in my prefered DE, especially since it's possible for other applications (such as Geary, for example).

   Thank you for considering this feature request, and I apologize if i pointed to incorrect APIs for the task.

2. Improve Discreet Calculator: Keep calculator mode as default after unlocking

   As a ProtonVPN user in a region with strict censorship, I really appreciate the Discreet Icon feature, especially the calculator disguise option.
   Currently, when I enter the secret formula (e.g. “12+21”) and press “=”, the app unlocks and shows the real ProtonVPN interface. However, the next time I open the app, it directly displays the VPN dashboard instead of the normal calculator.
   My suggestion is to make the calculator mode persistent: after unlocking, the app should return to (and stay in) the ordinary calculator interface by default. Only when I deliberately enter the secret formula again and press “=” will it switch to the actual ProtonVPN interface.
   This small improvement would make the disguise much more convincing and secure in everyday use, greatly reducing the chance of accidental exposure if someone else opens the app.
   Thank you for your great work on privacy features!

3. Fix Free Tier Country List: Linux/Config file Shows 10, GUI Apps Display Only 5

   This request addresses an inconsistency across ProtonVPN platforms regarding the number of countries available on the Free plan.

   Currently:

   Linux GUI, CLI, and manual configuration files (OpenVPN/WireGuard) correctly expose 10 free countries, matching what the backend actually provides.

   Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and tvOS apps display only 5 countries in their GUI, even though random connecting to all 10 is possible via backend/API.

   This creates a confusing discrepancy for users and contradicts the behavior of Linux clients and manual configs.

   Proton and web pages also show mixed information (some mention 5, others implicitly reflect 10), further adding to user confusion.

5. per app network traffic view like in Windows Task Manager

   The Task Manager in Windows shows a live per app view of network data traffic. When using Proton VPN, all network activity is aggregated and listed as data traffic from Proton VPN.

   It would be nice if you could see the per app usage in the Proton VPN app.

   When the current download or upload traffic is uncommonly high, I would usually check which app is responsible, perhaps you might want to stop the process. Currently, you have to guess what causes the traffic.

7. Backup Split Tunneling List

   A way to backup our URLs and IPs to Proton Drive. I recently had to uninstall/reinstall and then had to manually readd my entire list. Would be nice to have a way to backup the list, especially to Proton Drive, to have the peace of mind the data is safe.

10. Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.

    Split tunneling - Exclude one specific URL only.
    On my local network, I have to use a browser to access the settings for my Ethernet box. I could exclude the browser. However, I would prefer to exclude only the Ethernet box URL and be protected for other URLs.
    Note: I haven't found a solution to this problem. My “Allow LAN connections” setting is enabled. It doesn't allow access to the Ethernet box, probably because of the browser session, I guess.
    Thanks

11. WireGuard country config files

    If I want to make a config file from the Proton VPN website and choose to use OpenVPN, I have the option to create a config file for Country, Standard server, or Secure Core. Conversely, if I choose WireGuard (which seems to be the strong recommendation in this post: https://protonvpn.com/blog/old-ovpn-configs), I can only pick from Standard server or Secure Core.

    This may be fine for the occasional ad-hoc connection, but is not ideal when creating a config file for a router.

    The Proton VPN website has the option to "Use the best server according to current load and position" when making a config file. That's what it is right now, but obviously will change over time. Relying on the same server may prove problematic if that's the only server configured and it goes down or becomes overloaded (assuming that Proton VPN and/or VPN client software will try another config if the first selected doesn't work).

    Given (plus tier) country configs are already available for OpenVPN, it'd be great to see the same feature available for WireGuard.

12. Add an VPN endpoint to the Faroe Islands

    Hi Proton VPN team,

    I’m writing to request the addition of a Faroe Islands server to the Proton VPN network. Many Faroese students studying abroad and are unable to acces content from ect. local tv stations.

    CURRENTLY, NO VPN PROVIDER OFFERS AN ENDPOINT THERE, which limits our ability to participate fully in these programs. Due the Faroe Islands small size, not many other countries cover local events there.

    Adding a Faroe Islands node would not only serve the local population (~50 k residents) but also attract a niche market of international students and researchers interested in Faroese culture.

    Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards

    A homesick student

14. Wireguard Configuration Page

    On the Wireguard configuration page, instead of limiting server options for users, how about builtding a filter that would allow users to select the country and city/state. This would allow the list to be generated on demand thus allowing users to select the best server for their use case. This should also minimize the over head of providing the full list and also allowing it to filter out servers that are under maintenance. I think this would be huge imprrovment for usability and could improve customer satisfaction.

15. Option to quickly switch to a different VPN server

    About once a day, I resolve some connectivity issue by connecting to a different VPN server. Doing this is almost the only way I directly interact with ProtonVPN. The process often goes:

    1. Disconnect
    2. Connect
    

    But sometimes, Autoconnect will keep selecting the same server. The process then becomes (Android app):

    1. Disconnect
    2. Connect (recognize same server)
    3. Tap "Countries"
    4. Tap search icon
    5. Type city name
    6. Tap options icon next to city
    7. Tap server of choice
    

    My suggestion: If Autoconnect would disregard servers that I intentionally disconnected from (recently), my experience would be a lot better.
