Automatic login on the ProtonVPN Linux client
Currently, the ProntonVPN Linux client requires manual login each time. This is really tedious, particularly if the password is very complex. It would be much better if it were possible to log in automatically. This, in particular, is a requirement for automatically starting the VPN client after each reboot.

iOS request - pause VPN
I am often using apps on my phone that will refuse to open if they detect VPN. I would, like the option to pause VPN for 5, 15, 30 mins, 1hr, 24hrs etc (same as NordVPN) so that I can quickly manage my activity on these VPN-phobic apps and then not worry about reconnecting (I often forget to reconnect after).

Netshield improvements on all platforms
Netshield works well for the most part but it does not block as many ad networks as I would have anticipated. Some mobile games still show ads when being played while Netshield is enabled. I understand the usability aspect of things need to work, it would be beneficial to offer different levels of blocking so we could adjust the service to or liking or standards. This could be done by offering different levels like standard, advanced, adult, family or custom block lists that are supported through the app.

Provide a hostname with A + AAAA records for WireGuard dual-stack support
WireGuard only allows a single endpoint address per peer. This means customers who receive both an IPv4 and IPv6 address cannot use both protocols in their WireGuard configuration — they have to pick one.
If you provided a hostname per server with both an A and AAAA record, WireGuard clients would automatically resolve to whichever protocol is available on their network. This would make dual-stack WireGuard setups work out of the box without requiring customers to register their own domain.2 votes -
Dedicated IPv6 Addresses
IPv6 addresses are practically unlimited, unlike IPv4 addresses. Could we please get the option for free dedicated IPv6 addresses?
What I'd like to see:
- Option to use shared (currently available) or dedicated IPv6 address
- Per Wireguard profile
- Open incoming ports - let us host a public web server if we want to!Bonus:
- Ability to regenerate the address, e.g. in the Proton VPN desktop app or the web portal for Wireguard configs.
- DHCP-PD for routers. I don't know if any are supporting it today.27 votes -
Using Proton client as an endpoint or route through existing device with proton vpn with LAN availability.
Please add a way to create make the device as an endpoint.
Similar to NordVPN's meshnet.
This would be especially helpful to use netflix so it shows up as in the same household.4 votes -
Latency
You mention gaming as a usecase but don't display latency for servers.
I've used/am using Proton VPN but since I couldn't know latency without manually testing every server and then logging into the game , I had to get exitlag just for gaming. Please implement at latency information and if possible implement something similar to exitlag so I don't have to have multiple subscriptions.2 votes -
Autoconnect when wifi is lost, disconnect on trusted wifi,
I use a vivo Fold 3, there's no VPN option available. Only from within the proton app.
Like Surfshark, an auto connect when no WiFi would be so good. And then, auto disconnect when on trusted WiFi, would be a great addition. As my router is always connected through proton VPN, there's 2 vpn's active when I'm home. And always need to manually disconnect the VPN ... In 2025... Please add these features.4 votes -
Proton VPN Windows client prevents LAN access. Help!
When the Proton VPN Windows client is connected to the VPN, I am unable to access other PCs on the LAN. If PVPN is disconnected, then the PCs are accessible. The setting in the client to allow LAN access is enabled. The PCs on the LAN all have static IP addresses, as do all the networking devices. So, how can LAN resources be made available when PVPN is connected?

Replace location switch timers with advertisements
The way that the free version of Proton VPN currently works (on mobile, at least) is that the locations users can switch to are randomised, and there are timers that force you to wait between switches. Not only is this annoying for users, but from a business perspective, it doesn't seem very profitable. I understand that these features are here to encourage people to buy the premium version, but that leaves the people who don't want a subscription not being profitable at all. My proposal is to replace the timers and randomisation with needing to watch an ad to switch…

Microsoft Edge for Android Extension
Microsoft Edge on Android now supports browser extensions, yet the number of available VPN extensions is extremely limited. At the moment, only a few providers such as AdGuard, Browsec, and NordVPN are present in the Edge Add-ons store.
Although ProtonVPN already offers an Android application, it establishes a system-wide VPN connection. Many users would prefer a browser-only VPN option that routes traffic only from the browser without affecting the entire operating system. A ProtonVPN extension for Microsoft Edge on Android would address this need, offering a lightweight, flexible, and privacy-focused browsing solution while expanding ProtonVPN’s presence on mobile platforms.3 votes -
Proton as an Internet Service Provider
Obviously this is a pie-in-the-sky idea, but with all of the features provided by Proton, it seems that creating an ISP seems like a reasonable (if not far off) step. Of course access would vary by country as Proton would build ISP infrastructure, and I'm not sure if this has any particular benefits vs using a VPN, but just an idea.

Add options to exclude one's own country from autoconnect in Android TV
On Android TV you can select a favourite country and it should have priority over everything. Apparently this does not work when adding vpn lock through adb. The system calls the Proton VPN app on Android TV and the app autoconnects to the fastest server which, in my case, it's always in my country.
This is not good and, for many, could even be unsafe.

Adding an application name instead of the app's location for split tunneling
give us the option to add the executable name instead adding the file location, some applications after they recieve an update the change the path to the exe file and with the current method i have to go back to protonvpn and add the application back to the list every time, if there was a way to for example tell proton to tunnel the app named "discord.exe" through vpn then after the app receives an update and changes the path i still can use the app with vpn without going through the process of adding it again

Notification if not connected
User sets the time to get notified if they're disconnected for longer than x period.
For users on iOS/android who may temporarily switch off the VPN and forget to toggle it back on, it would be great to have a notification based on a users preference (if not connected for x minutes, notify the user to say they're not connected)

Add VPN auto connect and block if not connected features
I have been using NordVPN on my FireStick and hoped to replace it with ProtonVPN however it is missing a few essential feature to make it useable.
I want my VPN to immediately connect on Startup and remain connected all the time. ProtonVPN on FireStick does not have autoconnection settings and doesn't prevent connection until (and only when) a VPN connection is made.
It is also missing the options to specify my own DNS servers.
Manually connecting each time and loosing VPN connection unknowingly is not acceptable, these are the reasons we want to use a VPN.
Thanks!
