  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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).

  6. 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…

  7. Submit Linux package updates in official distro repos

    Proton VPN is open source and uses well-known and established components of the NetworkManager stack. Due to these two things, there is virtually nothing standing in the way of the Proton VPN team from building and submitting packages officially to Linux distributions like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, EPEL, etc. Proton VPN is further enhanced by packaging upstream by increasing the availability of Proton VPN software packages in the global software package mirroring network (deterring censorship) and benefiting from improved transparency and openness by building packages through distribution-supported build systems, which are often reproducible.

    The policies of most distros are friendly to…

  9. Show city in UI (top right)

    I've noticed (top right of UI) that ProtonVPN displays location-based information i.e. the country, server, and IP address only, it currently does not include the current city. Adding this piece of information could significantly improve the functionality.

  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

  15. Double vpn

    Today I'm buying Premium on X, it's cheaper in Türkiye. However, I'm in China so I can't connect to many servers (include all those in Türkiye) directly.But I can connect to some servers in Japan.
    So I connected to Japan on my phone, then I turned on hotspot on my phone and enabled "Allow clients to use VPN". After that I connected my computer to the hotspot. Then on my computer I connected to Türkiye. So I connected to Türkiye indirectly successfully. But I need to use 2 devices.
    I hope you can add the feature "Double VPN" to the…

  17. Android improvements (country names, profiles, metrics, random connections)

    A posted this on reddit, but I figured I'd put it here as well.

    I've been a longtime user of ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and am incredibly grateful of everything they've done to make privacy accessible to more people. I also really love the new ProtonMail app. But ProtonVPN has problems.
    To some it up, it seems like functionality has been sacrificed for vague aesthetics.
    Specifics:
    1. The name of the country you are connected to is in tiny text down near the bottom of the screen. This is even worse if you are connected to the "fastest country". Instead most…

  18. 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…

  19. IP Visibility Toggle

    Add the ability to either show or hide your current connected IP address. This feature would be a nice addition for those who stream or share a screen and would prevent accidental IP leaks. Something as simple as an eye symbol next to the IP address or an option in settings to hide the IP address or show it when needed would be a nice addition.
