  1. Linux: SSH tunnel to a server, then OpenVPN through this tunnel

    Raw OpenVPN is often blocked. So one simple option would be to start an SSH tunnel to the VPN server port 443 or 80 or 53 like this:

    ssh -N -D 127.0.0.1:10000 -oUserKnownHostsFile=<you provide> -p 443 <username>@<vpn_host_IP> &

    then

    sudo openvpn location.protonvpn.tcp.ovpn

    ovpn config would contain setting:
    socks-proxy 127.0.0.1:10000

    This costs nothing but ROI is tremendous: all users of operators where OpenVPN protocol is blocked will be yours.

  2. PotonVPN on ARM Wnndows ARM beta

    Windows on ARM processor is already available as a beta, so I ask you to develop an ARM64 version of your software, which simply requires a new compilation. That's why I'm asking you to make sure there are more Windows tablets to buy. I don't want you to miss the trend. That's exactly how I'm rooting for it in the Linux Debian area.

  4. Stop Auto Renewal

    Why would anyone sign up for auto renewal without even trying your product. Do you have such low confidence in your product that you must include auto renewal in order to keep your business going? This should not be part of your business model. Once you pay for a plan (*auto renewal required) they make it as difficult as possible to remove auto renewal. I'm a new paying customer and this is how you treat me. I've wasted so much time and effort trying to figure out how to stop auto renewal, only to find that I must downgrade my…

  6. Use Hardware / Security Key as 2FA

    Allow Hardware Security Keys (FIDO2 like YubiKey) as a backup 2FA for ProtonVPN (like all the other Proton Services). Currently Proton VPN only supports TOTP authenticators for 2FA which is inconvenient especially when all the other Proton services work fine with security keys.

  8. Diskless Servers on SecureCore

    Maybe this is already being done as of recent, but i can't find confirmation anywhere that the infrastucture is configured in such a manner.
    Would increase my already high trust witrh Proton, for ProtnVPN, to confirm they run their servers diskless, at least in the SecureCore.

  11. Configure which servers NOT to connect to.

    Some sites may refuse to connect.
    Therefore, we would like users to be able to configure VPN servers that they do not use by creating profiles.

  12. Adult content - move out states that Require ID Verification or create safe list of states

    Consider moving servers out of states (like Virginia, for example) that require ID verification to access "adult content." Failing that, please allow VPN users to create a list of "safe" states or else to block/opt out of those that aren't safe for online browsing.

    Allowing a pre-selected list of states would also be helpful for sites that only operate in certain regions of the U.S. and block access to states where they aren't in business.

  13. Show dock / taskbar tooltip in Ubuntu

    Not all, but lots of programs have a tooltip on mouseover on the dock / taskbar.
    For ProtonVPN I had the wish of being informed on mouseover: "Connected to AB-CD#99".
    (Similar for ProtonMail "Connected: myemailaddress@proton.me")

    I would really love to have the netshield an maybe even the killswitch settings in the VPN Plugin for Browsers. There are some reasons why I dont always have my VPN Client on but I would really love to use the VPN in my Browser all time with all the settings.

  18. Improve screen reader support

    As a screen reader user it can be fairly tricky tabbing around the interface to get access to all the various sections and areas of the app such as viewing the server list by country. You can get most things done through Windows command prompt which is excellent but for most people it would make life so much easier if screen reader accessability was taken into consideration during development of the app. For that reason I find it quick and simple grabbing server configs from my account using either Openvpn or Wireguard for windows as the interfaces and menues in…

    It often happens that in random or fastest mode, a connection is established through servers in countries that are not desirable for many people.
