Use Split Tunneling to Improve VPN Performance
Split tunneling allows you to route some of your internet traffic through the VPN while letting other traffic access the internet directly. This can significantly improve performance, especially for activities like streaming or gaming, I had an assignment to research on how can we improve VPNs, so I got this idea from there. When I was working on this idea I hired a research consultancy that helped me in researching the important aspects about this topic.

[Mobile] Network Specific WL/BL Activation
I would love the ability to be able to have a setting that allows me to whitelist or blacklist specific networks to automatically activate and deactivate VPN connection.
For instance, if I come home my mobile device doesn't need to use the VPN anymore and it would be whitelisted. Once my phone connects to <home> network VPN deactivates and you get a popup welcome home VPN disconnected or something.
When I go into work or an area that I don't necessarily trust such as a Starbucks or Public Wifi I would like it to automatically connect to the VPN and…

Missing data transfer notification option
In the notification area, only the country and total upload/download and speed since the start of using the application are displayed. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to specify, for example, daily download/upload or weekly or monthly or select a date from when to when. This option would be great for tracking a monthly data plan

PC Performance
I would appreciate if the Windows VPN Client could get a "minimalist" or "performance" mode with reduced footprint on system resources. Even on a modern high end PC and especially when using other Proton apps at the same time, multitasking and working, it adds up.
Maybe we could get a setting for a minimal UI without all the fancy elements and animations? Even closed to the sys tray and being in the background, the VPN uses over 400MB RAM + dedicated GPU VRAM while constantly drawing GPU utilization causing unnecessary interrupts. It's undesireable when using the VPN while doing other…4 votes -
Perpetual NetShield Statistics
I think being able to see the total amount of ads blocked and data saved perpetually would be pretty cool. I'm especially referring to the android VPN app as the statistics reset every time the VPN is turned off or changed.

Add Wireguard PSKs
It'd be nice upon config generator if a PSK was generated for stronger cryptography when using Wireguard.

Re-ordering of Created VPN Profiles
I would like the ability to drag/drop and freely change the order of my created VPN profiles so that some profiles appear at the top and are more visible than others.
I have created more profiles over time and have found that I use some profiles more often than others, but unfortunately I have to remember to scroll down to get to them.
This would also be nice for organization, like grouping profiles of a similar purpose together.4 votes -
Ability to Blacklist VPN Servers
The auto-connect profiles often connect me to servers that are nearly unusable (super low speed, high latency, inconsistent and poor quality of connection), so I often end up having to manually reconnect to a different server.
I would like the ability to blacklist/block certain VPN servers and regions, so that the client does not include it in the auto-connection algorithm.

Cidr Notation for split tunneling
I currently have multiple subnets, and adding every single host I'd need a split tunnel is impractical. By allowing CIDR notation on the configs, we could allow 10.0.3.0/24 and have a whole slice of the network bypass the VPN.
As a plus, adding a per-network switch possibility would avoid my 10.0.1.1 (for instance) to be allowed without a VPN on public WiFi, for instance (which ties nicely to the "trusted networks" feature request)

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.

Please add an option to show current country via mouse-over in the tray
The topic says it already. Instead of having to open Proton VPN to check which country is active, just hovering over the tray/notification area symbol should give us the info, to which country we are connected.

Never Auto Connect to a VPN in My Location
Inside Kill Switch, I want a check for never auto connect to a vpn in my country.
Sometimes I connect to country X, but I have connectivity issues which causes VPN to disconnect, then it retries to connect again multiple times.
When connection is back online, it connects to a VPN in my country, which is exactly what I'm avoiding.4 votes -
A system for transfering included/exluded application paths when updating versions of ProtonVPN
Right now, user's have to go though and manually recompile the list of included/excluded applications(or IP's) when using the split-tunneling feature. This is more than just inconvenient, it is a security risk, opening the door for increased chances of user error.
The implementation of this feature doesn't have to be complicated and would definitely provide a quality of life increase for the applications user's.
-Thanks

Split-Tunneling App List
The current implementation of Split-Tunneling is good but I ran into a problem adding XBOX GamePass Games to it because the folder permissions does not allow Proton to open the .exe Files. I tried it by adding access rights for my user and for administrators but it still does not work.
My feature suggestion: Add a list of installed or currently running apps that we can easily select for split tunneling.
Or maybe a seperate Feature to add all XBOX App/GamePass Games to the exclusion4 votes -
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…

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.
