ProtonVPN Pass-through and LAN Access
The OpenVPN app allows users to select specific apps that don't get tunneled as well as having an option to "Bypass VPN for local networks." I have several peer to peer apps that use the local network to connect to my computer.

Xray-core(dpi bypass protocol, in authoritarian countries)
We suggest considering Xray-core as an alternative to current VPN protocols. Due to the expanding list of countries using internet censorship. Xray, as a successor to V2Ray, promises significant improvements: higher performance due to an optimized core, support for modern protocols (VLESS, Trojan) and advanced traffic obfuscation (XTLS), which is critical for bypassing DPI and ensuring reliable access.

Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware on GrapheneOS
On GrapheneOS, the updater runs before first unlock (BFU) to grab security patches, but Proton VPN’s kill-switch isn’t Direct-Boot aware. Enabling it brings up the VPN UI BFU, yet no network ever connects, so updates fail until you unlock the device.
Repro:
Install Proton VPN on GrapheneOS (e.g. Pixel 6 Pro 2025.05.15)
Turn on kill-switch
Reboot and stay at lock screen
Watch the BFU updater time out for lack of network
Impact:
Devices miss critical patches until next unlock, extending exposure to exploits.Fix:
• Mark the VPN service as android:directBootAware="true" in AndroidManifest.xml
• Move its config/certs into Device-Protected Storage…24 votes -
Auto shutdown when phone put in airplane mode
I would love for the VPN to automatically stop trying to connect when I place my phone in airplane mode and also have it auto connect when I take my phone out of airplane mode.
While in airplane mode (with no WiFi services, such as on a flight) the application keeps attempting to connect to a server. This significantly drains my battery, unless I remember to manually disconnect it after toggling airplane mode on.

Add Favorite Servers feature
I'm using chrome extension. I have a list of frequently used servers. I like to bookmark them for quick access.
ATTENTION: I am a new user with 3 years subscription. I would have had hard time without this feature. So I will get my money back if this feature is missing. Say with me, you will implement it, and when it's done.
Thank you very much!!!

More Servers Outside of Jurisdictions with Age Verification Laws
With the implementation of age verification laws in the UK, Australia, and many states in the US, as a ProtonVPN user only using the free tier, I don’t want to connect to a server in a jurisdiction where I would have to show my ID. I propose, as a passive endeavor, that when you, the team behind ProtonVPN buys new servers, you avoid putting them in jurisdictions with age verification laws, to give a better chance of the fastest servers being in restrictive locations.

Linux app for arm64 GUI and CLI
Hello, like many users, I use a low-power ARM64 machine for P2P downloads via Torrent. The problem is that there isn't a Linux ARM64 application yet, which prevents me from setting up the Port Forwarding as explained in the guides, since I have to use it through WireGuard instead of the official app.Is this release planned? Thanks.

I2P
I’d like to propose adding native support for the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) to enhance Proton VPN’s offerings.
I2P is a decentralized, anonymizing network that enables secure, private communication, complementing Proton’s existing Tor support. Integrating I2P could:
Appeal to privacy-focused users who use I2P for secure browsing, messaging, or file sharing.
Position Proton VPN as a leader in supporting multiple anonymity networks.
Simplify setup for users, as manual I2P configuration with VPNs can be complex.
Suggested features could include dedicated I2P servers, one-click connectivity (similar to your Tor integration), or optimized settings for I2P traffic (e.g., port forwarding or split…18 votes -
Integration in GL.iNET firmware
Hi
You already integrated Proton VPN into Vivaldi browser (wich is closed source and looks pretty shady). So can you consider integration your VPN into GL.iNET firmware?
I will be really happy with this. And many GL.iNET customers too.
You can see that it is required by this links:

Align Proton VPN versions on Google Play and F-Droid
Currently, Google Play offers the user version 5.11.94.0 (2025-06-06) for installation. At the same time, F-Droid offers version 5.11.39.1 (2025-06-11). I propose to align the versions available in these app stores.

VLAN/Lan access
It should be possible to define routes which are not routed over the VPN. So currently my wifi devices are in a dedicated vlan, if I try to connect to a different vlan then with VPN on, its not possible.

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.14 votes -
Option to exclude servers by city/state/country
Option to exclude servers by city/state/country. It's no secret why many U.S. users flocked to ProtonVPN in recent users. It sucks to be automatically connected to servers in the state we're trying to get around, even if that is the fastest connection.
