  1. Proton VPN feature

    Linux feature request. Please implement a VPN "Pause" feature in the network manager. Right now there is an option to turn off the connection. Netflix will not connect with VPN. It would be nice to have a VPN pause and resume feature.

  2. Include Domain Names in Split Tunneling Exclude list

    Currently, adding a website to the exclude list requires that I first must find out the IPv4 numerical address, which is not easy to do for a lot of people. I eventually found: https://dns-lookup.com

    It would be nice if the exclude list could accept names instead of numbers, it would only require using your own DNS server to return the numerical address to the app as an appended tag for the exclude entry - so the app would still work pretty much the same as before

  3. 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!!!

  7. Start ProtonVPN minimized in tray (Linux)

    When you open ProtonVPN, and then close it, an applet stays active in the systemtray.
    It would be nice to be able to start only the applet at login.

  8. Port Forwarding support for MacOS

    Port Forwarding is available on Windows but there's no ETA about its availability in Mac (OSX).

    MacOS is behind not only in Port Forwarding but also Split Tunneling and that's a lot. Need to priority feature parity.

  9. Auto ReConnect Feature for VPN.

    A auto reconnect feature is needed as when the VPN gets disconnected for some reason Time Out etc. it does not reconnect automatically, it has to be done manually so this is a problem if you are away from your pc or you dont notice it.

  10. Latency display

    When you click on a country, the list of servers for that country appears. The only thing missing is the latency you are getting from that server. For example, I click Estonia, I see all the Estonian servers. Right next to each Estonian server, there would be a number telling you what ping you're getting, like 150ms. I think this feature would be a useful one to add because choosing a faster connection would be easier if you could see the latency. Also, with this ping, for the box that shows your internet speed over a time period of 60…

  11. Add split-tunneling to Profiles

    Add split-tunneling as a customizable option for a Profile. This way if someone frequently uses split-tunneling for various applications, they do not have to go into the settings menu and make the app selections every time.

  12. Profiles: Allow selecting multiple servers

    It would be nice to change profiles to add a checkbox beside the servers in the list so we can select multiple servers to put in the profile and leave out others.

    Ex. I would like only Toronto Ontario servers nothing else in one profile.

    Thanks

  13. What is the point of VPN profiles, if you cannot save the most essential connection settings into them?

    When I use the VPN for everyday web surfing, checking emails, or streaming Netflix, I do not use features like split-tunnel, port-forwarding, or NAT moderation.
    When I use the VPN for P2P file sharing (torrent), instead, I do need to activate the three features I just mentioned.

    Therefore, at the moment I have to open the application settings and change these three manually every single time.

    What is the point of allowing users to setup connection profiles for different purposes, if you cannot save essential connection settings that are clearly an advantage for some of those purposes (that you designed…

  14. Geofence auto-connect

    Being able to set the VPN to autoconnect when it goes to mobile data, certain wifi networks, or all except for certain wifi networks would be super helpful. For example, whenever I am not on my home Wi-Fi it would auto connect, no matter if it is mobile data or a public hotspot, etc.

  15. Reconnect to next best server

    Occasionally I have a slow connection to the "optimal" server or the quality of the connection changes overtime. I would love a single click button to connect to the next best server and not automatically reconnect to the one I was just connected to like it does when I manually cycle it.

  17. Subject: Suggestion for dedicated IPs at Proton VPN

    Dear Proton VPN Support Team,

    I hope you are well. First of all, I would like to praise you for the excellent service you provide with Proton VPN. I am an enthusiastic user of your VPN services and appreciate the security and anonymity they offer me when surfing the Internet.

    However, I recently noticed that some websites tend to block or complicate access from VPN servers. This can sometimes be frustrating, especially if I want to access information or services hosted on certain websites.

    In this context, I would like to give a suggestion. It would be great if Proton…

  20. Add existing Android settings to Android TV

    Today, there is no "Settings" section in Android TV app, which means it is impossible to activate features like NetShield, which would be very convenient to avoid ads on TV.
