  1. Add random connection button to Chrome extension

    Would it be possible to add a random connection function and button to Chrome's extensions, like the Windows apps have? Thanks.

    Because I need to keep changing IPs, and I don't want to use the same IPs again within a day.

  2. Enabling ProtonVPN in Android through sendbroadcast() action

    Different networks have different requirements. This is why give to the user the possibility to automate connections would be a win for ProtonVPN application (android). For example at work my wifi does only allow VPN over UDP, so I have to create a special profile. I would love to automate this using https://server47.de/automation/ for example (or whatever), it works very well with wireguard ( i.e. https://android.stackexchange.com/a/250566/398905 ).

  3. Register-free access to VPN (critical for countries like Iran)

    In countries like Iran it is very complicated to use proton vpn for very strange reason : it needs registration, and because proton VPN is blocked you CAN'T register. It is very critical thing for countries that block vpn very hard. Recently proton VPN released Stealth protocol. I think it's good idea to let users connect before registering, allow 50-100MB traffic, it is enough to register.

    Once again, for people in countries with strong censorship it will be life saving. Please do it, Stealth is the only protocol that works in Iran.

  4. LAN subnet allowlist in macOS client

    Add an allowlist of LAN subnets for local routing (macOS). I switched from the PC client, which allows a list of allowable private IP addresses to bypass, to the macOS client which only has the generic "Allow LAN Connections" toggle switch. The macOS client has a lot less functionality and customization: It only passes-through on the current local subnet. If you are on a more complicated local network that includes VLANs, for example if you are on the 192.168.0.x side, you cannot go to 192.168.1.x or 10.0.0.2 or 172.16.0.2, etc. It would be nice to be given the option for…

  5. Monitoring network activity

    Concern Proton VPN add-on OR a new Proton service:

    My suggestion is about monitoring every network connection made by apps / process, in real time. It doesn't have to be graphically elaborated but the idea is to know who/what established a network connection from which network adaptor, + Ip if applicable, protocol, time stamp, privilege, network port TO where (ip, and other information, usually outside the lan). The purpose is to be conscious of what communication are made in background of our personal computer such as, for exemple background active connections of a closed web browser, any IOT's, any network…

  6. Monochromatic Sytstem Tray Icon - (Windows)

    I've been using Mullvad VPN and love the option to use a Monochromatic System Tray Icon. It makes the VPN appear as a native feature built into the OS instead of a clunky third-party application. With a Monochromatic System Tray Icon, users would psychologically think of Proton VPN as a natural part of their workflow.

  7. Profiles: Select Multiple Countries

    I would love if there was a way to select multiple country servers for a random pool so when I connect I know I'm connected to one of the preferred countries but a different one each time.

  8. More profile customization with independent features (MacOS 13+)

    I would love if we could create a profile with different configurable and automatic combinations allowed as well as multi-select options. So for instance say I wanted to connect to a p2p server in whatever country (don't care) I cannot currently just do that, I need to specify P2P then specify a country rather than random or fastest option (for country selection).

  9. Country-specific config for wireguard

    For OpenVPN it is possible to download a country-specific configuration file which - when used - connects to the fastest available server.
    Please provide country-specific configs also for wireguard - currently I can only download a config for a specific server in a country.
    Thank you!

  11. Revert changes

    VPN accelerator, LAN connections, split tunneling, and Moderate NAT, most important being able to select a country (US, Japan or Netherlands) now you have zero choice and get put in a country with no data privacy laws for example.

    The marketing people really hit Proton hard over the last few years you see more and more features being eroded away from free users. I thought the paid users supported the free users in their business model? was that not the ethos of Proton VPN years ago? Everyone has the right to privacy?

    The blatant limitations being imposed makes you wonder…

  12. Password Protect Proton VPN to lock settings & block ability to exit or disconnect

    Proton VPN could really use ability to lock the settings & block ability to exit or disconnect.

    It needs this to prevent kids from making changes or other users from making changes, exiting, or disconnecting.
    Somewhat similar to what is used with Proton Pass Security but need to also prevent the ability to exit or disconnect, or to switch servers.

  13. Static Port forwarding

    Please change the dynamic port forwarding to static port forwarding why:

    In my BitTorrent client I have +200 torrents, dynamic port is boring because EVERY TIME I connect to a server I have to change the port in the BitTorrent client settings and the re-announcement is really long for all my torrents.

    Please add to the ProtonVPN dashboard panel or in the application, the possibility to add static port like MullvadVPN do, example for the ProtonVPN Plus plans add the possibility to add 10 random forwarded ports.

    Plus static forwarded port may work if you use the manual configuration: OpenVPN…

  14. Sign in automatically when opening browser, connect automatically

    In Firefox I have to sign in every time I open the browser, then hit the connect button. I would also like to be able to set a default vpn to connect to, and have favorite servers listed at the top so I don't have to search. Also would like to stop those pop up windows that show up on every tab until I cancel them asking for credentials.

  17. Ubuntu Touch App

    Presently in the mobile operating system of Ubuntu Touch it is a cumbersome manual process to get a VPN working. Given that such users are a privacy focused bunch, and with Volla and Fairphone offering Ubuntu Touch as a pre-installed operating system option, it might be worthwhile for Proton to make an Ubuntu Touch port of the ProtonVPN app. Shouldn't take too much change to an existing Ubuntu compatible app, and would certainly garner new Proton subscriptions as the only easily set up VPN for the OS.

  18. Add the option to disable the connected taskbar icon overlay

    I have a very minimal taskbar with custom icons for everything, and this doesn't fit the theme. I'm sure there's others that have a similar problem and would like to be able to turn off the icon overlay for when connected. I think the option to have only a disconnected overlay or both would be useful too. I'm always using the vpn so the normal state is the one alerting me with an icon and the abnormal one isn't.

  20. Unblocking every outbound port on protonvpn's https proxies (web browser addons)

    Some websites use a port which is not 80. And, for some reason, those are blocked by ProtonVPN's HTTPS proxies used in their browser addons.
    This is a request for unblocking it.
