Add a timer to do automatic release and re-connect (adding reconnect to lowest # connections server in group)
I find, on the Mac at least, that my VPN connection will become saturated and will fail after a while. I can solve this by disconnecting and then reconnecting. This seems to flush the tcp/ip stack and allows for network traffic to begin again. I then see qBitorrent is transferring on multiple connections again. Sometimes I need to restart qBitorrent as well, but not nearly as often. I don't know if this is a bug in the tcp/ip stack or how Mac handles the traffic on an OS level. It may also be from the saturation in the network stack…

BPay for ProtonVPN subscription payments.
So far as I can see, it's not possible to pay for a new or existing ProtonVPN subscription via BPay. This is somewhat limiting/inconvenient for those of us who don't shop online, have credit cards, or otherwise prefer to have as few bank cards/accounts as we can reasonably get away with. BPay offers a secure and convenient means to pay for services without needing a seperate card that, in some cases, will never be used for anything but those payments (ranging from once a month to once every two years).
To my knowledge, there are no disadvantages nor other reasons…

Import/Export configuration
As time goes by and new profiles, split tunnelings... are being added, if I have to change my mobile/desktop/laptop or I buy a new device, I will have to check everything in order to replicate the configuration in the device, and apply the configuration manually. Or even worse: if one of the devices dies, I will lose the configuration.
Hence, it would be good to have the option to export & import configuration files.6 votes -
Forward More Than One port
Currently with dynamic forwarding a single port can be forwarded for P2P connections. Sometimes more than a single port is necessary (an obfuscated port). It would be helpful if we had the ability to forward multiple ports within the GUI rather than searching for third-party solutions.

Search for VPN server
I'd like the ability to quickly type and search for VPN servers/countries, on both iOS and Mac. Surfshark does this and it's such a friendly way to quickly switch to different countries based on my needs. on protonvpn, I have to scroll and search for the flag/abbreviation of the country, which is not a great UX

Subject: False positive blocking ConvertKit
Hi Proton Team,
I’ve noticed that ConvertKit email links are being blocked by NetShield even when set to “Malware only.” Specifically, these domains fail to resolve while NetShield is active:
ck.page
convertkit-mail.com
convertkit.com
These are legitimate marketing/redirect domains used by ConvertKit, a major email service provider. With NetShield disabled, the links work fine.Could you please review and remove these domains from the blocklist so they are not blocked in Malware-only mode?

Reconnect option for active profile.
Please add an option to reconnect the active profile. Right now, if I'm using the Fastest Country profile, and I see that my server load is high, I have to disconnect and then connect again, leaving my network open for a second.
I assume that a proper reconnect button would avoid any lapse in VPN coverage.

iOS widget background: remove gradient
I’m grateful for the iOS vpn widget, but the gradient background is an eyesore.
Other apps use a consistent, flat background in their widgets, dark gray in dark mode, and white in light mode. This means widgets from different apps still look nice when arranged into a “dashboard” next to each other — until I add the Proton widget, with its gradient-fade background.
I suppose the gradient is part of the Proton branding but it gets in the way here and should be skipped.

Change the Firefox extension icon based on the split tunneling status on the current domain
Currently, when the user has enabled split tunneling in the ProntonVPN extension for Firefox, the extension icon always remains green even on sites where the VPN is disabled. This can be confusing, especially if the user does not remember which sites they are using split tunneling on and which they are not. In my opinion, it would be much clearer if the icon showed a green padlock on sites where the VPN is active, and a red open padlock on sites where split tunneling disables the VPN.
This request applies both to normal split tunneling and to Inverse Split Tunneling…

"Disconnect" Button over hover profile in profile section
In the profile section, when connected to a particular profile, it should show the button of "Disconnect" button when hovering over that same profile again. Right now, it shows the connect button again, even if it is connected to that profile.

iOS Dynamic Island VPN Indicator
On the iPhone Dynamic Island at the top of the screen, it would be useful for proton vpn to utilize this space that Apple allows devs to use for indicators such as showing that the vpn status if connected or not.
Currently you have to swipe down to see if the vpn is active or if you go into the app to check.
Other apps including other vpns use this Dynamic Island as an indicator for a quick glance/stuatus.

Update extension UI
The extension UI seems to be working with the OG UI, it would be nice to have it updated to a more recent version with new features such as split tunneling being an inclusion list rather than exclusion so I have specific websites (like social media) where I want my vpn on and others I want it off.

Overcome web site blocking via Google ReCaptcha to identify and block Proton VPN
Most sites are now embedding the Google ReCaptcha technology that identifies and blocks silently all Proton VPN servers! This forces the VPN user to add subscription to residential servers (over Proton VPN) to overcome the ReCaptcha blocking. Or to drop completely the vpn!

Kill Switch option in Profiles
Hi ProtonVPN team,
I’d love to see an option added to the profile creation process that lets users set up Kill Switch preferences right from the start. Specifically, it would be great to choose whether the Kill Switch is enabled or disabled for that profile, and also select between the standard and advanced modes.
This would give users more control over how each profile behaves based on their needs. For example, someone might want a profile with the advanced Kill Switch enabled for maximum protection, and another with it off for more flexibility.
Thanks for your time and for continuously…

Support Usage across multiple local users on Mac
Currently some Proton apps are unusable on a Mac with multiple local users. For instance if you have Mac User A and Mac User B both with Proton accounts (PA and PB)
Mac User A installs Proton VPN and Proton Drive and logs into each with PA
Mac User B uses "Switch Users" to log into their local Mac account and tries to use Proton Apps
…*Proton VPN: The app will open and Mac User B logs in with their Proton B account but the VPN will never establish a connection. It will say "connecting" but eventually time out with4 votes
