2. 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.

3. Tailscale exit nodes

   I would love to be able to use Proton VPN as exit nodes on Tailscale.

   They recently announced support for Mullvad exit nodes, and I'm sure they would be interested in adding more options:

4. Proton VPN for Windows - reconnecting

   When a Windows 11 PC sleeps/hibernates the VPN client does not reconnect and "spins". You have to fully close out of the VPN app, relaunch and then reconnect.

5. Change or revert the new look.

   Companies seem to always go back and forth with this constantly in these industries with making things look more compact. Usually all this does is make it take more clicks to get to something that the user needs to get to making it more inconvenient to use. Function over form please. When trying to pick a certain or specific connection now it takes three to four clicks going through menus when it used to just be a list.

6. Ugly Green. Offer additional VPN app theme color choices.

   The new redesign is great, except for the ugly grandma kitchen green theme. Also, why is the best look you could come up with is some fading fog of war looking filter as if it's a video game from 1997?

   If you're going to stick with the fog of war look, then at least allow us to choose the colors.

   I'm cool with all of the other green, it's just that fog look you got. It's really the only theme color that dominates the entire space. I'd much rather that filter be disabled, but if you won't let us disable it then at least let us change the color.

7. Linux beta client: Allow server ranges for the text options

   Currently, one can set two different text boxes in the beta Linux client: "Auto connect", which accepts country codes, a specific server (such as NL#42) or "FASTEST". And then there's "Pinned tray connections", which accepts country code or specific server, multiple entries, comma-delimited.

   While we're waiting for a better GUI, I would like to have the option of picking a specific range of servers for "Auto connect", such as: US#18-25 (for example).

   As well as for "Pinned tray connections", choosing a ranged server entry would pick the best option within that range. A typical "Pinned tray connections" would look like this: NL#42, JP, US#10-18, IT.

8. Allow Killswitch to be enabled with Split Tunnel

   Currently, the app will not allow you to use the Split Tunnel feature if you have the Killswitch enabled. Having migrated from Private Internet Access, I was used to having this possibility with their client and would love to see this in Proton VPN as well.

   Having some exceptions configured to bypass the VPN should not completely block the killswitch feature and open the risk of IP leaks.

   I would be okay with the VPN app completely killing my bypassed connections as well, it wouldn't even have to be gracefully respecting those. That would just be a nice-to-have.

10. Game Server Proximity Connection

    This feature could enhance the gaming experience for VPN users. Upon initiating a gaming session, the VPN would identify the location of the game server to which the user is connected. The VPN would then select and connect to its own server that is geographically closest, or lowest ping to the game server. This process ensures optimal latency and performance by minimizing the distance data has to travel between the VPN server and the game server, potentially providing a better gaming experience.

    Functionality:

    1.  Initial Connection: When a user starts a game, the VPN detects the connection to the game server.
    2.  Server Analysis: The VPN identifies the physical location of the game server.
    3.  Optimal Server Selection: The VPN then scans its network to find the server closest to the game server’s location.
    4.  Seamless Re-routing: The VPN automatically switches the user’s connection to this optimally located server.
    

    This approach could improve gaming performance for VPN users, particularly in multiplayer online games where latency is a critical factor.

11. Script managing WireGuard ProtonVPN for Linux using CLI only

    I've put together a POSIX shell script allowing you to use ProtonVPN in Linux using only the native wireguard and Linux core utils having the script managing all aspects of the network such as routing and which DNS server to use when the VPN is up or not.

    It works very well for me so I brushed it up with more thorough error handling, documentation and examples in case more people have an interest in it.

    Basically it allows you to generate any number of protonvpn-wg-configurations you like and put them in your /etc/wireguard folder, the script selects up one of them based on certain criterias you decide (it can for example automatically determine the peer with lowest latency to you) and brings up the VPN fixing DNS (if you wish) and routing, cleaning everything up when the VPN is brought down.

    I've written it with network managers in mind and am using it with ifupdown in Debian.

    I've put it github for download:

    https://github.com/fraxflax/proton-wg

    Feel free to use, modify and distribute as you like.

    Proton is welcome to put it on their pages if they like.

14. Provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" connections

    First, regarding the WINDOWS client, thanks for the option to "pin" recently used locations/servers (connections). Much appreciated!

    REQUEST: To improve the "pin" function on the WINDOWS client (and potentially other clients), please provide an option to manually sort (change order of) "pinned" locations/servers (connections).

    Currently, on the WINDOWS client, you offer options to "unpin" and "remove" pinned connections.

    In addition to "unpin" and "remove" options, I'd like to have an option to "move" where each pinned connection appears within the list of "pinned" connections. For example, upon selecting the proposed "move" option on the WINDOWS client, I hope to be presented with at least one or more (preferably all) of the following options for moving a pinned connection:

    (a) "move up one" position in the list,
    (b) "move down one" position in the list,
    (c) "move to top" of the list, and
    (d) "move to bottom" of list list.

    Or as a more "ideal" solution, upon selecting the proposed "move" option, I'd like to be asked to type a number corresponding to the position (in the list of pinned connections) where I want the particular connection to appear, i.e., moved to position 1, 2, 3, etc. But I imagine that such an "ideal" solution may be difficult to implement. And if so, please at least implement something similar to the above suggested (move up, down, top, bottom) solution.

    Related to the above request, please also consider providing an option to manually sort "profiles" as described in the following suggestion: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/49712741

16. 4.1.13 where is the checkmark in the icon in the tray - this should be checked before every release.

    I don't have a flicker. It's worked before. green check-mark in the tray icon is not appearing today with latest release. It should be checked (no pun intended) before every release. this is not the first time I've had this issue, I had it on at least one other release.

17. Allow Users to Choose VPN Protocols on AppleTV App

    Currently there is no way to pick VPN protocols within the AppleTV app, this causes problems when certain networks such as hotels block common VPN protocol traffic like WireGuard and OpenVPN. Stealth mode would be ideal in the circumstance, but currently only the fastest option is supported.

18. All VPN servers on a global network (a similar feature to Surfshark Nexus)

    Currently on Surfshark they have options such as RotatingIP (without any disconnections) thanks to Nexus. This is their name for having all of their VPN severs connected on a global network. This also can change the users server incase of over crowding without any loss of service. (For more info on what it does you can google Surfshark Nexus). Would be nice for a similar feature on Proton.

19. After update, icon is not in the taskbar

    On Windows 10.

    Since I have about 20 apps that add an icon to the taskbar, I hide many of them.

    I want Proton VPN to be in the taskbar so I know if it is connected or not.

    When Proton VPN is updated, the icon disappears and I have to go back into the task bar settings to re-enable it.

    Thanks

20. Make a Lite version of Proton apps (VPN, drive, mail, e.t.c), for people on older android devices like android 5 (or even android 4)..

    Since the majority of proton apps need a minimum of android of 8 and 9 (except for calendar), I think this would be a good idea for both sides (customers and business). People on lower/older end devices get to use proton services, which also leads to the point of more potential customers. Would really like this to happen. kind regards
