1. Proton VPN: Add regional DNS resolvers to reduce latency outside Europe

   Many Proton VPN users outside of Europe (e.g. in Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia, and South America) experience slow DNS resolution when using Proton DNS via VPN — especially on mobile apps like Proton Mail, which rely on many secure subdomains.

   Currently, Proton DNS resolvers appear to be hosted in Switzerland (or nearby), which introduces noticeable latency for users on the other side of the globe — even when connected to local VPN servers like Melbourne or Sydney.

   Suggestion: Deploy regional Proton DNS resolvers or mirrors in long-latency zones like:

   Australia (Melbourne, Sydney)
   
   South America (e.g. São Paulo)
   
   SE Asia (e.g. Singapore)
   
   North America West Coast
   

   These resolvers could be:

   Accessible only from Proton VPN IP ranges (to maintain privacy)
   
   Operated under Proton’s strict no-logs policy
   
   Geo-routed from VPN exit nodes to minimize DNS latency
   

   This would significantly improve real-world performance for Proton VPN users, particularly for those accessing services like Proton Mail, where even 150–200ms of DNS delay adds up.

   Thanks for considering this — the service is fantastic, and this would make it even better globally.

2. Ability to see current load of selected servers - web interface or API

   I use the router config exclusively.

   Need a quick way other than visiting the web dashboard and drilling down to find current load of any given server... it's cumbersome to visit the web page, click through the menu, scroll down to country, expand the list, then open browser search to find the server you're looking for.

   An API would be awesome. With an API in place, clients could be built for various platforms (windows, mac, ios, browser extension, etc.)

   Then when server loads goes nuts I can quickly switch (via my router app) to another server I have already configured.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

13. 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

14. 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.

15. 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. 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

19. 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
