1. Linux CLI connection status

   I use the ProtonVPN CLI on my Ubuntu MATE system. (I don't use the GUI app because I do not use Gnome.)

   It works well and I'm happy with it, but after I enter protonvpn connect and it exits successfully with news of an established connection, I don't know much of anything about the connection itself.

   According to the CLI --help argument the available commands are: ('signin', 'signout', 'info', 'connect', 'disconnect').

   I would like to suggest adding a command to this list, "status". That is, protonvpn status .

   This command would show whether the VPN connection is established or not, which city, and maybe some other basic info (health check, bytes passed, whatever).

   Note that this is different from the existing 'info' command which only shows Proton account login info for the VPN, nothing about the connection itself.

   This would be a big help while managing my VPN connection on my desktop.

2. Automatic MTU negotation

   For protonvpn with wireguard, I need to manually adjust the MTU down due to using a 5g hotspot wifi solution. It would be really nice if the app could automatically negotiate the optimal MTU when setting up, I imagine by just pinging the VPN bastion server with different packet sizes (once authenticated) and adjusting from there.

   Otherwise it would be nice if the app would at least allow you to override the MTU for different underlying networks.

3. Mobile app - Allow "trust wifi network" option

   VPN Always on - for this feature, it would be nice to have a "trust wifi network" option. Like Nord VPN, you can trust a certain wifi network so when you connect to that wifi network it disconnects the VPN. When you disconnect from that network it reconnects to the VPN. You can have a list of trusted wifi networks remembered in the app.

4. Split-Tunneling App List

   The current implementation of Split-Tunneling is good but I ran into a problem adding XBOX GamePass Games to it because the folder permissions does not allow Proton to open the .exe Files. I tried it by adding access rights for my user and for administrators but it still does not work.

   My feature suggestion: Add a list of installed or currently running apps that we can easily select for split tunneling.
   Or maybe a seperate Feature to add all XBOX App/GamePass Games to the exclusion

5. Exclude unwanted countries from the list of random and fastest servers.

   It often happens that in random or fastest mode, a connection is established through servers in countries that are not desirable for many people.

6. Improve error message when trying to connect to a VPN without NetworkManager.service

   I am using Omarchy and when I installed the proton-vpn-gtk-app package and tried connecting, it displayed the generic error message "Something went wrong | An unexpected error has occured". I had to check the logs to figure out that the reason why it was failing was that the NetworkManager.service daemon was not running, because Omarchy uses systemd-networkd. Unless there's a skill issue on my end, I would like to suggest displaying a more clear error message when that happens, so the users quickly know to switch to NetworkManager if they need to use Proton VPN.

7. Correct Panama Servers IP Ranges Problem

   Hello Proton VPN team
   My best wishes for you.

   Recently you launched Panama Servers through of a suggestion that I send you. Now It's working wrong, because when I connect my devices in that servers, the IP address is from USA (usually from Los Angeles) instead Panama, and when I'm using my Panamanian apps automatically is detected that problem and it's impossible to use them.

   Usually the IP address range that I can see when I use Panama server is like 51.179.177.21

   Please help me with this problem to change to correct Panamanian IP Ranges, cause is so difficult to see some contents from my country, play some games and working as well.

   Thanks so much guys

10. Chrome Proton VPN Extension: Randomized server for subscribed account

    This is so weird. I have a family plan.

    For free accounts using the Proton VPN browser extension, it just connects to whatever server is available, but for accounts that are paid, there doesn't seem to be a way to have that functionality.

    I would like to be logged in to the Chrome Proton VPN browser extension, but I would like it to be randomized each time I launch Chrome, just to make it so I don't have the same IP address every time.

    This would be super helpful, and I can't imagine that it would be difficult to implement, since it is basically taking the functionality that works for people who aren't paying and making it also available to people who are paying.

11. Xray-core(dpi bypass protocol, in authoritarian countries)

    We suggest considering Xray-core as an alternative to current VPN protocols. Due to the expanding list of countries using internet censorship. Xray, as a successor to V2Ray, promises significant improvements: higher performance due to an optimized core, support for modern protocols (VLESS, Trojan) and advanced traffic obfuscation (XTLS), which is critical for bypassing DPI and ensuring reliable access.

13. Upgraded VPN for Mail Plus Subscribers

    I have been a Proton Mail Plus subscriber since 2021. As such I'm entitled to use the free version of Proton VPN. I just learned, however, non-mail subscribers can download and set up the same exact free VPN. To be clear, it appears they pay nothing for this. Seems unfair to paid mail subscribers. I would suggest providing an upgraded VPN with more features for Mail Plus subscribers; something short of VPN Plus. After all, there should be some benefit to being a paid mail customer versus a non-paying, non-customer. I recently cancelled my Express VPN subscription so I could switch to Proton VPN. This issue has caused a bit of disappointment. I respectfully request this matter be considered by the decision makers. Thank you for the forum.

14. More language options (Finnish/Swedish)

    Please add the same language options for Proton VPN on iOS/iPadOS, which are already on Proton Email app (29 languages). I wish especially Finnish and Swedish would be added for the VPN app.

    The VPN app for iOS now has 17 different language options.

    Many thanks!

15. Add an VPN endpoint to the Faroe Islands

    Hi Proton VPN team,

    I’m writing to request the addition of a Faroe Islands server to the Proton VPN network. Many Faroese students studying abroad and are unable to acces content from ect. local tv stations.

    CURRENTLY, NO VPN PROVIDER OFFERS AN ENDPOINT THERE, which limits our ability to participate fully in these programs. Due the Faroe Islands small size, not many other countries cover local events there.

    Adding a Faroe Islands node would not only serve the local population (~50 k residents) but also attract a niche market of international students and researchers interested in Faroese culture.

    Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards

    A homesick student

18. Wireguard Configuration Page

    On the Wireguard configuration page, instead of limiting server options for users, how about builtding a filter that would allow users to select the country and city/state. This would allow the list to be generated on demand thus allowing users to select the best server for their use case. This should also minimize the over head of providing the full list and also allowing it to filter out servers that are under maintenance. I think this would be huge imprrovment for usability and could improve customer satisfaction.
