1. Please add an option to show current country via mouse-over in the tray

   The topic says it already. Instead of having to open Proton VPN to check which country is active, just hovering over the tray/notification area symbol should give us the info, to which country we are connected.

3. VPN icon right mouse menu

   Instead of "Connect" and "Disconnect" options in the R-mouse menu, have one "Connect" option for each defined Profile, plus "Disconnect". No need to open full app to change connection.

4. "Pin / Unpin country" feature, will be so helpful!

   VPN UI suggestion:

   🍄

   "Pin / Unpin country" feature, will be so helpful!

   I randomly choose 3~6 countries a day.
   All with randomly server.
   (because search engine try to mess up my search results)

   Country name is list view by name now,
   some countries too far away from top. Scroll long.

   if click countries ➡️ I can "Pin / Unpin country"
   \ or
   if click profile ➡️ I can add "country (with randomly server)"

   😇Always, Love Proton.

6. localhost SOCKS5 tunnel like in Mullvad

   I would like to see this feature from mullvad in Proton VPN: https://mullvad.net/en/help/socks5-proxy

   Coming from Mullvad. This feature is great. I put it in Telegram and if VPN is disabled the application can't access the servers of this "privacy" messenger. It hides TCP Fingerprint, too. Reducing captcha and other garbage detections from antibot systems.

7. Per-Container VPN Routing in Firefox/Zen

   Enable Proton VPN to define VPN routes not only globally across Firefox—as currently supported—but also on a per-container basis, similar to Mozilla VPN’s behavior. This enhancement would significantly increase flexibility and privacy for containerized browsing workflows.

   Use Case Examples:
   - Personal Container: Connect through the user’s home country to access domestic services such as banking or local news.
   - Language Learning Container: Route traffic via a foreign country to immerse in content and media in the target language.
   - Work Container: Use a dedicated VPN route optimized for workplace access or remote server geolocation.
   - Research Container: Connect via specialized regions to bypass censorship or access region-specific data sources.

   Benefits:
   - Fine-grained privacy control tailored to each browsing activity.
   - Seamless multi-regional browsing within a single Firefox session.
   - More purposeful and contextual VPN usage, reducing the need for frequent manual switching.

   This feature would be especially relevant for the Zen browser, which is heavily based on Firefox and emphasizes the use of workspaces (containers). Integrating per-container VPN routing would perfectly complement Zen’s workflow-centric architecture and empower users with even more precise control.

8. Kill switch should stay on with split tunneling

   I use Proton VPN at the router level, so my home Wi-Fi is already protected. On my laptop, I’d like to exclude my home network from the VPN using split tunneling without disabling the kill switch.

   Right now, having both the router VPN and the laptop VPN running creates a double VPN, which slows down all internet traffic while I’m at home. If split tunneling worked with the kill switch enabled, I could use my home network normally without the slowdown, and when I leave home and connect to any other network, the kill switch would still protect me—no manual toggling needed.

9. Toggle option to exclude Smart Routing servers in settings

   For all ProtonVPN clients, there should be a toggle option in Settings that allows you to exclude Smart Routing servers from your connection. Something like:

   "Exclude Smart Routing servers (use only servers physically located in your selected country)"

   When you set up your Default Connection to be in your own country, you may be connected to Smart Routing servers which are physically located in another one and therefore will have worse latency.

   For example:

   A user in Argentina sets their Default Connection to "Argentina" for minimal latency. Without excluding Smart Routing servers, they might connect to a server physically in United States, increasing latency and worsening the experience.

   This could be added in Settings -> Connection -> Advanced Settings and would help a lot users that want the lowest possible latency while protecting their privacy.

11. Android TV Kill Switch

    Hi,
    I am a paying user of the Proton Unlimited pachage and I am very happy with Protons VPN. However, I use an androidbox on my tv and I am missing a killswitch!
    Please add this as soon as possible because this is a real deal braker for me and I will probably switch back to Nord VPN if this is not fixed in the near future. I dont get why such an importand setting is not implemented in the android version of your VPN! I read many complaints about this issue on Reddit and people are looking at other, bettter VPN services that have this option.
    Keep up the good work and I hope you will fix this very very soon.

12. Split-tunneling on MacOS: Allow to include/exclude binaries, not just app bundles.

    Currently, split tunneling on macOS is limited to .app bundles, which means command-line tools and system binaries — such as /usr/bin/curl, wget, ssh, or custom scripts — cannot be individually included or excluded from the VPN tunnel.

    Thank you.

13. Allow at least wildcarding of file paths for split tunnel rules

    It would be nice to allow wildcards or folders or some other means of defining more general split tunneling rules beyond pinpointing a single exact executable path.

    For instance, Discord.exe always changes its subfolder in your %AppData%/Local/Discord every time it updates to include the version number. I.e.
    %AppData%/Local/Discord/app-1.0.9218/Discord.exe

    It would be cool to add it as maybe *Discord.exe or something. Or, maybe as a folder:
    C:/Users/blah/AppData/Local/Discord/

    Currently, I am forced to re-add it every single Discord app update. Unfortunate given that this poses an existential IP leak threat, since in order to add the latest Discord.exe path, it first has to update and immediately launch itself.

14. WireGuard Stealth Mode API/Proxy Support for Third-Party Clients

    Hello Proton VPN Support Team,

    I am a Proton VPN user on Android and I have been using the WireGuard configuration profiles exported from the Proton VPN dashboard with a third-party client (RethinkDNS), which provides per-app firewall and DNS filtering and profiles (e.g. with NextDNS) features alongside VPN functionality.

    I have identified a specific issue with mobile network connectivity:

    • When I establish a WireGuard tunnel over Wi-Fi and then switch to a 5G mobile network, the existing session continues without interruption.
    • However, if I attempt to initiate a new WireGuard connection directly over 5G, the handshake fails entirely.

    This behavior strongly suggests that my mobile carrier performs Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and blocks the initial WireGuard handshake packets — which have a well-known, identifiable signature — on 5G networks, while already-established UDP flows are allowed to pass.

    The Proton VPN application itself solves this via its Stealth (WireGuard over TCP) mode, which obfuscates traffic and bypasses DPI effectively. However, this feature is not available through the standard WireGuard configuration profiles exported from the dashboard, as it relies on a proprietary obfuscation layer that cannot be expressed in the standard WireGuard config format.

    My request:
    Would it be possible to provide an officially supported method for enabling Stealth/TCP mode in third-party WireGuard-compatible clients? This could be achieved through, for example:
    - A documented SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy endpoint on the Proton infrastructure that wraps WireGuard in TCP, usable alongside standard WireGuard profiles;
    - Or an open-source implementation of the Stealth obfuscation layer that third-party apps could integrate.

    This would greatly benefit users who rely on third-party clients for functionality not available in the official Proton VPN app, while still needing to bypass carrier-level DPI on mobile networks.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Best regards

16. Make Proton VPN with Google Play and F-Droid have different IDs

    Currently, after installing the F-Droid version, Google Play tries to download and install an update for Proton VPN every time it searches for and installs updates for user applications, and it fails. It would be better if Google Play did not see the application installed via F-Droid and did not waste traffic, battery life, and did not annoy the user with notifications that the update installation was unsuccessful, but will be repeated later.

17. New country on Proton, Please!

    Hi Proton Team,

    I am writing to suggest a new server location for Proton VPN. Since you have recently expanded the network massily to 145 countries—including heavily restricted regions like Turkmenistan—it would be an incredible milestone to add North Korea (Pyongyang) to the list.

    I completely understand that placing a physical server inside North Korea is impossible due to geopolitical and security risks. However, this could be successfully implemented using Proton's "Smart Routing" technology, hosting virtual servers in a secure nearby location (like Tokyo or Singapore) while providing a North Korean IP address.

    Adding this rare geolocation would showcase Proton's advanced routing capabilities and position the service as the ultimate leader in global coverage, directly competing with legacy networks like HMA that became famous for offering this specific location.

    Thank you for your continuous work on internet freedom and network expansion!

    Best regards.

19. Dedicated IPv6 Addresses

    IPv6 addresses are practically unlimited, unlike IPv4 addresses. Could we please get the option for free dedicated IPv6 addresses?

    What I'd like to see:
    - Option to use shared (currently available) or dedicated IPv6 address
    - Per Wireguard profile
    - Open incoming ports - let us host a public web server if we want to!

    Bonus:
    - Ability to regenerate the address, e.g. in the Proton VPN desktop app or the web portal for Wireguard configs.
    - DHCP-PD for routers. I don't know if any are supporting it today.
