Proton router and wifi access points (hardware or softwaredefined)
Dear Proton,
You guys are amazing and I really enjoy using your products.
What I enjoy about your approach is that you guys are extremely thorough in terms of privacy, security and configurability.
This idea is a little bit different than your normal activities perhaps, but how about Proton router and Wi-Fi access points? So Proton network infrastructure products.
Proton could explore designing Proton secure home and business routers and Wi-Fi access points / extenders.
This could be hardware, OR you could do a similar approach as PfSense / OPNSense designing the software and we as the users choose our own hardware to run Proton Router OS or Proton Wi-Fi Access point OS on.
Key here would be the advanced privacy & security functions so we are sure our home and business networks remain secure.
You could also integrate this with your existing Proton VPN service providing an easy integration to encapsulate the entire network with your VPN (I know this is possible already, but extra integration / convenience because the device is running Proton OS and other security features might be nice).
I have a lot more faith in the way Proton approaches privacy and security and stays on the course, than very large companies that are driven by the need to please investors and profits. This does not mix well with maintaining privacy.
Hence this suggestion.

If only as a package for OpenWrt. Or something similar for ready-made devices...

This is a amazing idea, but unfortunately, pretty far fetched as proton is a software company and doesn't make any hardware

Probably (hopefully in my view given how spread proton already is) out of scope for proton for now.
