IVPN aquired Safing Portmaster, but tbh, Portmaster got A LOT of usability issues. Rethink DNS is just about the best in usability and features out there, but the developers sadly seem to struggle with keeping the lights on and it is only available on Android.

While interesting, I'm a bit worried if this could end up making using Proton both realistically and legally troublesome in the long run.
In terms of anonymizing its users, as far as VPNs can go (getting not even close to networks like Tor, yet alone e.g. i2p), Mullvad is very near the top, something Proton cannot possibly rival because of their business model going way beyond just being a VPN.
But at the same time, this makes Proton a company governments can gain trust in. The fact that Proton both WILL cooperate with Swiss authorities and DOES have some useable data, gives governments a transparent process to go after truly awful people using Proton to hide themselves. Governments do already (or will soon) have methods to reveal the identity of pretty much any VPN user anyway (just corelate all the users of the relevant VPN to the timings of whatever you're interested in and then start conventional investigations). But it's more convenient to just pass a truly legitimate request on to Swiss authorities for them to process and decide over it.
If that door closes not only would there arise a serious interest in compromising Proton (and we'd likely never find out about it), but also it would become a priority target for users of it being tracked (or usage outright made illegal).
If anything, I suggest externalizing such a feature to another company (and product), that could maybe route their traffic through the Proton network, keeping the benefit of the anonymity in a crowd for those who legitimately need it, and then mandatorily through the partner network. That way making all Proton users suspicious by default could probably be avoided.
