PROBLEM:
To enable streaming on some services I have to be "seen" as coming in from a specific geographic region ... such as "San Jose or Bay Area". PBS requires this to associated you with your local PBS subscription for example.
So I am forced to select a specific server in the area to connect ProtonVPN to. But this creates a problem in that I can't use the "Fastest" feature to ensure I am getting the best speeds. This is particularly a problem when configuring a "Router VPN" connection as it is essentially permanently connected to the same server I configure when downloading the connection profile.
This is also a problem with "Always On" VPN connections ... which I cycle every so often to select the fasted server ... but the session it is hopping all over the western United States ... while I would like to keep it in a specific region/city.
FEATURE REQUEST:
If you could provide "Regional or City" server pools to configure in a Connection Profile ... for example "San Jose Region" ... and the effect was that when I connect the session selects the "Fastest" server within that specific Region ... it would provide me with the best connection speeds in that region every time I connect. And as I schedule auto-reboots on my router ... it would update the server connection to the fastest one available on a regular basis.
In addition, this would provide better Load Balancing on your end. Currently your server loads are being impacted by manual selection of specific servers ... as opposed to balancing the load across servers in a region ... for example ... "San Jose".
This would be a "Win-Win" for you and your customers.
