Sharing a very similar use case for Proton VPN developers review...
TL;DR...
Proton VPN Windows (+ other OS) app 'profile' settings to auto-disconnect/connect configured on detection of wireless SSID's AND network interfaces (e.g. virtual ethernet devices).
Detail...
OP's ticket is useful to prevent 'VPN within VPN' on Wi-Fi so "known" wireless access points or networks auto-disconnect Android app VPN. This is needed on Windows / Mac Proton VPN app also, for use case I explain below.
Scenario...
I use many roaming internet connections, hence Proton VPN is configured 'always-on' my Android and Windows clients, and a GL.iNet router. This caused "VPN-within-VPN" issues.
To avoid this while I am on the road, I hotspot/tethered my laptop to phone running Proton VPN, disabled Windows VPN, and assumed laptop traffic was protected.
Proton support has advised that traffic from devices connected to an Android Hotspot or USB tether may bypass Proton VPN Android app interface. Not good.
Workaround to protect tethered PC...
I now use 'Easy Tether Pro' (ETP) Android app and Windows client. Nearly all other OS are also supported. http://www.mobile-stream.com/easytether/drivers
ETP auto-connects my PC to internet and routes traffic via the phone handset network interface, which bypasses mobile carrier detection and blocking.
Testing confirms Windows VPN client disconnected and Android VPN client connected protects traffic for both devices.
After driver install, Windows shows an ETP ethernet network device interface, which I know runs Proton VPN always-on phone app so Proton VPN Windows app needs to be manually disabled.
Ask...
Hoping the developer team will consider 'interfaces' as profiles for auto-connnect/disconnect in addition to trusted WiFi.

Others commented Proton already built this into Pass app, but sharing experience with switchover.
- I recently migrated around 25 2FA tokens from MS Authenticator to Proton Pass (PP) TOTP, including multiple accounts with Microsoft, Meta, Google, Xero, GoDaddy, and a bunch of smaller platforms.
- I manually signed into each platform using MSAuth token > navigated to 2FA setting > add/change 2FA to generate a QR > scanned 2FA code using mobile PP app > entered PP code to verify token. Simple.
- I noticed Microsoft, Google, Meta all preference notification of sign-in by alert in their existing apps over 2FA as a 'feature'. It hasn't caused an issue.
- I noticed those platforms and others added PP TOTP 2FA as an additional authenticator, and did not replace their own.
- I noticed many financial platforms (banks, paypal, cashbacks, gift cards) ONLY feature 2FA via SMS, which is very inconvenient with unreliable service and frequently changing mobile numbers. Not a PP problem.
- I appreciate the simplicity that using PP Windows app to fill sign-in credentials automatically copies the TOTP code to Windows clipboard, but do notice that MSAuth app on Android double verifies biometrics before approval, which feels more secure.
- I then wiped devices, reinstalled, and realised Proton Pass first-time sign-in needed the 2FA code from Proton Pass. I luckily was able to find old recovery codes or access would have been lost.
- I have noticed PP Android app and Brower extension both intermittently do not prompt to auto-fill, and worse on Android after I installed Microsoft Swiftkey running in incognito mode.
- My suggestion for Proton Pass (I assume voiced in other tickets) is workflow features to allow other Proton signed in apps to authenticate as large platforms do, particularly if Biometric prompt is available (e.g. feature added to browser plugin currently using fixed 6-digit passcode).
TL;DR: Proton Pass 2FA does all Microsoft Authenticator does, BUT MAKE SURE you have Proton recovery codes handy if you migrate Proton 2FA to Proton Pass ot a total lockout is a real risk.
