Edit: I see many of these questions have been answered but for transparency I'll leave this up (also don't want to spam separate threads). Just want to compile a list voicing many curiosity ideas.

I have a few questions about the VPN.

1. Have you looked at competing VPN services and what protocols they use? ProtonVPN seems lackluster to even smaller vpns offering wider varieties to bypass their networking situations. Is it because you want the best encryption and open source / proven protocols instead of a larger amount?

2. When will stealth protocol release on PC, Mac, and Linux? I know mobile is top priority for good reason but what is a good time frame of a general release date?

3. How are the Chrome and Firefox extensions going? This could help a ton of students with restricted computers or chromebooks and it would also be nice to have an updated time frame of that too.

4. What is the progression on IPV6? It could be revolutionary if and when more servers start rolling it out. It will help even more who need ipv6 support.

5. Is there any plan to add more protocols and workarounds for restricted networks? I've seen many great ideas being implemented to help those in Russia, India, and China but it would be cool to see if Proton could make it mainstream.

6. How about routing some users through tor or external proxies which can be accessed in the area? This can tremendously help.

7. Can you work on making the app more stable on Android devices? Many of us have complained and shown how broken the app can be causing constant timing out and this didn't happen a couple years ago. IOS seems to run way better but Android has taken a large step back.

8. On the free plan it has detected peer to peer on software which doesn't even run it or for a short second. An example is epic games launcher, windows update, steam friends, secret neighbor game authentication, etc. Could you improve the detection so it doesn't disconnect on non file sharing platforms?

9. If by chance ProtonVPN's website are blocked and also github, where can we find an installer or even sign up for an account? I've seen other platforms where you can get sent an email, mirror sites, etc. F droid is quite delayed in showing updates. Can you find alternate methods on also distributing APKs for those that don't have Google Play / Aurora Store?

10. This may not be a major concern, but will you eventually look into upgrading your DDoS prevention (as Proton struggles with malicious traffic)? Its really difficult for gamers to play and many have switched over because it cannot hold a connection stabilly when it is attacked.

Thanks for all the hardwork. We all appreciate it.

Good idea. I'll leave this up for transparency (and cause it took awhile to type). Thing is reddit really doesn't like new accounts and in my experience they delay or flat out refuse comments (rate limited) so this is the best I can do. I also don't want to get banned for spamming questions.
