Hey everyone! 👋

We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, and with spring in full swing, we wanted to share a few recent Proton VPN updates that we think you’ll appreciate. These aren’t flashy new features — just thoughtful improvements to make your online life smoother, safer, and more efficient.

🛡️ NetShield is now even better at blocking phishing sites

Worried about accidentally clicking a sketchy link? We’ve expanded the list of known phishing domains NetShield blocks — so now it stops more bad stuff before it even has a chance to load. Just turn on NetShield in the app, and you’re good to go.

🔋 Battery life improvements for mobile users

We’ve improved how Proton VPN runs in the background on both Android and iOS. If you're on the move using a cellular connection, the app will now let your phone rest more when idle, meaning less power drain and longer battery life.

Some quick tips for even better battery life:

  • Use WiFi when you can (uses less power than mobile data)

  • Switch to WireGuard (lightweight and battery-friendly)

  • Don’t stress about using lots of data — that barely affects battery usage

Faster browsing when conditions aren’t perfect

Proton VPN has always been fast, but now it’s smarter too. If your connection is being slowed down due to certain network quirks, the app can detect and automatically fix it in real-time so you get the fastest connection speed available. No manual tweaking needed.

We know “invisible” updates aren’t as exciting as shiny new features, but these kinds of tweaks make a huge difference day-to-day — and they’re all part of our mission to keep improving the VPN experience.

Let us know how these updates are working for you, or if you’ve noticed a difference!

As always, thanks for being part of the Proton community 💜

Stay safe,

Everyone knows that the content of the notification is encrypted, BUT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH:

https://www.privacy-handbuch.de/handbuch_73.htm

Requests to the PM Team (for example, for the implementation of Unified Push) have been ignored for many years.

For some people, using a safe ProtonMail app with a dangerous FCM can be a disaster in some countries (journalists, signals, political opposition, etc.)

Please repair it!

Dear Proton Team, do these threats also apply to applications and Web PM?

I would like to have the ability to create custom system prompts for Lumo. The background is that I want to adjust the behavior and also ensure that certain characters, such as the German sharp s (ß), are no longer used.

Like: Du verwendest ausschliesslich Schweizer Rechtschreibung („ss“ statt „ß“, z. B. „Strasse“, „dass“, „Fuss“).

Lumo gives you the power to solve problems big and small, while keeping your personal data confidential. Try it now.


Less interested in the AI thing, more interested in this bit nested at the bottom of the page: (h/t Jonah Aragon)

Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.

Hi,

anyone also experience syncing problems between iOS iphones in Photo Albums? If I have a photo coming in from apple photos to proton drive photos and placing it in an shared album. The photos cannot be seen in my album and also not in the shared album, although the count of the album increase.

I'm trying to figure this out from what I find on the web site, but can't seem to. I have 3 different domains, used only for email. GoDaddy had a decent email system, but then they turned them all into Microsoft Mail, which sucks. I would want to cancel Microsoft, and have my email hosted by Proton, but all I see is that you can forward mail to proton. Can I do this, or would I have to keep paying for Microsoft Mail so it can forward to Proton?

I am trying to set up a email filter for us to auto delete emails coming from a specific email addresses. I've followed Protons guides on their website but just want to make sure that im doing the right thing.

require ["fileinto", "vnd.proton.expire"];

if address :is "to" "example@example.com" { expire "day" "180"; fileinto "Onboarding"; stop; }

The emails already filter into a folder called "Onboarding."

Proton Mail - Message processing error

Having this error in proton mail, any idea how to fix it? my mail is showing as plain text HTML.

thanks a lot

I've been having an issue this morning with any US server I've tried connecting to.

I am able to connect to the server but no other internet access will work. I've connected to a Canadian server and that worked fine immediately.

Anyone else notice something?

I just wanted to sign into Mastodon on my phone in my browser but couldn't autofill in the login data from Proton Pass. It had worked about an hour ago but suddenly doesn't work anymore, regardless of which website or which browser I use. I reinstalled Proton Pass and checked that Autofill is on but still nothing.

Any ideas? Thank you!

The CLI app is barebones. I know this is said a lot about Proton services (at least on Reddit) but it's true on Linux. No split tunnel, app shuts down when I turn off my display, and the connection is very unstable.

17
 
 

Anyone else having sync issues on Android? Sync will happen if I go into settings and hit "Force synchronization".

18
 
 

The feature is included in Proton Free but is not listed in the overview to make Mail Plus seem more appealing

I just now realized I have access to Proton Docs. I've been a Proton user for years at this point and it does keep getting better and better, though I do have some gripes about some of their stances.

I've paid for StandardNotes for a while now. Anyone know how Proton Docs are and if you could replace StandardNotes?

Anyone know if there's an Import / Export between?

Anyone know if there's a Proton Docs Android App or if it's coming?

anyone else having trouble with the newish vpn app? I seem to loose connection a lot more. almost never did before. hate the new interface too.

Hej! I need to import my Proton Calendar to Google Calendar so that an appointment scheduling app can see conflicts.

Syncing with Google Calendar was easy, but for some reason multi-day events don't show up on Google (and so in the scheduling app).

Is that a known bug? Any ideas how to handle this?

For example cryptocurrency wallet seed phrase. One can add it to the notes field (password field is occupied by my wallet password).

I can also add new field of type "hidden" to the login entry, where i need to click eye icon in order to reveal the content.

Beside login items, there are also Notes items, which does not seems to feature hidden field.

I assume that in terms of security all field types (password, note) and all entries (login, note) are equally secured.

But the field which is not password or a hidden note of the login item, are more vulnerable due to someone look behind your back or due to a computer client-side scanning (spyware third party or built in OS made to screenshot ones screen)?

What is your suggestion on storage of a super-sensitive data like crypto. wallet seeds?
