Proton VPN has introduced a new update for its Android app that addresses a key limitation in the Quick Connect feature. Users can now instruct the service to exclude specific countries from connections. The update aims to enhance user control over VPN selections.
Proton VPN, a popular privacy-focused service, has rolled out an update to its Android application specifically targeting the Quick Connect functionality. Previously, Quick Connect automatically selected the fastest available server without options to avoid certain locations, which some users found restrictive.
The new feature allows Android users to specify countries to ignore during the Quick Connect process. This change provides greater flexibility, enabling connections to preferred regions while bypassing others. TechRadar highlighted this as fixing 'the one thing we hate about Quick Connect,' emphasizing improved customization.
The update was published on February 10, 2026. It reflects Proton VPN's ongoing efforts to refine its mobile offerings for better user experience in secure browsing and data protection. No further details on additional changes or rollout timelines were provided in the announcement.
