This is a little vague on the technicals, but it sounds like you would be downloading and installing the full VPN service as if you had obtained it directly from ProtonVPN? i.e. this isn't a browser plugin? It'd be interesting if there were some tie-ins with the browser, like perhaps separate VPN connections per container (not sure this is possible, I'm no expert).

I'd prefer it if it used some kind of way to proxy traffic through WireGuard instead (which ProtonVPN does not yet support while they should if not just for performance reasons alone [1])

There is a uservoice request for WireGuard: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/sugg...

(but I don't know if Proton looks at these requests, the last response from administrators was in 2016).

It is something we'd like to do, but it's still a little experimental and it hasn't gotten to the top of our priority list yet.
If you need a beta tester, let me know. I already am a paid subscriber, but I am considering quitting ProtonVPN because this feature is lacking and more and more competitors are catching up on it.
