Hide or remove icon from Dock
Please allow users to hide the app icon in the Dock. When it is in the Task Menu there no need for it to duplicate in the Dock as well.

Faster Country Change
Please allow for faster server change. No need to force user to first disconnect then reconnect. If I want to connect to a new server then disconnection is implied. Let the app handle the disconnect automatically when I request he new server so that I only interact with it once without waiting for the first step to complete.
Also allow server changes from the drop down menu bar (Mac) without opening the full app window.
See Tunnel Bear for how they handle this. It’s easy and seamless.

Command line (CLI) support for Mac OS
Initiative here was to turn on & off VyprVPN as fast as possible so that it requires less attention when it comes to switching. It always happens when you are working in a company that has their own LAN network required to visit internal websites, so you have to switch between internal and external.
These are the few minimal requirements I can think of to make such a CLI utility small but complete:
- option to connect to VyprVPN(of course)
- option of disconnect from VyprVPN
- option to specify which server(ip, alias, or hostname like tw1.vpn.goldenfrog.com) to connect to(you have to change…

Show fastest connection OTHER THAN your current country or a user-selected list of countries
Often users do not want the fastest server if it is within the country that they are currently in. For example, I may be in Indonesia, but I DO NOT want to connect to an Indonesian server for many reasons. Moreover, I may not wish to connect--ever--to servers in the Five Eyes.

Disable Shutdown Notification
Disable the notification "quitting Vypr will disconnect.." because this notification prevents the Mac from shutting down/restarting and/or crashes the Mac during shutdown/restart.

Add option to exclude trusted networks from kill switch
have a feature request for the VyprVPN client for Mac OS X which I think makes a lot of sense.
Right now it is not possible to use the kill switch feature in combination with the 'Connect on untrusted networks' features, because when you are on a trusted network it doesn't connect to the VPN servers and the kill switch doesn't let you use the internet even though the network is trusted.
I'd like to suggest an option to exclude trusted networks from the kill switch, so that I can have the VyprVPN app running all the time with the…

Megabytes instead of Megabits
The monitor should be able to measure speeds in MB instead of Mb. I use MB for everything and I'd lile the numbers to agree with each other.

Start app minimized on launch
I would like to suggest that an option to disable the connections window at startup be considered in a future version of VyprVPN.

Add an option to disable IPv6 systemwide
Right now IPv6 is enabled by default in Mac OS X and VyprVPN doesn't support IPv6 at all, so when a user doesn't disable IPv6 and surfs the internet over a network that provides an IPv6 address for him then he is basically unprotected and his real IP address is not hidden.
Maybe you should add a warning when someone first launches the app which says that IPv6 is enabled and that it is highly recommended to disable IPv6 and offer him a button to do so, because right now you have to use the Terminal.
Or, even better: add…

Solve the "Disconnecting" issue on Mac
When closing a MacBook (OSX Yosemite, kill switch active) the conneciton drops but when reopening the yellow button keeps saying "Disconnecting". Quitting the application has no effect. Only restarting the system or manually removing "vyprvpnservice" in the PrivilegedHelperTools and quitting the process in Activity Monitor works.
There must be an option to 'quit' the 'disconnecting' process...

Yosemite dark menu - VyprVPN black and white option bug
The round status area (padlock symbol) in the VyprVPN icon in the OS X menu bar is blank when the black and white preference option is selected in conjunction with Yosemite's dark menu theme. A small but annoying bug for those that like a colourless menubar.

This will be resolved in the 2.7.5 release this week. -
More robust connection after Mac wakes from sleep
When my Mac wakes from deep sleep, it takes a few seconds for the internet connection to come back online.
Every time this happens, Vyper gets stuck in a 'connecting...' state and never connects. I have to a) notice the icon stuck in the yellow state in the menu bar, b) physically open the app, c) cancel the current connection and c) start it up again.
I would like Vpyr to notice when it's stuck in that state and fix the problem by itself.
I'm using ComHem in Sweden.
11 votesThank you for your email. This issue should be resolved in the latest VyprVPN MAC release. Please contact our Support Team if you are still having issues with waking from sleep state: support@goldenfrog.com or you can live chat on goldenfrog.com
Thank you.

Block VPN server, i think it would be great if you can block some VPN server, or countrys
Is it possible to make a blacklist of VPN servers? so that i can decide wich i will use or not use
6 votesHi Thomas,
We have the option to select favorite servers. This can act as a white list for you. When you select a server as your favorite, you will them see it in the server selection drop down and will not have to open the server list.
Thanks

password retain during update
Updates should not require re-entering username/password. Most other apps are able to update without losing the preferences.

Will the next beta work on OSX Yosemite?
I know Yosemite is in beta, but any chance of having the next VyprVPN app beta work on Yosemite? I'm absolutely loving the new kill switch functionality.
10 votesHi Neil,
We just pushed out Kill Switch Beta 2 which has the Yosemite fix. We’ll be pushing out another release soon that adds new icons for the Yosemite Dark Theme mode. We’d love to hear more of your feedback over on our Golden Frog Community, Please come join the talk and give more Yosemite feedback!

Block unencrypted traffic on wake from sleep.
Some apps (like email) auto-connect to the net before Vypr kicks in after waking from sleep, and this presents a security hole. Sure, I could shut down all apps before letting my system sleep, but that is an unreasonable burden. Also, sometimes Vypr drops a connection. Whether it is Vypr's fault or not is not really the issue. Just that, again, a window of unencrypted traffic might be exposed before a connection is re-established.
10 votesHi Peter,
A combination of using Auto-reconnect and Kill Switch should take care of this issue for you. As long as VyprVPN is running you shouldn’t have an issue with traffic being unencrypted coming out of sleep state. If you see evidence of this not happening, please reach out to our support team for further investigation and assistance: support@goldenfrog, or live chat from goldenfrog.comThank you.

VyprVPN app could connect automatically!
VyprVPN app could connect automatically to the fastest server with the lowest ping, it could also switch servers automatically to deliver the fastest connections.

Per-App VPN
Please add the option to choose which applications have their traffic redirected through Vypr.
For example; one could secure Skype through Vypr and simultaneously browse or download at a higher speed when VPN protection is not required.

We now offer “Connection Per App” on the latest version of VyprVPN for Mac.

VyprVPN v2.0 App (Mac OS X) does not save account log in details.
I notice the new VyprVPN version 2.0 app for Mac OS X no longer saves your VyprVPN account log in and password and requires you to type your log in everytime you run the app. Please could this be added via a patch or small update, or perhaps a checkbox in preferences to allow this to become an option, thereby still keeping it secure on computers with more than one user.
This may also affect the Windows VyprVPN v2.0 app as well(?)
