[Enhancement] Connect to fastest plus server?

Open Phate6660 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I guess you could say this is related to a problem. Sometimes when I connect to the "fastest" server, it'll connect me to "normal" server that often times has a higher load that some other ones. This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does I often find myself reconnecting to the "fastest" server multiple times over and over again until I get connected to a "plus" server. Sometimes that won't work and I'll end up having to find and connect to a "plus" server manually.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be really nice if there was a way to connect to the fastest "plus" server via a flag/switch. That way I don't find myself reconnecting over and over again until I get connected to a "plus" server.


I understand if this isn't something high up on your list or even worth considering. I just figured I'd suggest this as an enhancement, because perhaps others have had to do the same thing I do and would be in agreement with this enhancement.


This is off-topic from this issue, but I just wanted to say that I like this re-write of the script. I was a bit irked by it at first because I've had some really bad times with Python in the past, but I'm genuinely impressed by this script. It hasn't even been announced yet (as far as I can tell), and I already find it to be on par or better than the bash version. :)

I implemented this but they rejected it. I suspect they don't have the backend capacity: https://github.com/daniel-j-born/protonvpn-cli-ng/commit/d2ac6ddfea0cf1fb49d150da16e461c168399e7a
