Ability to remove specific servers from Custom List

[MrChocolatine]

Feature description

I would like to be able to quickly and easily remove certain servers from my Custom Lists, even if these servers have been added via a country or a city.

Imagine this scenario:

1. I create a Custom List named Website X, specifically to access a certain website
2. In the Select location view, I add the city Oslo to my List Website X (1)
3. In the Select location view, I click my List Website X which connects me to one of the server in Oslo, let's say Server A
4. Things work well for a while, but one day the website detects I'm using a VPN and blocks my connection
5. I select another server from my List Website X, let's call it Server B, and I can access the website again.
6. Now, I know I should stop using Server A since it's blocked, but that server is automatically picked up when I select my Custom List since I added the entire city Oslo
7. To my knowledge, to remove Server A from my Custom List, I have to:
   • Go to my Custom List then remove the city Oslo
   • Add all the servers from Oslo, one by one, but not Server A
   • From now on, selecting my Custom List will not connect me to Server A
8. If the next week, step 4 happens again for another server, I have to redo all step 7
   • This is extremely tedious.

My feature request:

• At step 7, I want to be able to quickly remove Server A from my Custom List without having to do all of that
• Ideally, I would just have to long-press (2) the server and select Remove Server A from that List (similarly to how it's already possible for countries or cities => we can long-press on them and select Remove <country|city> from List XX)

(1) Or if I add a country, like Norway – The above scenario would be the same

(2) long-press => if on a phone. For desktop versions, the same experience as removing a country could be reused:

PS: feel free to rename the title of this post as I wasn't sure how to easily explain my request with just a title.

Alternative solutions

I don't see any other alternative.
Maybe from the main view? But the user interface is already a bit packed here.

This makes a lot of sense.

Hi, thank you for your feature request! 👋

Have you used the custom lists on our mobile platforms?
For instance, on Android you can long press on a custom list and click "Edit locations" where you can edit which locations/servers you want by checking/unchecking them for that custom list. Is this something similar to what you are requesting? 😄

Given the way that custom lists are built currently, removing one server from a city would potentially break up the full structure of that custom list. Given that the desktop app currently does not have an edit location view for custom lists like android has, we will take your feedback and consider it for future improvements rather than applying the same behavior for desktop.

Thanks again for your feature request!
