@protonprivacy How about an option in the vpn-app to always activate a VPN whenever the device is not connected to certain wifis?

Nah, you need a VPN on all the time.
Agree. Proton is not only about SECURITY but about PRIVACY. ISPs usually collect data and sell it, governments and third parties use your data. I wouldn’t go out there without a VPN.
@EmperorHenry I didn’t say anything different but within my home network the whole network is behind a VPN so I don’t need single devices to use a VPN. But as soon as I leave my home network I want the device’s VPN to kick in.
Okay, that’s all well and good, but you should still use a VPN on all your devices even though your whole home network is going through a VPN. It’s like a multi-hop that way
@EmperorHenry but isn’t that like using two identical doorlocks with identical keys? I don’t think this would bring any security/protection related benefits but instead would slow down the single devices connection.
Every proton VPN connection has its own unique public and private keys. A new set is created with every new connection.
@EmperorHenry That would mean putting all eggs into one basket which IMHO is against all security/privacy logic. There is no benefit of using a VPN within a VPN under no circumstances. If you don’t trust the VPN and only feel better combining it with another VPN than don’t use it in the first place.
