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

    @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.
