ProtonVPN potentially misleading UI

[ignoramous]

@KevPham

This is why some level of alarmism and fancy marketing diction should be expected as long as it does not lead to any harm.

And then we wonder why some accuse privacy (especially or rather exclusively VPN) companies as selling snake oil. PG (both the community and the website) is right to call it out should stay away from those.

Telemtry in and of it self is a non-problem. I find it positive that providers of services use telemetry to make the service better … in Europe the Formula 1 teams (F1) are pumping gigabytes of data for each round using “telemetry".

This topic is on a privacy-focused VPN app, not an rich person’s aerodynamic race fantasy death shell.

@KevPham

whether this marketing/alarmism blatantly disregards reality and the capabilities of their services. I haven’t seen this yet for Proton and Mullvad

If I had a dime for the number of times I get sent this screenshot because my app is “leaking DNS” …
