Why should this tool be removed? ProtonVPN should be removed from recommendations as its kill switch for MacOs is known to not work: When switching to another ProtonVPN server On computer boot up → In both of these instances, the user’s real IP becomes exposed to any online service it is connect…

Listen folks. The reason this thread is so ridiculous is because nobody can decide what they think the problem actually is. I think there are really three problems here, while everything else seems irrelevant to Proton VPN itself. Pick the problem you actually care about and talk about it there: Wh…

[image] anon4374141: Does Mullvad have a kill switch in the Android client? I think, following your own reasoning, you’d have to do quite a few gymnastics to argue that it does (by your definition). On GrapheneOS it can be resolved, but on all Android devices (which are the vast majority), every…

I can’t understand @anon4374141 ‘s argument at all, it seems to completely miss the point. However, surely now is the time for @jonah or another from the PG team to close this thread and make a decision either way? Why is this still ongoing?

For the strongest security regarding VPN kill switches, we always recommend hardware solutions, such as a pocket router or a router in general. We are not removing Proton VPN for something that amounts to a platform implementation issue with macOS/iOS (making it Apple’s responsibility ).
