Urghhh
How the fuck can an “always on” or “kill switch enabled” VPN just turn off without warning - like the application just closes and vpn shuts off - and yet there is no notification provided whatsoever to the user??
I’ve encountered this on mobile and desktop. Mullvad and Nord. Not even while doing anything particularly sensitive, but I try to have really good privacy hygiene, so when this happens it is extremely frustrating.
Especially at 3am when I’m tired and wondering what I did wrong (even though I’m pretty sure I didn’t).
Does this “just happen”? Double check VPN is active every time you pick up the device? Grumble grumble feeling rugged grumble
