        Okay. I’ll bite.

        Why does it need to be implemented by Proton, why specifically on Ubuntu Touch, why a VPN?

        I realise that the last question might seem odd, but then so does this research: “Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose”

        https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/05/novel-attack-against-virtually-all-vpn-apps-neuters-their-entire-purpose/

        I might add that this affects most VPN implications since 2002, so, 22 years of oops…

        So, I’ll ask again, Why?

          I’d say the most trusted developer for a security oriented service is the provider, so it makes sense that proton vpn offers a proton vpn client i should say.

          For the OS, i dont know it or why it needs a special version of the Linux client, and i dont really care, but the users apparently do.

          As for the “22 years of oops”, if that is so why does anyone use a vpn nowadays? Security is always relative.

          Because Ubuntu touch is the most stable Linux mobile distro though I’m still down for a Mobian,Postmarket,Sailfish Port.
