I hate how the privacy services shove in your face the "unprotected" word (lemmy.today)

You disable the VPN, they show "unprotected", come on, I'm not really unprotected, why such a dramatic word, I just disabled the thing a little, I'm "disconnected" but it doesn't mean I'm actually unprotected, the same way it doesn't mean I'm actually protected if I'm using a VPN.

Mullvad uses the term "Disconnected" in their apps, and their website header says "Not using Mullvad VPN".

(I know that's probably not a good reason to switch providers, but they are really good in other ways too)

    I just saw that on Proton VPN but I remember seeing other services forcing this "unprotected" word as if it was the end of the world.

    "Please you need us look how you need us now you're unprotected holy shit"
