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.

That could theoretically be misconstrued by some users as meaning "not connected" to any network, though. And explaining it might be a little wordy for a notification. Maybe "VPN disconnected" or something.
