Right! Gotta have more choice! I want to have chocolate mint not just chocolate and strawberry.

Claims that it is already possible.
Why?
... To be able to use the VPN I would guess.
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"
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.
The feature is on the halfway point on the third page. Keep pushing folks.
The feature request is gaining notice!
