| 2025-01-05 |  | | en | The VPN itself works well and is generally stable when used with OpenVPN or the dedicated application. However, the browser extension is highly problematic. It logs out randomly, offers far fewer server options, and has a critical flaw that makes it unusable for me. When the extension is enabled in Microsoft Edge or Chrome, the browser automatically redirects all HTTP sites to HTTPS. This behavior prevents me from accessing essential home devices like my UPS, VOIP adapter, router, and others, as they don't support HTTPS connections. Please address this issue to make the extension functional in such scenarios. |

| 2024-11-27 |  | | en | I have to manually turn the VPN on every time I turn on the computer. Why is there no setting to have it turn on on startup like there is on the Android app? This seems like a huge oversight to me. There is also a pop up that frequently pops up asking me to log in to the individual servers. I do not understand why this occurs, the extension already has my login information. Please fix these issues. |
