What should we require of VPN providers on macOS?

anonymous549:

your question does seem to frame router-level VPN and macOS host-level VPN as mutually competing choices

I mean, they are in the sense that they are different choices and a person can choose to use either of them. Not in the sense of which PG provides recommendations for though. Do you think that two different solutions aren’t distinct choices an individual could choose to utilize?

anonymous549:

I am sorry you don’t see why the phrasing of your question could be construed as setting up a direct comparison between the two

The issue is comparing two different things in response to a person who was not just comparing them but specifically asking about just recommending one of them over the other? What exactly is your problem with my question?

The person I was responding to asked about the solution being to just set up your VPN connection on your router as a solution to ProtonVPN’s kill switch issue. I asked if PG recommending that, explicitly for everyone , was a good idea.

lyricism:

everyone

I think you likely did not really read what I wrote and assumed I took a position I clearly did not. If not, please elaborate on what you take issue with in my post because you keep responding to me like we disagree but then only take positions entirely consistent with my own.

Otherwise, I don’t know what you want me to say, really, or what the point of this conversation between us is.
