A part of this is that we're launching Proton Meet: end-to-end encrypted video calls where no one can listen in, not even Proton. Built on the same zero-access architecture as Proton Mail.

The bug corrupts Android's network stack at the system level after a VPN update, causing users to blame their VPN provider.

Restarting the app doesn't help, with the only fix being a full device reboot or VPN app reinstall, something which most users never figure out.

This affects several VPN providers on Android 16, and only Google has the access to diagnose it properly.

After 7 months of waiting, we're now asking publicly: Google, when are you fixing this?

Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background.

If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it.

We first reported this bug to Google in September 2025.

Others like @nprofile1q... and Wireguard reported it even earlier, in August.

Google's response? "I don't see anything unusual."

Here's what's actually happening ⤵️

Recent US State Department budget cuts have unfortunately also impacted non-profits working on internet freedom.

The Proton Foundation has stepped in to support organizations such as Free Press Unlimited, Freedom House, and Tor, which are impacted, but these organizations need more support.

You can find out more about what they do and the $1 million that Proton is donating towards organizations defending democracy during this critical time here:

Unlike Big Tech, Proton will not comply with subpoenas from the incoming Trump administration (just like we refused all subpoenas from the Biden administration), as it would be illegal under Article 271 of the Swiss criminal code.
