Works fine!

I read many bad reviews from 3 years ago. It might have improved since that, as I enjoyed the setup and the plugins used are working smoothly with my Apple devices + Proton VPN. πŸ‘

Trash and spare me the justifications

Silly little app that cannot figure out how to make the simplest things when setting this product up doable. EVERY step of the way there is some either time consuming mental puzzle to β€œguess” what they mean with the vague and contradictory instructions or instructions that assume the user should have a background in computer science to β€œknow what they mean”. Note: the word password seemed too β€œuncool” for these geniuses.
