I had not used Proton VPN in a long time so forgot. I just went to the app on my laptop, Windows 10. When I went to use the app, I logged in using my ProtonMail account information, but there was an update notice. So I went to update Proton VPN app and it started downloading C++ and some other things I didn’t want. Is there any reason that would happen?
It tried to download something on my Mac too I didn’t recognize and I didn’t allow it when it asked me to approve. Seems to work fine still without downloading whatever it was. Felt sketchy
I believe those are programs it was trying to download. I stopped C++ from downloading and ProtonVPN seems to work fine since then. I emailed Proton to ask for guidance and was told the update needed more programs or software to run now. Guess a little time and hopefully the person will write back with a more in-depth explanation as to what’s different this time around.
Me, too. I don’t need C++ and a host of other programs. Not sure what’s going on with that. Anyone from Proton??
