Title. Is that possible? I have proton vpn setup at the network layer at home so there is no need for the app on my phone or laptop to be connected when at home. However I would like it to auto connect when I connect outside of my house. As anyone done this before? This would specifically be for android and windows devices if that matters.

    Hey, I have done something similar to this.

    I turn the VPN on every time I connect to a WiFi without the SSID of my trusted places.

    Super easy with tasker.

    Here is the XML to import and experiment with OP:

      Thanks for that! I did consider seeing if tasker could do that as I used it a lot when I used to run android as my daily driver (was on iOS for a long time and finally flipping back).

      Appreciate the example!
