Automatically enable vpn on public or compromised Wifi's
Offer a switch to make Proton VPN automatically connect to its services when it detects that you are connected to a Public or Compromised Wifi.
This can be useful if you don't want the VPN to turn on in your home wifi, but you still want to turn it on when connected to a public wifi.

It could also add a whitelist setting where you set which signals to auto-disable it on.

I marked this one as critical because of an issue I am having.
When I’m on the road and I’m using the app, I have no issues with it connecting and such. But at home, my entire network is already running through protonvpn using wireguard. When my phone hits the Wi-Fi, it tries to connect to VPN again, and it causes issues, until I disable the connection. This leaves it exposed unless I remember to reconnect after leaving the house. -

It would be a great feature for the VPN to automatically connect when you connect to a nonsecure network.

is it an idea to enable the vpn automatically when the mobile device is connected to a Wi-Fi signal?
