Make Proton VPN with Google Play and F-Droid have different IDs
Currently, after installing the F-Droid version, Google Play tries to download and install an update for Proton VPN every time it searches for and installs updates for user applications, and it fails. It would be better if Google Play did not see the application installed via F-Droid and did not waste traffic, battery life, and did not annoy the user with notifications that the update installation was unsuccessful, but will be repeated later.

It can be resolved by disabling automatic updates for a specific app on Android
1. Open the Google Play Store app: Locate and open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Find the app: Search for or navigate to the specific app you want to disable automatic updates for.
3. Access the app's details: Once you've found the app, open its details page.
4. Tap the three dots: In the top right corner of the app's details page, tap the three dots (or "More" option).
5. Disable auto-updates: Uncheck the "Enable auto update" option.This action will prevent that specific app from updating automatically when updates are available. You can still manually update the app by going to the Play Store and tapping "Update" on the app's page if needed.
