Sharing a very similar use case for Proton VPN developers review...
TL;DR...
Proton VPN Windows (+ other OS) app 'profile' settings to auto-disconnect/connect configured on detection of wireless SSID's AND network interfaces (e.g. virtual ethernet devices).
Detail...
OP's ticket is useful to prevent 'VPN within VPN' on Wi-Fi so "known" wireless access points or networks auto-disconnect Android app VPN. This is needed on Windows / Mac Proton VPN app also, for use case I explain below.
Scenario...
I use many roaming internet connections, hence Proton VPN is configured 'always-on' my Android and Windows clients, and a GL.iNet router. This caused "VPN-within-VPN" issues.
To avoid this while I am on the road, I hotspot/tethered my laptop to phone running Proton VPN, disabled Windows VPN, and assumed laptop traffic was protected.
Proton support has advised that traffic from devices connected to an Android Hotspot or USB tether may bypass Proton VPN Android app interface. Not good.
Workaround to protect tethered PC...
I now use 'Easy Tether Pro' (ETP) Android app and Windows client. Nearly all other OS are also supported. http://www.mobile-stream.com/easytether/drivers
ETP auto-connects my PC to internet and routes traffic via the phone handset network interface, which bypasses mobile carrier detection and blocking.
Testing confirms Windows VPN client disconnected and Android VPN client connected protects traffic for both devices.
After driver install, Windows shows an ETP ethernet network device interface, which I know runs Proton VPN always-on phone app so Proton VPN Windows app needs to be manually disabled.
Ask...
Hoping the developer team will consider 'interfaces' as profiles for auto-connnect/disconnect in addition to trusted WiFi.
