Okay. I'll bite.

Why does it need to be implemented by Proton, why specifically on Ubuntu Touch, why a VPN?

I realise that the last question might seem odd, but then so does this research: "Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose"

I might add that this affects most VPN implications since 2002, so, 22 years of oops...

So, I'll ask again, Why?
