Every time I boot up my PC it auto-connects, which makes me have to login to Steam everytime I boot up my PC, which takes a while with 2 step verification and all that stuff. How do I stop it from auto-connecting?
Open the app. Click menu (3 dashes top left), Settings, General tab, Start on boot (slide to off), Connect on app start (slide to off).
Unless you specifically log out of the app, it won’t ask for your login details each time you start the app.
What about this on Android?
how I did it on macOS
Additional check for MacOS.
Click the Apple icon to pull up System Settings. Click “Network” and confirm that the item “VPN” is “inactive”, with the red dot showing. That’s another to make sure that ProtonVPN in not interfering. And boy can it interfere. Example, if the app needs to be updated, it won’t tell you; it simply blocks all internet access, but does load the interface.
I “like” Proton apps. Except for when I hate them.
