VPN disabled app protection on duckduckgo

Should I enable it again? Serious question.

Hey, John from DuckDuckGo here. /u/matstegner is spot on. It’s a bit confusing, but AppTP only works with our DuckDuckGo VPN, not with any other VPN service. This isn’t a gatekeeping thing, it’s simply because Android only allows one VPN connection at a time per device, and AppTP is technically a VPN. Our VPN can share the same connection as AppTP as both are coming from the DDG browser app.

Yes because you can only use one VPN connection on Android.

Oh okay I thought I just read duckduckgo could be used with vpns, didn’t realize it would say it disabled the app tracking protection for duck. Thanks

So I’d be using duckduck go purely for the duck aesthetic in this case then?

You will need to subscribe to the Duckduckgo privacy pro to be able to use a vpn together with the app tracking protection.

Yeah but I don’t wanna and isn’t app tracking protection packaged with a VPN? So wouldn’t i have no reason to use duckduck

So which would be typically preferred then if you had one? Just the fact that one is literally apps and the other is everything else?

I don’t know to be honest. I already subscribe to a VPN service. But I don’t use VPN very often.
