Hi, I have NordVPN set to auto-connect on my iPhone on unfamiliar networks. I’ve been in Mexico for a few days and got the VPN icon as soon as I connected to the hotel wifi, all seems well. Whenever I swipe down from the top-right for the command center screen I see the VPN icon.
Today I went to actually open the NordVPN app and it said I was logged out, invited me to log in which I did. When looking at my stats it now says Day Streak: 1 with time connected today 1m and nothing on the prior days.
Have I been protected the past few days when I appeared to auto-connect? Was I prompted to login only because I hadn’t opened the actual app in a while (weeks)?
Curious if anyone else has had this issue, or if there is a scenario where iPhone would show the VPN icon but it’s not actually protected.
