We are happy to answer your questions about the code or discuss technical ideas.

Please complete the following checklist (by adding [x]):

  • I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates
  • This isn't a feature request
  • This is not a report about my app not working as expected

You should NEVER logout user from his account, even when he didn't used his browser for more than a month.
You can do it in the website, but not in the extension!

Some of your devices / browsers may not be used regularly, so being automatically logged out is:

  • annoying
  • makes your connection insecure
  • doesn't bring any "security advantage"

To compare, AdGuard extension has expiration set to timeExpiresSec: 4824374028, so basically never.

Hello,

Proton follows a general policy of 60 days expiration by default.

Thanks for the info!
Now, instead of following a "general" policy that doesn't apply to this use-case, let's create a new "VPN user friendly" policy, that will keep the token valid for a whole year!
So that even your old PC, at your parents house that you use only once a year, stays connected to VPN.
