    Would be better if it were optional. The little key in the status area is more than enough indication for me. A persistent notification is not a notification, it’s a hack.

      The hack is the aggressive battery optimization in some phones that don’t respect the native Android battery optimization settings and still kill apps.

        I get it, and i guess the fault is on Google for not providing an alternative for such apps. Still a hack though, because such things don’t belong in the user’s notifications.

      It is optional unless I misunderstood. You can disable the persistent notification by disabling VPN notifications in the Google One app.
