Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background.

If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it.

We first reported this bug to Google in September 2025.

Others like @mullvadnet and Wireguard reported it even earlier, in August.

Google's response? "I don't see anything unusual."

Here's what's actually happening ⤵️

Just a little FYI

Most instances are run by a team. Not all moderation decisions are made by one person

I understand that people can be mad about decisions but getting angry at an admin who doesn’t always know what’s it about does not help

Not everything is decided by an admin

Just talk, it’s a social network

It seems social.tsst.net is only online to spread (Russian) propaganda, upon inspection no info is shown

I recommend admins to block this instance

Pff.. the amount of AI bots is not funny

Besides the usual spam and user reports this adds extra unnecessary load

There is no point for AI scripts to be on here
