You disable the VPN, they show “unprotected”, come on, I’m not really unprotected, why such a dramatic word, I just disabled the thing a little, I’m “disconnected” but it doesn’t mean I’m actually unprotected, the same way it doesn’t mean I’m actually protected if I’m using a VPN.
What other terms could they use?
All substantially less likely to make me think of condoms
Your data is leaking
Better simply “You’re Leaking”
They could just provide the facts: your connection is not protected by the VPN. The scaremongering is just marketing for the next renewal.
Even better…“not connected”.
Being on a VPN doesn’t mean your connection is protected, necessarily.
That could theoretically be misconstrued by some users as meaning “not connected” to any network, though. And explaining it might be a little wordy for a notification. Maybe “VPN disconnected” or something.
That’s no fun
