I linked this CyberInsider news article because it lays out the practical impact of Proton VPN retiring legacy OpenVPN configuration files and the exact timeline you need to care about. If you’re running manual configs (routers, scripts, niche devices), this is the kind of change that can quietly break your setup unless you update ahead of the cutoff.

Pros

+Clear breakdown of Proton VPN’s legacy OpenVPN config deprecation
+Useful for manual/advanced VPN setups that rely on downloaded config files
+Helps you plan around the early-2026 deadline

Cons

-Primarily relevant to manual configuration users, not most app users
-Doesn’t replace the need to audit your own device/router setup
