Private Space on Android 15 GrapheneOS

I believe that ProtonVPN's notification that displays data usage will display all data used by the phone regardless of whether it is used by the profile/VPN in question or another profile or private space.

There is a technical explanation for this which unfortunately I am not qualified to give. It is vaguely something to do with the fact that active VPN apps have access to the data usage of the whole phone and ProtonVPN have not set up their data usage monitor to account for the fact there may be other profiles/spaces and so just show the entire phone's data usage.

I apologise if I got anything wrong there or just generally butchered the explanation. Perhaps someone with a better understanding of this will explain better

That would make sense. Seems much more likely than a major VPN bug.

You could try using Proton in both owner and PS, see if they both show the same data usage.

Yes you can prove it with this test, just bear in mind - if the VPNs do not start running at the same time, their total usage counter will show different amounts, but you can tell that the current data usage being counted/reported is the same.

If you try something that uses a lot of data in one profile, you will see both counters in each profile/space increase by the same amount
