Installing VPN in 2 profiles

yoda68

I have 2 profiles. One for dangerous apps (Messenger, Whatsapp, etc... No contacts in that profile etc) and one profile that is my daily driver.

In my main profile, NordVPN works fine and is akways on,.

If I switch to the other Profile, I can't install NordVPN or ProtonVPN.

I would like to use the VPN in that profile too...

ALso : Assuming I'm able to fix that, if I switch to the main profile, are the Apps in the Dangerious profile still running ? Vpn still running ?
I would not want to drain the battery....

What happens when you attempt to install a VPN app?

Yes and yes. Unless you end session for the Dangerous profile. Battery drain just from a VPN client is minimal in my experience.

To install your vpn in other profile go to Settings/System/Multiple Users/Select User/Install Available Apps

Unless you end the session in other profile it will still remain active. When you want to end the session just hold the power button until the menu comes up and then end session. Hope that helps you

I select the app in the Store, and click it to Install, it ask for network permission, I approve, then nothing happen and it doesn't install.... Weird

I will google (Ending session) LOL I am not sure If I am just switching back to the main profile or if it's ending the session when I'm going it....
