On: WireGuard: Great protocol, but skip the Mac app

This is not unique to Wireguard. I’ve had this happen with the Lockdown app too. This is an Apple problem. Apple should notify you that the VPN app needs to close in order to upgrade then offer you a simple way of doing that.

This about sums it up. This is a rant and it’s difficult not to just close tab half way through.

Every single rachelbythebay article:

Here's a vague condition. I encountered it at vague companies that I may have worked at. Anyway, whatever, it vaguely caused problems.

Here's my vague workaround or suggestion. Whatever. Bye.

A rant can be useful. The article is just misleading clickbait. Not sure how it got upvoted here.

Strange omission, considering automatically updating Safari extensions asks you to exit Safari when it happens.

Purposeful 1st party omission.

Or maybe an oversight by Wireguard, but with the way Apple limits API access in iOS for 3rd party I'm non-plussed.
