F-Droid is warning users that OpenVPN for Android version 0.7.66 contains a bug that wipes saved VPN profiles. The team is advising users to open the Updates section of the F-Droid client, tap OpenVPN details and select 'ignore this update' until a fix arrives. The PSA highlights the trade-off of faster release cycles, where updates can ship before they are fully stable.

Why now: Users of the F-Droid app store risk losing their VPN configurations if they install the buggy OpenVPN update.
