It should be noted that the VPN only turns on when it automatically connects to pre-approved APs. Google didn't disclose to me what those APs are.

Why would you submit a PR - wouldn't you just create an issue (you don't want to select a license for their project)? In either case - my experiences with PRs have been really negative (and I'm not surprised).
