Feature: PIN Lock #1313

The issue is I use Rethink to filter predatory ads away from my children, whose tablets have no screen lock. They have figured out how to turn off Rethink's protection, so there needs to be a barrier there. An additional option to lock the app would be great. Thank you for your time.

Does Configure -> Settings -> Enable app lock, not suffice?

A VPN can always be turned OFF from Android Settings, btw. So, even if there's a PIN lock, this does nothing to mitigate the issue of a users ability to turn this (or any) VPN OFF.

You can also set Rethink to be an Always-on VPN and ask Android to Block connections without VPN (ref), also called the lockdown mode.
