If so, surely they'd provide a reason for the disconnection.
even though im cracking apps and sharing them through mega.nz, it is not a valid reason to just stop a customer's wifi

Hope it gets sorted out soon!i monitor my wifi quite frequently, like every few hours. i've already had some unwanted people on the network but i just blacklisted them and thats it, i get a notification everytime a device connects & disconnects
i didn't have any unwanted devices connecting to my wifi since april

If so, that's the most pathetic reason (that I've had the displeasure of reading) to terminate an Internet connection.

maybe use a vpn next time just for one specific browser or app...etc.
As Proton vpn has tunnel splitting(it takes some time but you can create as many accounts as you want with premium for one week). Use guerillamail to validate your account when requested.Or find/ask for nord accounts(those are actually in thousands leaked online).

This Is a prime example of why you should always navigate behind a VPN. Your ISP can see that you're connected to the VPN, but not anything beyond that.
