Hi everyone,
I recently ran into a scenario where Google flagged my branded mobile app for missing or unclear privacy policy disclosures during rollout testing. While I’m working through updating the policy and app permissions, I realized using a VPN like Stag VPN for testing can be a helpful interim solution.
Here’s how a VPN helped me manage the testing phase:
✅ Securely mimic different geo-locations to test policy and consent screens
✅ Isolate testing environments to avoid IP-based rejections
✅ Maintain network privacy while deploying development builds
Has anyone here used a VPN during rollout reviews or as part of compliance testing? I’m curious if this is a common step in your deployment checklist.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
