Hello, thanks for sharing. We tried to talk with our reviewer (phone and resolution center) but he insists, that VPN is not intended for such use case. In my opinion it depends on the viewpoint. Reviewer's view is that we use VPN for functionality not related to VPN. Our view is that we _are_ VPN that provides extended functionality.

Yeah, skip the reviewer, they cite the rules endlessly, even if the rule they are citing has no connection to the actual problem (in your case it does, but still). App Review Board, send in your plea, that's that.
You haven't been entirely upfront though.

Is your app providing a proper VPN service or is it just for website analytics ?

But is that how you market yourself to consumers, as a VPN, that also provides additional functionality? Or as a traffic analytics tool (that just so happens to be a VPN)?

The way YOU view your product is one thing- but how you market and present the app to customers is another.

A spammer might view their spam as "marketing email", but that doesn't make it so just because of their viewpoint
