So what you are saying is that you don't trust the application to access your Documents folder, but you trust it with creating a VPN tunnel to keep your network traffic safe?

uhmm....

To me, it seems that if the Documents permission dialogue in fact caught the app doing anything bad, it should remove all trust for the app and the developer. It's all or nothing, really.

No, what I'm saying is that a VPN application does not need access to my Documents folder, and if it tries to access it, then I'd like to know about it.

Nor do I entrust it with all my network traffic. As to whether it warrants completely removing the app or not, it's up to the user to decide, isn't it?
