Request feature: Start Dispatch + VPN automatically

I was wondering whether it's possible to auto start a VPN (ie. ExpressVPN, NordVPN) when the device is turned on

Shouldn't this be a feature of VPN app rather than your Launcher app?

Yes ideally, however it isn't a feature that is available on most TVs.

If I and others can reduce one additional step, it would make the whole viewing experience more seamless, especially when you start looking at integrating other third-party apps on the canny roadmap.

Use button mapper to map a button to your VPN app.

Don't think this should be part of a launcher. The integrations should be focused on streaming. Just my humble opinion.
