Key icon in notification bar

[GhostFoxx]

I've got an S25 Ultra, and after the 2nd update, the key icon is now in the notification bar along with the constant "Verizon is protected" notification that won't go away. I dismiss it, and it just comes back. Anyone else?

That's a VPN. You must have one running if that icon is displayed.

The notification and the key won't go away unless the VPN is turned off. Find the app and turn it off. Unless, being Verizon, they don't allow it to be turned off.

Is it normal that it came on by itself? Should I turn it off?

If you don't want it running, turn it off.
