Right now there is some internal resistance within the company to using Google Analytics at all. I believe much of it is related to GDPR.

But all this is still in speculative stage, so take it with a grain of salt. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock
