If the issue did occur after a crash, providing us with the crash report ID would be helpful (you can do this by going to brave://crashes and sharing the crash report ID left under the event) And for all those bug repors here on the forum: I read a lot of them and to be honest, most of the time people are just too lazy to wait one or two days, do misunderstand a thing or have done something wrong by themselves. I’ve rarely seen any cases where any large sum of BAT were lost – most of the time they could be recovered very easily and the Brave team was always helpful if you take the time to write a detailed report instead of just complaining with one-liners like “where’s my BAT? Help!”… I’m not running any firewalls on my computer. My home wifi does have a firewall, but my family is able to run brave ok on it. I do not user VPN and the only extension I use is pw manager, which is enabled, and which I reset, cleared and relogged in but still having same issues. A portion of that, in detail [I dis-assembled Apple’s paragraphs, so I could read it more easily]: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) . . .

YoloSwaggins Renaming would have been a workaround more than a fix. It would have been nice to be able to have pursued on your issue to determine the problem and have teams work with you to get a proper fix. That said, I’m going to ask you some questions and we’ll see how much you can provide.It’s important to note that any VPN or service that’s going to keep you the safest and offer the best protections will have to be able to pay for their services somehow. If not from you, then where do you think the money is coming from? Without money, quality and safety drops.

You can use their free ProtonVPN, it’s your choice but free costs them a lot of money, so maybe you should start by wondering: Why are they so caritative giving things for free and losing money doing that? To whoever mod it may concern: This was not triggered by a settings change. It was probably triggered by an auto-update in the weekend and I can still reproduce it up to this time by enabling all adlists. Android is already using WireGuard and iOS is using the Guardian Connect API which we can change to be using WireGuard. We should look at getting Desktop moved over too Those protocols are in fact free, and there are even routers that can act as server/client or just server. But then, try to use a commercial grade router to try to achieve high speed connections, you sometimes can’t, because they need good processor and memory because of the encryption making connections slower, especially OpenVPN. The breakpoint exception type indicates a trace trap interrupted the process. A trace trap gives an attached debugger the chance to interrupt the process at a specific point in its execution.INSUFFICIENT INFO WILL GET THE ISSUE CLOSED. IT WILL ONLY BE REOPENED AFTER SUFFICIENT INFO IS PROVIDED-->

What OS are you using where the issue occurred (be as specific as possible, eg Win 10, Win 11, macOS Ventura v13.3.1)? Yes and no. Nothing is ever completely free. Some are able to support by also offering premium tiers. But many others sustain themselves through collecting and/or selling your information, even if they claim they don’t. A good example of this is https://www.techradar.com/news/millions-of-free-vpn-users-records-leaked where they had announced they don’t collect your data but then a database containing this information was found. On ARM processors, this appears as ‘EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP).’ On ‘x86_64’ processors, this appears as ‘EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)’. Personally, I hate anything that greatly restricts my capabilities. The purpose of a computer, for me, is so I can visit anywhere I want and install any program I desire. With that always does come with increased risk, but if you use common sense you generally won’t have issues.Once your Login data file is located, open the file using your SQLite viewer and confirm whether or not your data is still present here. I wanted to update you all on the status of this issue and assure you that our developers are actively looking into it. Issue is likely Chromium based As this is an important issue, rather than waiting for a fix to come from upstream (as we often do with Chromium based issues), we are attempting to see if this is something that is within our scope to fix ourselves. Note that this is a non-trivial issue and a rather large undertaking and may take some time. You can read more about this in the “Advanced reading” section below. Actions users can take to help

Yes, there are bugs and there are glitches with the rewards system but all in all I am a happy user of Brave and all issues I’ve stumbled upon have been resolved by the Brave team so far. But, you always need to connect to a server, which you need to pay to get access to, so the famous VPN will give you a guide to connect to their VPN servers through OpenVPN and Wireguard or PPTP. This allowed me the chance to add the Sync Code. Since both devices were broken, I had no access to the Sync Code. One from a text file said it was expired. I had a 6 month old Acronis image of the laptop and installed that to put Windows 11 on it and grabbed the Sync Code from there. It worked. I now have a fresh text file of the Sync Code and can try to help out here for everyone else’s benefit. trap the process with this exception upon encountering an unrecoverable error, and log additional information about the error in the ‘Additional Diagnostic Information’ section of the crash report. and again deleted what was previously recommended by Brave Support (the “cffkpbalmllkdoenhmdmpbkajipdjfam” folder):The current implementation of VPN on Desktop works on macOS and … Windows using OS specific code. This has some limitations which don't offer the best customer experience. Here are some examples: I’ve earned about 1000 BAT so far just by using the rewards system and referring it to some friends and family members – yes, others have earned way more but for me this translates to about 200+ Euros which is quite an amount for just using it. (I could have certainly earned way more if I would have more than a handful of social media followers…) Problem occurred just over a week ago after updating to the previous version to this one I am on now. I did the renaming workaround to open the crash log and there don’t seem to be any crashes reported
