Hi,
I think that "perfect forward secrecy" should not be optional in a serious secure service any more.

So for communication services/apps and VPN it should be included in the criteria.
Per connection, per session or per time-interval whatsoever but it should be implemented & enabled by default.

PFS-by-default is already an industry standard alive among messaging applications and SSL/TLS, I don't know how many VPN support it however.
