@pcora I thought ProtonVPN has a fix to the issue.

@rom not fully when you are on cellular: protonvpn.com/blog/appl... check the latest update.

@pcora interesting. I wonder if Private Relay solves this issue - hence, not much word from Apple.

@rom no idea, but I would expect that even private relay goes through the VPN.. my expecation is that once I connect to a VPN, all traffic will be routed through it. Anything leaking and it failed its purpose.

@pcora So VPN on iPhone is not working now?

@rishabh It hasn’t been working right for at least two years since the bug was discovered. iOS isn’t tunneling all activity through the VPN when connecting, causing some data to be leaked. Even if you have “send all traffic” enabled it doesn’t work. If you’re on a public wifi and someone performs a MITM attack on the network, you could be exposed.

@rishabh @pcora It sort of works, but the VPN tunnel is leaky. Depending on your use case, this might be a huge issue or no problem at all.

If you're using VPN to hide traffic from your internet service provider, this is bad. Really bad. If you, like me, use VPN to access services that are not available in your country, but don't care about some of your data leaking to your ISP, you're probably fine.

@sod @rishabh yea. For me, it defeats the purpose of paying for a service that they are not able to deliver. Whenever I use vpns are to protect my data on public networks. It’s bad that Apple has not fixed this in so many years..
