This basically opposes the VPN lockdown system as Google has documented it, which should route all network traffic, including connectivity checks, through VPN tunnels when the “Block connections without VPN” is active in the settings.Īdditionally, these checks risk user identity unmasking under certain conditions while the user falsely assumes that they are using a secured, encrypted connection with no risky interruptions or leaks.Īs Mullvad explained in its blog post, the issue was discovered during a security audit on its app, but there’s nothing that the VPN vendor can do to remediate the situation or mitigate the problem.
Mullvad VPN has posted a warning on its blog to inform its community, and more specifically those using the Android client, that some connection data is being leaked during the establishment of links with WiFi access points.
