mullvad.net
A newly discovered leak in Android allows any app to send traffic outside the VPN tunnel.

The leak involves telling Android to create a keep-alive UDP connection that is offloaded to the hardware Wi-Fi or cellular chip.

GOS fix in progress. Google has reportedly declined the bug report/bounty.

    I don’t see that comment in the linked issue. I do see them triaging and assigning it, though.

        The original comment called him “Danielle” and then edited to fix it to “Daniel”. Given that it’s the feminine version of the name, I think asking for a correction is reasonable, and deleting that request when it is fixed is also reasonable.

        That being said, he could have been more polite about it. Everyone in that thread comes across to me at grumpy, though.
