I recently found out that my mobile provider “leaks” (if you can say that) while I’ve using a VPN. On wifi it is completely fine.
On my phone when I go to the Speedtest app, my Mobile ISP will show up like full name while connected to a VPN. However, if I’m on wifi it will show the VPN’s server provider name instead.
Also instead of the wave wifi icon it shows “LTE”. Is my mobile data actually leaking even though I’m connected to a VPN? How can I fix this?
Doesn’t prevent them to grab more via the application from the os exposed data besides what they get from the network test they run. From the Apple Store page they siphon a fair bit of data including location / usage data / « other data » and more… Which is likely why those services have a tendency to redirect users to apps: they get more details about them.
