Tests indicate that every VPN product is vulnerable on at least one device, the researchers say. VPNs for iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and macOS are extremely likely to be vulnerable, that a majority of VPNs on Windows and Linux are vulnerable, and that Android is the most secure with roughly one-quarter of VPN apps being vulnerable.

Very few people have functional leak checking set up; personally, I think it should be a built-in OS level function.

It would be nice. But it's a hard problem to solve. To figure out somebody's intense by running a VPN or having certain IP routing rules.

I do like in this guy day emphasize setting up routing rules so the VPN can only route traffic to VPN endpoints. It's a nice fail safe
