I am a tiny bit concerned.

Using #MullvadVPN @mullvadnet on #GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS I need to disable GrapheneOS' default VPN protections to make split tunneling work.

I use that to prevent #Youtube from blocking me (poorly the good times are over it seems), and to have local network stuff (#RDP, #LocalSend, #KDEConnect, #SyncthingFork) work.

Are all these apps bypassing my VPN?? Or are they collecting data themselves and the system can access that?

The GB numbers indicate the latter?

Mullvad VPN ( @mullvadnet ) dismissed allegations of a data breach involving dozens of its users' accounts being found on the dark web. The VPN provider explained that the accounts in question were not leaked but were given away for free to various organizations, some of which may have subsequently shared them on public forums. Mullvad's CEO emphasized that these accounts do not contain personally identifiable information like passwords, and they do not compromise user privacy. The company is known for its strong commitment to user privacy and security online and has previously demonstrated its no-log policy.

To my German friends. If you use a combination of #FritzBox router, #Vodafone ISP and #MullvadVPN - meaning you are trying to set up #Wireguard on the router itself - be wary, that this setup is known to leak your IPv6 address. On the other hand, if you use Mullvad VPN App on your OS, everything works fine. Not sure who to blame here specifically, but this has been a disturbing revelation to me. Be careful.
