The leaks seem to be limited to direct calls to the C function getaddrinfo.
The Chrome browser is an example of an app that can use getaddrinfo directly.
So a Google browser…
The above applies regardless of whether Always-on VPN and Block connections without VPN is enabled or not, which is not expected OS behavior and should therefore be fixed upstream in the OS.
We’ve been able to confirm that these leaks occur in multiple versions of Android, including the latest version (Android 14).
And a Google OS…
We have reported the issues and suggested improvements to Google and hope that they will address this quickly.
I just wish they weren’t so pricey for a casual vpn user. I’d be down with a cheap plan that throttles way down after like 20 gigs a month or something.
That’s why I stopped using Google a few years ago. I moved to ddg and liked it pretty well. I switched to kagi earlier this year and it’s going pretty well. I still run into some captchas that refuse to let me pass. I usually just turn around at that point
Been using Mullvad for over 10 years, first through my dads account and recently bought my own subscription for a year. Very respectable people and a great service. I recommend this to anyone looking for a VPN.
