Comment (by cypherpunks): Replying to [ticket:32923 onestep]: > Also, as Android' built in Always-on VPN can take advantage of outdated Orbot's VPN feature to tunnel everything over Tor with zero leak when user chooses Block internet without VPN option in Android network settings. > This is simply and sadly not true! Don't rely on this feature. It is leaky by design! Don't trust this block anything but or orbot feature please! This Android feature natively is multi user supported. This means you can run a 2nd profile (user) or Android guest account or Android work profile under same user without switching and have actively bypass the Android' built in Always-on VPN (block everything else's) option. In fact you can even configure two or more Android always online VPN in coexistence parallel. For this profiles each. And tunneling and blocking some system process seems broken too. Ntp for example. Feel free to check with Wireshark on your own. This is the reason I badly missing transparent proxy with root support removed from orbot earlier. :( ... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32923#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
