Apple privacy is garbage:
Vulnerabilities
The following potential privacy issues exist in Apple's iOS and iPadOS.
1. Traffic to Apple services can bypass the VPN tunnel. This includes iCloud, Maps, Siri and notifications.
Solution: None. Apple does not make it possible to send this traffic through a VPN.
2. Connections that were established before you connected to Mullvad can bypass the VPN tunnel.
Solution: Connect to Mullvad, enable Airplane mode, turn off Wi-Fi if it’s on, then disable Airplane Mode.
3. Apps on the device can be designed to bypass the VPN tunnel by routing traffic over cellular/mobile data.
Solution: Disable cellular/mobile data when you use Wi-Fi.
4. A malicious Wi-Fi network can instruct the device to send Internet traffic outside of the VPN tunnel. This is known as the TunnelCrack LocalNet attack.
Solution: None.
