We were recently made aware of multiple potential DNS leaks on Android. They stem from bugs in Android itself, and only affect certain apps.

    I thought sharing the VPN was blocked and not possible. Do you remember how you did?

      I think that’s a feature in newer android versions, but maybe some manufacturers disallow it.

      Ive recently managed to do this;

      Settings> Network & Internet> Hotspot & Tethering> Allow Clients To Use VPN
