It's also worth pointing out that tethered/hotspot data shared to the iPhone with a VPN enabled at the iPhone level will not travel through the VPN, but will rather leak your phone's IP: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/266871/is-there-a-way-to-force-tethered-data-to-go-through-an-ios-vpn-instead-of-passi https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/266871/is-there-a-...
- icelancer 4y agoThat seems like expected behavior, or at least one worth testing with an IP checker or something on the tethered device. I would be pretty surprised if I connected to a VPN on my mobile device, then tethered to it, and my traffic went over the VPN tunnel. I would just establish a VPN tunnel on the tethered device if I wanted that.
