You say that the VPN is always on, but wasn't there a post on HN some time ago that showed that on iOS VPN is not 100% used for all data? Might have been this one: https://www.michaelhorowitz.com/VPNs.on.iOS.are.scam.php https://www.michaelhorowitz.com/VPNs.on.iOS.are.scam.php
So potentially your real IP was leaked otherwise, Google became aware of that IP and geolocated you, without Maps data?
- ogeiczvm 4y agoI am aware of the IP leak in iOS but that's only for Apple services, Google Maps will always use the outbound VPN IP. Something to note though - in my post I never mentioned the "real IP" - all tests were done to change the geoIP data of the VPN IP - and that always works as expected.
