TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Mullvad VPN is rolling out an optional iOS master-switch fix that forces all traffic through the VPN using includeAllNetworks.
The change is meant to stop VPN data leaks and block LocalNet attacks on iPhones and iPads.
Mullvad is also adding a safeguard to avoid an Apple update/bricking loop tied to the new setting.
If users hit update issues, Mullvad says they should disable the VPN or the setting during system or app updates.
