Agreed with most comments here, the implementation is leaky as heck. It’s a ‘best efforts’ VPN service at best and you can tell this especially when in a mall and there’s a walled garden in place. I use iVPN and regularly have to disable wireguard to pass the walled garden to then also regenerate a certificate. Enabling VPN through the iVPN app is hit and miss, likely because Apple have decided to do their own thing and implement ‘Private relay’ instead.

Yeh… Apple, Five Eyes, Privacy is all pretty much an illusion when you have this many devices in this many pockets. Whatever it is, vpn’s or end to end encryption, it’s all really only as secure as the touch screen controller telemetry logs.

Agreed, context here is timely for sure. Large groups perhaps trying to secretly coordinate online to stage an '' event''? Web technologies for this are abundant; and yet so very easily infiltrated. End to end encryption is redundant if you've no idea who to trust.

I rolled back from Big Sur beta to Catalina purely as the kext blocks killed my Docker, Vagrant and virtual box. Is it better now? Big Sur looks pretty but under the hood much change there is.
