#Android #OPSEC protip:

If you use GrapheneOS, the system level always on #VPN feature is enabled by default if you install a new VPN app.

While there's security reasons for this, it breaks split tunnelling and can cause other unexpected bugs that can be hard to troubleshoot if you don't know what's going on.

If any #GrapheneOS devs are watching this, a notification telling the user this is enabled and a setting to disable this automatic behaviour would be great, especially since the setting to disable always on VPN is buried in menus.

To disable the always on VPN feature for your VPN app on Graphene open the network settings > VPN then hit the gear icon and disable always on VPN.
