Research suggests that VPNs may not be as secure as they claim when connecting via an untrusted network. Attackers on the same network can force a target's traffic off the protection provided by their VPN without triggering any alerts to the user.

Mitigations include using a device powered by Android, relying on a cellular hotspot, or running a VPN inside a virtual machine.
