>"fixing a DNS leak will make you private and that's the only reason you're not!

This is not said or implied anywhere in Mullvad literature. In fact, they say the opposite.

"A VPN isn’t the entire solution for privacy. Here’s the kind of monitoring it can’t protect you against."

From https://mullvad.net/en/vpn/what-is-vpn



> Depending on your threat model this might mean that you should avoid using Android altogether for anything sensitive, or employ other mitigations to prevent the leaks. We aim to partially mitigate these problems in our app, so make sure to keep the app up-to-date."

This statement clearly implies this is the reason that Android is currently not safe.


No, it tells you that this issue warrants a reevaluation of your Android usage based on your threat model.


> This statement clearly implies this is the reason that Android is currently not safe.

I don't see the clear implication, and I don't see the point of going into a deep dive on all the risks in every press release.


I think this was meant in reply to the other person, not me?


Yes, HN doesn't allow replies over a certain depth sometimes.


It's just time-gated. But you can bypass the time-gate by clicking on the "x minutes ago" beside the username to view the comment directly.


Thank you!
