LAN scan on Android seems some not all devices with VPN enabled.

Michael2

Using Wifi on Android 8.1 and Freedome app version 2.4.3.6800.

I do a Fing scan looking for other devices on the same SSID.

With the VPN off, Fing sees all the devices.

With the VPN on Fing, sees *some* devices but most are not detected.

 

Is this a bug or is it supposed to work this way?

The network is not a Trusted Wifi network.

I would prefer that with the VPN on,  a LAN scan sees no other devices.

 

 I have tested this two different Wifi networks and the results are the same. One network was open, the other was WPA2.

Hi Michael2,

 

I'm trying to find further information regarding your query. I will keep you posted once I have an update.

Hi

Some explanations:
FING SCAN= locate devices on your wireless network
SSID= service set identifier
Is it so Michael2, that all your devices are not under Freedome? > some seen, some not

Yes, all the LAN devices were not connected to Freedome VPN.
