Hi @Issues4Life
(1) Exactly how does F-Secure Freedome protect me while I am surfing the web on my iPhone ( Software Version: 13.7 ) via a cellular signal?
When F-Secure FREEDOME VPN protection is enabled, your internet gets routed through the location you have selected in the FREEDOME user interface. Since your internet connection is routed, your true location is hidden. The web pages and services you connect you only see the IP address of the FREEDOME location you are connected to. You can verify that the protection is working by following leak test.
- Turn Freedome VPN OFF and open this webpage or this webpage on your browser.
- Make a note of any public IP addresses you see
- Close the browser
- Connect to your Freedome VPN and reopen the webpage again
- If you still see any of the public IP addresses from Step 2, then you have a privacy leak
You can also perform DNS leak test by visiting this webpage with Freedome ON
(2) Will F-Secure continue to track this problem and keep us updated via email?

Sethu ...
I haven't heard back from you regarding my last comment ...
Also, what I'm hearing today is that the latest "Apple iOS" IS NOW leaking all traffic outside the VPN tunnel regardless of how "Airplane Mode" is manipulated.
QUESTION(S):
- Is this true?
- Is the Freedome VPN protection for "Apple iOS" devices done for?

Hi,
I hope it's okay for me to be posting in this thread, but I didn't want to create a new thread when I have such a similar problem.
I'm running iOS 12 on my iPad Mini 3 as this is the latest iOS that's available for me.
Is it possible for my IP address to be leaked out?
Will there be a kill switch on any iOS in the future such as iOS 12/iOS 13/iOS 14/ iOS 15?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Sethu ...
I am refusing to update my IOS ...
I am currently at IOS 14.3 and I am still having to manipulate "Airplane Mode" ...
It's been over a month since my February 10 post ...
Is there any response from the "Freedome Team" regarding this issue?
Thank you in advance ...
