An amazing bit of digital detective work here. Seems like Linux mobile is your only off ramp from being exhaustively tracked
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·5 hours ago Not the magic bullet people think they are. No one thinks VPNs are “magic bullets”. I don’t know why this gets repeated ad nauseum. Oh, and you can’t turn it off, so you’ll have to take the loss in network speed on absolutely everything. True but it’s not that bad. And better know how to configure each device so it doesn’t go ahead and check leak your IP anyways Just choose a good provider. You don’t need to configure anything. if any device on your network ever connects to the net without the VPN, then your anonymity just went out the window. That’s what kill switches are for.
