    If you’re routing internet traffic via the VPN tunnel then yes of course that’s true.

    But you can be connected to a VPN and only direct specific subnets (like the traditional office network example) to it. You’re not always forced to use it as a default route (using the term loosely here).

      That’s pedantry that serves zero purpose to the story. It’s an article for layman, and the only reason to even bring up a VPN is to mention Apple listening to the Kremlin. It serves little to no narrative purpose.

        And the VPNs that people use for these purposes usually tunnel all traffic unless individual programs have been explicitly added to a list.
