"Apple’s iOS 13.4 Hit By VPN Bypass Vulnerability"

Researchers from ProtonVPN have found that apple's new update iOS 13.4 that was released last week, has a bug that puts at risk the privacy of Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections.  The flaw is a bypass flaw that is caused by iOS not closing existing connections as it establishes a VPN tunnel.  Apple was informed about the flaw and is working on creating a patch for the flaw.  Researchers at ProtonVPN have found a workaround to this flaw that users can use before the patch comes out.    To get around the flaw, users need to turn airplane mode on and off to reset all connections.  Turning on the airplane mode will kill all internet connections and temporarily disconnect the VPN.  Then once the airplane mode is turned off, the VPN will reconnect, and other connections should also connect inside the VPN tunnel.  The researchers have stated that this is not guaranteed to work 100 percent of the time.
