Mullvad pushes an update in a bid to make your iOS VPN app even more secure — but there's a catch

• Mullvad adds a "Force all apps" feature for iOS to ensure traffic cannot leak during updates
• The update leverages an iOS configuration option called includeAllNetworks to act as an airtight kill switch
• Users will now receive a notification to manually disconnect the VPN before installing future app updates

Privacy-focused provider Mullvad is rolling out a major update to its iOS application designed to plug any potential traffic leaks during updates.

In a bid to offer absolute security for the most demanding privacy purists, the best VPN contender is introducing a strict new tool called "Force all apps."

"Soon we will be releasing a new version of the iOS app that will contain a feature called Force all apps," Mullvad confirmed in a recent blog post. "Under the hood, enabling this feature sets the includeAllNetworks configuration option to true."
