I recently found out that my mobile provider “leaks” (if you can say that) while I’ve using a VPN. On wifi it is completely fine.
On my phone when I go to the Speedtest app, my Mobile ISP will show up like full name while connected to a VPN. However, if I’m on wifi it will show the VPN’s server provider name instead.
Also instead of the wave wifi icon it shows “LTE”. Is my mobile data actually leaking even though I’m connected to a VPN? How can I fix this?

Wouldn’t that not work outside of the user’s home, or does openWRT have a mobile client or something? I saw there is now a router with preinstalled openwrt on the market and was interested to try one of those IP antenna things with it.
They don’t have mobile client. There is OpenWrt One router by OpenWrt and another is Gl.inet that uses OpenWrt.
