Mullvad is awesome. i think this is the second android bug/incident they brought to light?
Anyway, really really hope this gets fixed upstream, maybe by Graphene
How much you wanna bet this was intentional by Google? ๐
They didn't bring it to light, it was a user report posted on reddit. They merely investigated it further. Nothing against mullvad, it's a great vpn, but credit where credit is due.
