I have an issue connecting to my companies VPN and I suspect it's due to the MAC randomization feature.
I'm currently running Android 10 and can't find the setting anywhere. I even enabled developer options, but nothing there under Networking either.
Can anyone confirm if this setting is available in Android 11 or 12? Thanks!

I would look for the random mac address in the advanced settings of the wifi connection to the router. After connecting to the router of course.
Of course I should have checked that by now, lol.
The MAC tied to my DHCP assignment is indeed NOT randomized.
Not sure what the deal is with my VPN, as it works fine via the cellular network, just not over WiFi (no matter what network I'm on).
I'm still curious if this setting is included in Android 12. I may have to upgrade sooner than later to troubleshoot this one.

Hello everybody, in last few days i've been worried much about internet on my phone. Because i was having problems with my router's wi-fi broadcaster. So i decided to set up an adhoc network with my laptop. But my DHD refused to even detect it. So i searched for solution and was quiet astonished to see that all DHD custom roms are out of options for adhoc network support. So i searched for solutions and here is the outcome for my efforts.
DHD Support for AdHoc Networks................
How to:
1- Download zip file
2- Boot into recovery (not bootloader)
3- flash zip file
Now your DHD is supposed to detect and connect adhoc networks.
Note: Set your adhoc network's security to WEP (at least 10 or 13 characters)

The Orweb Tor Browser from the Guardianproject has a really serious security flaw. The actual ip of an user can be determined by using HTML5 video or audio elements, despite the user is connected via the TOR connection.

The problem is the underlying WebView component which doesn't handle proxy settings correctly. There's also a blog post from August 21st, 2013 on this problem. Nevertheless, the browser with over 1 million installations is still available in the PlayStore and might be widely used. The developers offer an alternative solution with the Firefox Addon proxy mobile that isn't affected by this bug.
More details are available at Why you really shouldn't use Orweb anymore.

The ip leakage can be reproduced with at least Android 2.3.5, Android 4.1.2 and Android 4.3.
I don't know if you guys are encountering the same difficulty as I with certain apps, the problem in the case is that they only connect to the data mobile and Wi-Fi just do not work. I saw that the problem also occurs in One + and some Pixel, all with the Pie version.
After a long time trying to solve the problem, trying everything, formatting everything, trying on different Wi-Fi networks, and nothing worked.
The applications I had a problem with were: Netflix, Twitter, some websites, speed meters like SpeedNet, and so on ...
For now the only solution I found was using AFWall + firewall and disabling IPv6 for the entire system, the following link and configuration is below:

In the application preferences, in Rules / Connectivity leave it as it is in the screenshots

Does anyone experience the same issue when you connect to wi-fi, mobile data indicator keeps showing it is still in use?
I turned off "Switch to mobile data" in wifi connection configs, in dev configs "Always use mobile data" is turned off as well. Also, tried restarting phone and resetting connectivity configs to defaults. Nothing helps.
I'm on the latest software update
Try using bixby routines to automate mobile data off when connected to a WiFi network.

In answering the question asked with this thread's title: No it is not possible because a VPN-connection is listed in device's network interfaces. It's status is either enabled or disabled.
So this way "died" on mobiles. Would be a possible way trying on PC-s, or i run the same problem?
