[QUOTE="lunarlander, post: 812982, member: 66581"] Hi, Does mobile VPN encrypt incoming and outgoing traffic? I take it is given that they encrypt outgoing traffic, but do they encrypt traffic that comes back? 2nd Question. Can a always on VPN replace a firewall? If I set the VPN to always on, and specify that no connections allowed unless VPN is on ( In settings > network & internet > VPN > (myVPNprovider) : Always ON + block connections without VPN. My thinking is this: if all connections are encrypted, and all goes to the vpn server. Then, any attacks comming inbound should not work, unless Android is starting a listening service; accepting incomming traffic. And I have read that Android does not have any listening services.
