If you’re using WireGuard, then have a look for an ‘on-demand’ setting where you can define which networks require VPN.
Thanks. But hypothetically even in that scenario if I'm offline and I want to turn VPN on, first I need toconnect to internet and then trought that initial connection communicate with the vpn server to turn VPan on. Right? So I'll still be volnurable for a moment especially if a lot of app are programmed to sent data onlne the moment they find internet access.
