I seriously doubt if Mullvad with Lockdown Mode, IVPN with its Kill-switch, or any VPN set up via the terminal with Wireguard with kill switch enabled leaks traffic.
They say they are using a straight forward set up. Meaning default settings. It’s not the best way to test because they are ignoring other settings and features that ensure no traffic is leaked.
I don’t buy it. This is clickbait and not done in good faith.
