Had to shut down Mullvad VPN today because it used ~1.5GB of data (of my 2GB plan 🙃) over about 30 minutes. No other app is even close to 150MB in the same time period so it can’t be that. Why would this occur? I don’t trust the app anymore, I was just lucky to have been using my phone while my 2GB warning came up…

[Edit: on wifi the data usage is about 50% Mullvad and 50% all other apps, which seems reasonable, but would speak against for example DAITA (thank you to @ballesterer13 for bringing this up) since on regular data Mullvad has consumed almost 2.6GB and all my other apps combined is ~300MB. Or, why would DAITA consume 1.5GB over thirty minutes rather than just constant extra use -like wifi data shows.]
