VPN on android tablet

[Your_Maaa 0]

I'm new to vpn's, have installed and got running on my galaxy tablet.. check my ip etc and it gives the false ip as expected..

 

Now, when I use any other app on my tablet will these also be secure? Ie youtube, imdb...

 

Does my current session protect all traffic or just my web browser?

 

Thanks

Your apps won't change; they will have the same security status. If there were vulnerabilities before they're not closed by connecting to an OpenVPN server. Now, to answer your question,...

All traffic of your tablet is redirected through the OpenVPN server. Your browser is just an app, too, so it's safe to assume all other apps are also redirected.

thanks for that, i was hoping everything would be routed through the VPN...

 

i know i can use iplocator.net and dnsleaktest.com to verify my browser session, 

 

i have also changed my incoming port in vuse using the forwarded ports option on here so i can  download torrent files annonymously.....is there a way i can check if this is masked as well?
