Hello,
On iOS devices, We are seeing an issue with YouTube casting when local loop back VPN is turned on.
Issue is that casting fails when attempted with VPN ON.
and WiFiMan does not show local access points.
This local VPN is an extension of the Packet Tunnel Provider. We have tried adding permissions for local network access, using the Privacy -Local Network Usage Description and Bonjour services - with bonjour.tcp and lnp.tcp
Despite requesting these permissions and the user accepting the request, we continue to see the issue with Youtube casting and WifiMan.
Do we need some more permissions? Looking for help with this issue.
Thanks!

Hello ,
In iOS devices, When using an app that provides a local VPN ( this VPN does not send traffic outside the device- makes some checks and packets reach the original destination) The data usage is incorrectly attributed to the VPN app as well as the app where the data has originated.
For example when playing a video on YouTube on cellular data with a VPN on :
Settings app shows data consumed by YouTube consumption as 10MB and the VPN app consumption as an additional 8 MB.
The data usage attributed to the apps is not constant and varies each time.
However the service provider shows for that session only 10 MB was used.
We tried this over different kinds of VPN both local and remote and the random data usage was attributed all VPN apps. During this experiments we had data turned off for all other apps as well
Is a fix for this on the map? Can the app developer do something so the data does not get attributed ?
