I love how it’s called ´Sapphires’ and there is one gem in the painting. There is blue in the curtain, in the dress, in the turban and, very subtly, in the eyes.

The eyes, though so subtle, make me think they might be the real reason for the title.

Sounds like the attack bypasses the VPN entirely. It’s not a worry on your home network if you control the DHCP server. But, on public networks, where you really should always use a VPN, you can’t be sure your traffic is going through the VPN.

Maybe, you can check a trusted site like the VPN provider’s webpage to see if you’re going through the VPN. But, a really sophisticated attack could potentially route just that traffic through the VPN and everything else outside of it.
