ExpressVPN bug leaked user IPs in Remote Desktop sessions

ExpressVPN has fixed a flaw in its Windows client that caused Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) traffic to bypass the virtual private network (VPN) tunnel, exposing the users' real IP addresses. One of the key premises of a VPN is masking a user's IP address, allowing users to stay anonymous online, and in some cases, bypass censorship. Failing to do so is a severe technical failure for a VPN product. ExpressVPN is a leading VPN service provider, consistently rated among the top VPN services, and

Artificial intelligence has obviously been the industry craze for the past couple years. While large language models are incredibly capable, they’ve always come with a bit of a compromise: privacy.

Constraints keep the integrity of your system and prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.
