>either do whatever Torbrowser does or use the most popular iPhone.
Using a iPhone does not preclude you from being blindsided, as illustrated by a NordVPN bug, which was exposed a couple of weeks ago.
Here's how it works:
The user first connects to 1.1.1.1 with Warp, then disables the app without turning off Warp. Then, when connecting to a NordVPN server with ikev2 protocol, the iOS device will report as being connected to NordVPN and secured, without actually being connected. In other words, you're connected and protected, but you're not.
