with VPN approach you don't get to control traffic outside routed
range, or before VPN activates, or fail-safe if it drops
un-expectedly, or ...

it's better than nothing, for some less sensitive uses.


note that a tor enforcing gateway approach is preferable to
transparent proxy, security wise. e.g. corridor. i haven't seen this
applied to Android env, which might be interesting safety buffer
around Orweb&Orbot.
