Can't use VPN in Secure Folder

[AdhamAttia]

There is a problem in Secure Folder that need to be fixed
If you have VPN application regularly installed and you are connected to VPN
If you open regular browser and check for the IP you will find that you are successful hidden behind the VPN

But if you open the browser installed in Secure Folder and check for IP you will find that you are using your real IP and the VPN is not active

I tried to install a VPN app in the secure folder but it fails to do the required setups to work it only work as regular setup

even VPN manual setup has the same problem

Please Samsung find a solution

you need samsung knox for this if I recall correctly, and no idea if it will work with services like openvpn... but I know there is an option for ipsec in knox.

knox is preinstalled but I find nothing in settings related to VPN

Same problem here in my Note 10 +. I used to use VPN in Secure Folder back in my Note 8 but not anymore in 10 +. Samsung should fix this asap.

Move the VPN app into your secure folder and switch it on from there.

I use Norton VPN service. I've installed inside the Secure Folder and it didn't work. Actually, I can't even list the VPN locations. 

I also tried to use the Norton VPN in the main android space. The VPN works fine, but the channel is not shared with Secure Folder.

well, last message message posted here was in October 2024. It's September 2025 at the time of writing and this is still an issue.

What I know so far:

* The secure folder in practical terms works similar to a separate phone with separate apps and separate vpn connection. Having a VPN app installed on the non-secure folder will NOT have an effect over browsing or using apps that require internet from the secure folder

The issues I'm having:

* The VPN running from the Secure Folder is nearly unusable. I did manage to make it work but after debugging and troubleshooting it seems that the connection gets briefly interrupted if you just switched the phone on or navigate between apps. It is as if the VPN app loses priority and then it causes connectivity issues

The request:

* Samsung can you please make the VPN work from the secure folder?

thank you!
