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.

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.
