Ios does the same, only way around it is if you have an ?enterprise? licence (250+ devices)

Mullvad and others reported on that one ages ago

Is this really true? The Mullvad report a year or so ago was that they didn’t want to turn on no exceptions mode because it breaks network connectivity until reboot if you don’t pause it when updating the app, not that the feature doesn’t exist. They also recently shipped it anyway, opt in and behind a warning.

Haven't bought one (yet - but did quite a bit of research but again outdated by 2 years...)

For the very specific case where you are connected to that router, yes.
