Using Loupe, we found out that Proton VPN is the only VPN that prevents internal tunnel IP fingerprinting by assigning 10.2.0.2 to all users. Other VPNs, such as Mullvad, assign a static and unique IP per session. This allows iOS apps to track user sessions across apps.

Mullvad is aware of this issue. It is described in this blog:
