# Data that isn’t protected by the VPN
Not all network data from your device is protected by the VPN. Examples of data that aren’t protected by the VPN include:
- Tethering traffic
- This includes USB and Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Wi-Fi calling and other IMS services
- Work profile app traffic
- This applies if a work profile is configured on your device.
All of which make sense to me except push notifications. My guess is they might mean syncing notifications to e.g. a watch.
I might test that later, but this (old) SE question seems to confirm my memory: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/266871/is-there-a-...

- Tethering traffic
- Push notifications- Wi-Fi calling and other IMS services
- Work profile app traffic
- Data traffic from an app that routes traffic directly over the Wi-Fi or a cellular connectionAll of which make sense to me except push notifications. My guess is they might mean syncing notifications to e.g. a watch.
