That seems like expected behavior, or at least one worth testing with an IP checker or something on the tethered device. I would be pretty surprised if I connected to a VPN on my mobile device, then tethered to it, and my traffic went over the VPN tunnel. I would just establish a VPN tunnel on the tethered device if I wanted that.

The problem is for tethered devices that don't support VPN software, like video game consoles.

i would not expect it to work like that

i’d think my traffic is protected, why protect it twice

I think the average user would not expect that!
