• prior to this Chrome OS VPN update, I could install VPN apps in Android, but the VPN tunnel would only be accessible through other Android apps.
  • so I needed to install chrome for android in addition to just running the Chrome OS Chrome browser in order to browse intranet websites only accessible via VPN tunnel
• I'm now running latest Chrome OS with the VPN changes
  • confirmed that all traffic flows through the Android VPN tunnel now
  • I'm able to access VPN internal websites from the ChromeOS browser
