Is there an absolute hero out there who can quickly 'translate' what the last few lines of this 'recent wifi doc' means and how, if at all, it relates to me? I use a VPN and am aware of what a 'leaky app' is in principle, so seeing LEAKY_AP_LEARNED_DATA triggered some unease, or at least eagerness of broadly understand what tf it means.
Thank you!

Basically, it means that your WAN-side IP address is not 100% invisible. Not challenging why you are using a VPN, but you may want to consider evaluating others that may work better for you. If this VPN is being provided by your employer, you may want to be this up to their IT department.
Regardless, what P. Phillips has provided you is what these lines, in the screenshot you provided, are referring to. In this case, your WAN-side IP address is still being "seen" from whatever VPN you are using.
Don't use VPN services. The only real need for a VPN is is Mandated to use one from HeadOffice for working Off-Site and counting the HQ Network for work purposes. Otherwise - Commercial VPNs are just harvesting your data in-order to monetize it for their purposes. So, your Data and useable that one believes is Private and Secure is more of a Myth and Truth.
Okay thank you, I see what you're saying. So does that mean my use of a VPN has been redundant? I work from home and use a VPN for a valid reason, so if something has been rendering it pointless I need to fix it. Thanks again
Appreciate the response but it wasn't what I asked?
User wrote " I use a VPN and am aware of what a 'leaky app' is " and to that specific issue - the previous reply.
I didn't ask what a Leaky App is or whether I should I be using a VPN or not..
As the title indicates: Can anyone make sense of this 'recent wifi' document on my Air?
Can anyone make sense of this 'recent wifi' document on my Air? Should I be seeing 'LEAKY_AP'?
