I have never done this when I had an iphone before, I know that: > Traffic to Apple services can bypass the VPN tunnel. This includes iCloud, Maps, Siri and notifications Mullvad VPN iOS limitations But on a router level, I don’t think I’ve read anything to show that Apple traffic can or can not bypass it.

I think there are ways to spoof iOS location, but I doubt any of them are open source and privacy respecting (although been awhile since I last looked into it). If you manage to have any success with it, I would be interested in seeing the results and what you found.
