Android apps not utilizing Chrome OS VPN connection

Reported by gae...@gmail.com, Nov 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS aarch64 9901.66.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.82 Safari/537.36
Platform: 9901.66.0 (Official Build) stable-channel elm

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Initiate a VPN connection in Chrome OS
2. Open an Android app that can access VPN-specific content
3. Access VPN-specific content from Android app

What is the expected behavior?
The Android app should be able to access the VPN-specific content

What went wrong?
The Android app does not appear to use the VPN for accessing network content

Did this work before? Yes Chrome OS 61

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.82  Channel: stable
OS Version: 9901.66.0
Flash Version: 

I use Cisco Anyconnect to access my work's VPN, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Android app to remote into my machine. This worked the same evening prior to upgrading to Chrome OS 62, and stopped working immediately after update. I was able to get things working by installing the Android app for Cisco Anyconnect and connecting through that. 

Both Chrome OS and Android were connected to the VPN separately, but I didn't confirm if the Android app would have connected for both levels if I hadn't connected to the VPN in Chrome OS first.
