Android - always on VPN

Recommended Posts

I want to activate an always-on VPN on my Android phone, so only VPN connections are allowed, and any connection outside of the VPN tunnel should be blocked. Android does have an "always on" setting, but how do you set this up with AirVPN? I only find guides for the "OpenVPN for Android" app, which doesn't seem to truly support this functionality (they have their TUN setting, but they say themselves that it only "attempts" to block non-VPN traffic).

 

I can't use a firewall because my phone is not rooted (and I do not want to root it).

 

So, in short: Is it possible with the standard Android VPN interface + AirVPN, to block ALL non-VPN traffic?

In Settings, the second option is to select a VPN profile for when the device boots and for Always-On. The third setting enables connect on boot.

It works good, try it out.
