Android Block connections without VPN

Recommended Posts

I use "OpenVPN for Android" and in the settings for Android (More>VPN>cog on OpenVPN for Android and then I enable both Always on and block connection without VPN.

 

The issue is, when I switch from WIFI to mobile data, the VPN can't connect to any server and so I have to disable both settings, then I have to turn off mobile data and turn it back on for it to even be able to get a 4g connection, and then I connect to the server and then I can re-enable the always on and never connect options. But going from Mobile to WiFi is fine and it always connects without a problem.

 

This is obviously annoying but I don't want to go without a VPN so I deal with it. Is there an explanation for this?

Hello!

 

Please test Eddie Android edition, it is able to handle such network switches more properly. Eddie features a thorough Android network, OpenVPN warnings and OpenVPN errors monitoring and handling which allow to take the most appropriate decision on each circumstance.

 

In your case, Eddie will not "lock" the network during the switch, unless absolutely unavoidable. And even if this happened, you would not need to follow the time consuming procedure you perform with OpenVPN for Android: you can just click two buttons to unlock the network and restart a VPN connection.

 

Eddie Android edition 1.0 is currently in Release Candidate 4. As such, some instability is still there, but it will be resolved in the next version which is coming out "real soon now". Please see here:

Kind regards
