Auto Connect Fire Stick

[Gravedigger023 0]

Hello Guys,
Today i`ve installed the Eddie-App at my Amazon Firestick 4K. Unfortunately the the App will not connect automatically with the VPN.
Does somebody knows how i can set an Auto-Connect? I always have to open Eddie first and push the Quick-Connect Button.

Best regards,
Gravedigger

Hello!

Please note that auto-connecting VPN apps during device bootstrap is inhibited on Android TV 10 and higher versions. Which  FireOS / Android versions do you both run?

If it's Android TV 9 or older version, in your Eddie app please open the "Settings" view, expand "System" and make sure that "Start VPN at connection boot" is enabled. Check also the "VPN Priority order"

Optionally, consider to populate "AirVPN Default" with servers in "AIRVPN SERVER" view if you wish a connection to a specific set of servers. When those settings are enabled, Eddie should start and connect to a VPN server according to the priority list (Eddie will try the list in ascending order) during device bootstrap after you shut down the device while Eddie is active and connected.

EDIT: if you have Master Password enabled, the connection during the bootstrap can work only with a profile. You need to disable the Master Password if you want that Eddie connects during device bootstrap without a profile. In order to do so, open the "Settings" view, expand "AirVPN" and make sure that "Enable Master Password" item is off.

Kind regards
