ANSWERED Eddie disconnecting with Always On VPN

[SpongeMallet 0]

Preface, I'm kind of dumb when it comes to VPNs and networking and all that. I'm gonna need the dumbed-down version. 

I have Eddie set to stay connected to one server and Always-On VPN is on in my phone. However, it keeps disconnecting. I get the alert attached. What gives? Is this just how Eddie operates? I'm really having a hard time with the UI and with it continually disconnecting.

I'd like to know the answer to this, too.

I understand that Eddie probably seeks to switch servers in an effort to find the better connection and lighten the load on heavily used servers, but if I have "Lock current" enabled in the server list, why does it disconnect and then reconnect (to the same server, of course)?

Hello!

Please note that the OP talks about Eddie Android edition, while "Lock current" is a feature of Eddie Desktop edition which forces a lock on the VPN tunnel, therefore preventing leaks but also preventing re-connections of course. This option is obsolete and even uncomfortable on Android 8 and higher versions. Actually it is disabled by default.
Please feel free to open a ticket or a new thread, anyway be informed that "Lock current" forces Eddie Desktop edition to re-connect always to the last server it was connected to.
The original problem of the OP was resolved by disabling "VPN Lock". A new problem arose but it's not related to the previous one, so this thread can be locked.

Kind regards
