Hello!
We confirm that it's not possible for Eddie to start during the bootstrap of any un-rooted device running Android TV 10, 11 and 12, and this is not an Eddie-specific limitation, simply because "Always on VPN" has become mandatory for the purpose, but at the same time Android TV has always had this feature removed. Should we find a solution to circumvent this deliberate limitation on un-rooted devices, we will be willing to implement it, but at the moment we are not aware of any solution. OpenVPN connect, OpenVPN for Android and other apps undergo the very same limitation.
Kind regards
