It does not. I control which apps I install. Any app, xposed or not, could inject code to run as root but for it to do anything to the system or look at personal details or to mess with privilged settings, I would have to allow it.

That's a huge security risk. What is?

Just FYI, I've rooted all my phones for years and run xposed most of the time. I know most devs do not like xposed but for me it has never caused any problems; OpenVPN Connect works flawlessly on my S5 with AICP 6.01 at the moment. It all depends which xposed modules you run against whichever ROM so I would disable modules one by one if there was some problem, before removing xposed completely.

Where?

Everything could be relevant. You haven't even told us which server you are using. How do you expect anyone to know anything? The log is under a tab called 'Logs'.

Try more server locations.

The logs tell us much much more than that.

Its not stupid. Yes.

Everything is on the home page; there is a button to 'Get AirVPN' which takes you to a page where you select an operating system and then you can download the client (Eddie!) and further down the home page on the right it says 'AirVPN Client - Eddie' quite clearly, with a screenshot. The NETWORK LOCK is controlled from within Eddie, not the website.

Posteo, ever since @giganerd mentioned it ages ago + gmail - brill spam filter!

For what its worth I use msecure because it was the only one that ticked all my boxes at the time - mainly because it works on Windows & Android and synchronizes automatically using dropbox or wifi. It isn't open source. I wasn't using Linux then and unfortunately there isn't a Linux version. So I run Win7 in a VM solely for the purpose of running msecure and it syncs through dropbox perfectly and quick.

Thanks for that @S.O.A. It pretty much matches my usage. Tend to use Tor Browser by default.

Try using spoiler tags, people would be more likely to respond. Uninstalling/Reinstalling software is almost always a waste of time, a backward step, solves nothing. I would open a support ticket unless anyone can spot something here ?

https://myaccount.talkmobile.co.uk appears to be blocked from all but UK servers, while the rest of the site isn't !

Examine current processes and what is due to run at startup. As @ɹoɹɹǝ wrote too. Edit: I do not require anyones input, I know what I am doing thanks very much.
