Must do a restart for multiple VPN sessions

VPN
1

Just opt-in for android 11 beta, there is one only issue regarding VPN service. Whenever I disconnect from a VPN session, what ever the VPN app is, I must do a device restart to make another VPN session.

Anyone has the issue, any workaround is appreciated. Thanks!

Mind trying this

  • Turn Off wifi/mobile data
  • start vpn(tested on freedome vpn) …It should state ‘Connecting…’
  • Turn On wifi…VPN should connect, but you will have no internet access.
  • Turn On mobile data…still no internet access
  • Turn Off wifi
  • VPN should start working and you will have internet access.(Tested on Freedome VPN-openvpn)

It should at least save you time instead of rebooting.

Thanks a ton!

In my case the workaround is…
When the VPN app is not working, don’t disconnect.
Turn off wifi and mobile data.
Disconnect VPN connection.
Turn wifi and data back on.
Connect VPN server.
It works again!

Unfortunately this won’t work with vpns such as AnyConnect because it requires active internet connection upon VPN connection…
