Always on VPN blocks internet access when phone is rebooted (lemmy.world)

I just upgraded my LG V20 (H918) phones to LineageOS 19.1 and all is working great except when I restart my phone when using a VPN with the "Always-On VPN" setting and "Block connections without VPN" setting is enabled, my phone cannot access the internet. Therefore my VPN cannot connect to its VPN services and connect to a VPN server. The only way to connect to my VPN from this point on is to disable "Always-On VPN" setting and "Block connections without VPN" setting and reboot my phone and then it will be able to connect to the VPN server.

I did not have this issue before. And I do not want to disable "Always-On VPN" setting and "Block connections without VPN" setting since this acts as a built in Android VPN kill switch.

Using openvpn, my phone usually doesn't connect on startup, but opening the app and telling it to connect works.

Same 'always on' settings.

Before with my VPN app it was like this and no issues. Now the VPN app cannot connect.

Have you tried re-installing + re-configuring the app?

I had some issues recently where it threw the error 'could not get vpn permissions' amd wouldn't do anything else till I re-installed it.

Worth a try.

I just tried re installing the VPN and and re configuring it. Still no luck.
