Hey,

**1. Where did you download Blokada from?**  
From the App Store.

**2. Which device do you use? Do you use a custom ROM? Do you know which OS version you are using?**  
iOS 15.1, iPhone 11 Pro.

**3. Please explain the issue as detailed as possible. Also include patterns you observed (like ‘it only happens on wifi’). The more information the better.**  
I noticed a couple of times this week that my Blokada Plus connection basically freezes when I’m switching from LTE to Wi-Fi. I think it’s not always happening (I didn’t check everytime) but this is really annoying. This is how it happens :

I’m switching from LTE to wi-fi.  
I notice I have no internet connection anymore.  
I open the app and it’s not responding for a couple of seconds, just showing me the “on” button of the main screen inactive with a “please wait” message below it.  
When the app is responding again, the button stays as it is : white and inactive. I can’t tap it, it’s not doing anything but I can switch from a menu to another.  
About a minute later, everything comes back to normal.

However, today, the connection never came back on no matter how many times I was killing the app with multitasking.  
I had to reboot my iPhone to get everything back to normal.  
When the iPhone rebooted, I got my connection back but my lists weren’t active anymore. I had to activate them manually, just like the first time I launched the app.

**4. Since when are you facing this issue?**  
Basically since version 6.0. [I had some issues when switching networks before though](https://community.blokada.org/t/disconnections-on-ios-when-switching-networks/).

**5. Did you already try to solve the issue somehow? If so: please state what you did.**  
Yup, I downloaded a Wireguard profile and am using the Wireguard official app for now. Never had a single issue with it in the past so I consider it to be a more stable option.

Thanks !

Hello,

With Blokada deactivated, could you try downlading the tool from Hurricane Electric:

> **[‎HE.NET Network Tools](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/he-net-network-tools/id858241710)**
>
> ‎This suite of networks tools implements most of the network diagnostics that you need as a Network Engineer or System Administrator. Please help us improve it by giving us feedback.
> 
> + ARP / NDP: Lookup local devices found on your network using...

Then both with and without your WiFi activated:

- Hamburger menu → Ping
  - IP Address: 2606:4700:4700::1111
  - Protocol: IPv6
  - Go

Let me know if you get any packet loss in the ping stats.

If you don’t get any loss. Could you please [send us the log](https://community.blokada.org/t/how-to-share-the-log-when-reporting-an-issue/384) right after the issue has occured?

Hey,

Thanks for your answer.

Here is my [HE.NET](http://HE.NET) Wi-fi report :

 ![IMG_4910](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/blokada/original/2X/7/777292add0de60ca86e687ee2a418dd2daa46a27.jpeg)

And with wi-fi deactivated :

Every test has been done without Blokada.

I’m sending you the logs by e-mail right now.

Giving some news for those who might have the same issue.

I sent my logs to balboah and he asked me to do a ping test with the previously suggested app when the issue happens once again (an IPV6 issue was suspected) … but it never did. Since 6.0.1, I had no problems connecting to Blokada Plus.

I’ll keep you in touch if I’m facing this issue again but for now … everything goes pretty well. 👍

Hello, I give you my feedback if it can be useful to other users. I had this blokada v5 disconnection problem when I changed mobile network. I managed to solve it simply by forbidding the connection to the mobile network during my calls. I specify that I use 2 sim and that I had this problem on my pixel 5 and subsequently on my pixel 6.
