I’m using Blokada 4 within Android 6.0.1 in a stock Samsung Galaxy S5 and it normally works very well. However, I’ve noticed over the past few weeks that I sometimes wake up in the morning and find that Blokada has de-activated and the key icon is gone from the top of my screen. Once I re-activate …

It seems for me on a pixel variant phone (Android 8 & 10) that as well as turning off battery optimisation for the app, I also have to allow unrestricted use of data to allow the continuous pinging between phone and server with Blokada Plus: settings/apps/advanced/special access/allow unrestricted u…

Me, too. Blokada+ 5.11 Android randomly disconnects. Only notifications I get from the app are when Blokada DNS stops working. As previously recommended I have Don’t Sleep! running. WiFi on and connected to my GB router private 803.11ac network which is provisioned at 255 MBps via GB cable modem wi…

I have phones running Android 7 (LG) which is fine, and vanilla (unmodified) Android 9 and 10, which both exhibit this behaviour. On the same phones, so does DNS66, Adlock, and Adguard full, with its native VPN extension. All phones are unrooted, which doesn’t help, and often isn’t now practicable f…

Same thing happens to me. Frequent disconnects of 5.11 Android. Metro by T-Mobile Stylo 4, Android 8.1. Don’t Sleep running as recommended, Blokada 5.11 DNS disconnected while writing this, despite being set Always On, etc. Sometimes first DNS disconnected then Blokada+ dropped, both with no noti…

My original post related to Blokada 4, but some of the subsequent posts mention Blokada 5. It appears that whatever is causing this deactivation issue is common to both versions. I mention this in the hope that it may give someone a clue to solving this problem.

It’s been over a month since my original post and so far no one seems to have an answer for this problem which I and others are having. Have I posted it in the wrong place? Cheers, HH33

It’s most likely not an app issue but your standard battery saving mode on android. Did you already enable “always on VPN” on your device.

Hi, @PC, Thanks for your question, but I posted regarding that back in March in Post #8: [image] HH33: Thanks for your reply. I neglected to mention that I had looked at that, but when I went to Settings/More Networks/VPN, it lists all installed VPN apps and correctly shows Blokada to be “conn…

[image] HH33: I appear to be at a dead-end. Where do I go from here? As of right now I’m absolutely clueless. It seems like your system is being very, very funky. Could you please name the device again? Did you already provide logs of the issue happening to hello@blokada.org with a short but…
