Why does VPN disconnect and reconnect

Modified on Mon, 20 Apr at 8:41 AM

VPN connections depend on a stable internet connection and the app being allowed to run in the background. Reconnects can happen when:

  • the phone switches between Wi‑Fi and mobile data
  • signal strength drops or becomes unstable
  • battery optimisation pauses background activity
  • network restrictions apply (for example, work or public Wi‑Fi)

In most cases, the VPN reconnects automatically. If it doesn't, opening the app usually restores the connection.
