Why does my VPN keep disconnecting?

Question

Accepted Answer

Most VPN drop issues come from the connection below the VPN connection and not the VPN. This can be caused by a flaky or shifting network, your phone killing background apps to save battery, or there being another VPN trying to use the connection. Please try the following in order. Each of these can be completed in under a minute. First check your connection. A weak mobile or Wi-Fi signal, or your phone changing between mobile and Wi-Fi data will force the VPN to reconnect. Disable battery saving from closing the app. Go to the app info screen for Senton VPN on Android and set battery usage to not restricted. This way your phone will not kill the app in the background while it is running. Remove other VPN apps. Only one VPN should be enabled at a time. One will try to push the other off the connection. Try a closer server. A server that is far away or busy is more likely to drop. Update the app and restart the phone. Older versions and long uptime can cause more drops than one may expect. Enable Kill Switch. This will ensure that if the connection does drop, your data will not be sent over an insecure connection, but instead will be blocked until the connection is reconnected. Kill Switch is available on the Android app and on the Chrome extension. Auto Connect will reconnect the connection automatically.
