Connection options
Under Settings → Advanced, you can switch between WireGuard, UDP OpenVPN and TCP OpenVPN. If one option will not connect, try another.
Network Lock
Under Settings → General, Network Lock is the internet kill switch setting. Check that it is enabled before relying on it to restrict internet access when the VPN connection drops.
Reconnect after a dropped connection
General settings also includes “Re-establish VPN connection if disconnected or dropped.” Enable this option if you want the app to try reconnecting after a drop.
Advanced settings
Leave IPv6, port and DNS settings unchanged unless you are troubleshooting or following specific setup instructions.
