I use Tailscale as my VPN, and it’s always just worked for me. But lately, it keeps hopping out. This is only an issue on my Android phone too. I have set Tailscale to be the ‘always-on-vpn’ in settings, but that doesn’t change anything for me.

Anyone experience the same thing? Is there a know fix for this?

You said this used to work before. Are you using it from a new location compared to before? Has there been any change in the network path?

Most likely because of android battery saving. Check this site . I might be wrong but that looks like Lineage OS? Try disabling battery saving for that app in settings

Thanks for that website, although I have done all of it, that’s very handy website 😊

My VPN has an option to keep a notification always active in order to stop it disconnecting, and it seems to work. Don’t know if that helps? Yours might have a similar option?

I also have this, once per day or so I get the notification and have to enable the connection again. It’s only since I updated to Android 14. Don’t know why, probably some battery optimization.
