With my old Android handset, this used to happen heaps. As it got older, and software got newer and bigger, it would shed apps that were backgrounded. It's likely for performance reasons that the set top manufacturer has customised their Android distribution such that it prioritises media playback, and hence culls anything that isn't front and center. You might do best speaking with your STB's support folks about the issue, as it's unlikely to be something within the OpenVPN Connect app's control.

I have the same problem. I was advised to use a VPN with this OTT MXQ media box and have successfully hooked up with OpenVPN but every time I open the KODI app the VPN disconnects. Any ideas?
