Unable to get VPN permissions, you may need to reboot device and trt again.

When I run OpenVpn after Android security patch distributed on June 1st, I get the following error.

"Unable to get VPN permissions, you may need to reboot device and trt again."

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 FE

The same phenomenon occurs in the above two devices.

Is there a solution?

Same issue here. Also a Samsung device. It was working for years, and just as I'm away on holiday this issue appears. Anyone found any solution yet?

Same issue here on a Samsung S23 Ultra. I also use surfshark as vpn but suddenly OpenVPN brings me this error message. No change after a restart.

Same issue here with S22 Ultra. Definitely looks like a Samsung specific issue.

Same issue. Android 23 ultra just after the update

This is still an issue! I doubt Samsung will ever find/fix this issue
