connection drops when leaving the app

Post by Scalextrix » Thu Oct 27, 2016 3:45 pm

So I have a connection to my own home vpn server which works fine. Im trying to use another vpn service , imported the profile, connects, but as soon as I leave the app to say go and browse the net, the connection drops and the status stays as waiting for server.

If you pay for the service then you must contact them.

If it is a free service then perhaps their server is dropping you because it is too busy.
