Same behavior on 2018 IPad Pro 11 Cellular, 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 Cellular, 2021 IPad Pro 11 Cellular
iPadOS 14.5, 14.5.1, 14.6
OpenVPN Connect 3.2.3

This app needs serious work.

1) Just installing the app with NO PROFILES and VPN decreases connection speeds by half. Delete app, speeds go back up. I’m on a 800MB line.
2) Cannot do a DFU/Recovery install with app installed. iPad will not connect with Apple for iTunes recover.
3) Causes iPad to constantly prompt to connect WiFi calling, prompt to use cellular connection and not recognize that IT IS connected to a wiki network.

Oh and the workflow/UX to add multiple open vpn profiles is a complete joke.

Why no batch adding?
Why doesn’t the app remember the last addition method instead of defaulting to URL EVERY TIME?

Btw everything was working fine BEFORE iOS 14.5. Now just the presence of the openvpn connect app causes problems/negatively impacts the network stack.
