VPN Kill switch?

[Thebence]

Hello!

After some years on coreelec on my u9-h I flashed the U9-H-CE FW001 Android 7.1.2 20191120 [Community Edition Nougat Firmware] rom to get Kodi 19.3. It is working well except VPN. I would like to block the communication if it is not connected to VPN. I am using nordvpn android client and tried openvpn client as well. In both ways the internet connection is working further if the vpn app is closed for example. I read that on android 8 kill switch is working, but not on 7. Is there some recommended way to fix this?

Thanks your help in advance!

There is no guaranteed way to fix a VPN kill switch that is not working on Android 7. This issue could be due to a number of factors, such as compatibility issues with the VPN app, limitations in the Android 7 operating system, or other software/hardware issues.
Here are some recommended steps to try to resolve the issue:

1. Check compatibility: Ensure that the VPN app you are using is compatible with Android 7. Some VPN apps may not be optimized for older versions of the operating system, which can lead to issues with features like the kill switch.
2. Update the VPN app: Make sure you have the latest version of the VPN app installed. Updates often address compatibility issues and other bugs that can cause the kill switch to not work.
3. Check device permissions: Verify that the VPN app has the necessary permissions to access and control your device's network settings.
4. Try a different VPN app: If the issue persists, consider switching to a different VPN app that is known to work well on Android 7.
5. Contact support: If you are still having trouble, reach out to the VPN app's support team for further assistance.

Note: If the VPN kill switch is not working on Android 7, it's possible that the feature is not supported on that version of the operating system. In that case, you may need to upgrade to a newer device running a more recent version of Android to use the VPN kill switch.
