What happened#
The intended session could not start or stay active. An animation or a saved profile is not evidence that the VPN is on.
What has not changed#
Do not assume the profile needs deleting. First inspect the state shown by the app.
What to do next#
Check that Wi-Fi or mobile data is available. Then check the profile’s validity, Android VPN permission, device unlock state and any protected-storage warning. Follow the specific reason rather than repeatedly pressing Connect.
