Not sure why you’re getting downvotes. I’ve seen VPN apps get background killed on some devices.
Hmm, I’ve had that fail on some cheap Chinese phones. They have other software that kills things in the background irrespective of the setting. I developed a VPN client and was never truly able to solve this problem on some low memory devices.
