Second user

MorananaroM

Hi,
I have a small problem related to second user.
Would like to use a separate account or user on my pixel 6 for my important banking etc..., which is separate from my use daily apps. However when I create another user, I cannot connect to wifi or mobile data as another user. I have checked my settings via the 2 account, but I don't get any further.... Am I doing something wrong or have I forgotten something?

You should be already connected by the owner account. What I do is I log in first with owner and then with secondary accounts. This ensures, for example, if the owner is on always-on VPN, all the other accounts connect through that VPN too.

Is this accurate? If the owner has always on vpn I don’t need to connect to vpn in a secondary profile?

I didn’t think that’s how it worked, but would love to get a definitive answer

I deleted other user and started again. Problem seems solved to me... Thanks for the info...

Each user has its own VPN settings. If you want to connect to a vpn under one user account, you have to set it up on that user account.

A secondary user won't use a vpn running under the owner profile.
