introvertgeek I can reproduce this, with the same GOS and DDG app versions but on a Pixel 8.
However, it seems to not disconnect from the VPN if "Block connections without VPN" is enabled. The DDG app recommends leaving that disabled, but I don't know why they recommend that.
When the DDG VPN is on, Vanadium shows "This site is not secure" when entering a URL. Pressing Continue doesn't load sites, however.
Edit: could still be an app problem. I might test on stock PixelOS later.
thanks for the new update!
unfortunately it broke plexamp on pixel 8 (no google play installed). here is the log:

fid02 I've tried to enable "Block connections without VPN" (I've had it set to off by default), but it doesn't make a difference, unfortunately. DDG VPN is fine on my Samsung work phone (Android 14, kernel 5.4.242-28575149 (build: 31. July))
When the DDG VPN is on, Vanadium shows "This site is not secure" when entering a URL. Pressing Continue doesn't load sites, however.
I'm seeing this too, but not before the latest update, as far as I remember...
AlphaElwedritsch I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Is there something I can do to check/troubleshoot or find more info about what could be causing this?
only that it does not have any fundamental problems with this type of VPN. after the update
introvertgeek I have the same issue after the latest OS update. I ended up disabling DDG until the issue is solved hopefully.
@introvertgeek @maximus87 I use Proton VPN and have not encountered any issues using it after the update like you have with DuckDuckGo's VPN. I believe it's an issue on DuckDuckGo's end and suggest that you contact them.
ErnestThornhill I agree it certainly doesn't seem like a general issue with [all] VPNs in the latest GrapheneOS, but I'm also not entirely ruling out that the issue lies with GrapheneOS, and not DDG. So I'm posting to DDG as well.
That said, I'm mostly concerned about the tracking protection the DDG browser/VPN provides, not "traditional VPN" per se. So I haven't tried any other VPN service on this GrapheneOS release. Blocking app trackers is my main concern, as I want to use this phone as my daily driver, and also need to use applications from Play.
If that makes sense :)
It is likely due to changes in the latest release. A new release will revert these changes. We unfortunately didn't receive reports of the issues during alpha/beta testing.
Does anyone else have issues with 5G connectivity? I used to get 5G connectivity before, but even if I force NR-only, I either only see LTE or I get no connectivity.
introvertgeek It doesn't need to be reported to DuckDuckGo. We have to work around the compatibility issue ourselves regardless of whether it's the fault of these apps.
Just to add some experience:
For me KDE Connect works well with KDE Connect 1.3.2 on GOS and Fedora Kinoite 40 (KDE Plasma 6.1.4, kde-connect-24.08).
GrapheneOS Thank you, that's much appreciated :) If I can help at all, info etc, let me know.
Yes. Proton VPN, always on & kill-switch. Didn't notice any issues with the VPN tho, only with KDE Connect.
Mobile network connectivity on Pixel 5a 5G (yes I know it's EOL with extended support only) is not functioning after this update installed. I have 2-3 minutes of connection with LTE networks followed by "emergency calls only" despite being in an area with very strong LTE signal. Toggling Airplane Mode or swapping between LTE and 5G restores connection for another 2-3 minutes but it is not a permanent fix.
I have reset network settings several times and rebooted after each configuration change without restoring normal functionality. I will move to a new phone before the end of the year but I cannot do so right now.
I also have a 5a and the mobile network is unavailable. I've tried various things like switching back to LTE only. Nothing works so far (for more than a couple of minutes anyway). This happened immediately after this update was applied.
Cohesive1473 Pixel5aUser It sounds like you're affected by an issue that some are experiencing with the latest release on 5th generation Pixels. Keep an eye out for new a new release where the change will be rolled back.
other8026 Pending the next release, can I roll back to the previous release (2024090400) to have a functional phone until the next version fixes the issue?
Cohesive1473 same issue here on my 5a
