Unable to disconnect from VPN in secondary profile

schweizer

Am I the only one who cannot disconnect from VPN in secondary profiles without deleting them?

When I tap on the VPN in connection settings as the owner and active VPN I see a statistics window with a button to disconnect below. So far so good.

That window does not show up on secondary profiles. Clicking on the gearwheel and deleting the profile is the only option that disconnects. But then I have to enter all the settings again next time I need the VPN.

schweizer Are you using a VPN app in that secondary profile, or the built-in VPN functionality in GrapheneOS?

I use the built-in VPN.

schweizer Sorry, then I don't know. Hope someone else can help you out!

Did you restart your phone while you were testing?
Maybe this debugs the issue.

In my experience, VPN connections bug from time to time.
This issue appeared in my time before (must have been Android 11 or something like that on an OnePlus device) and with GrapheneOS up to the current version on my Pixel 7.
If I switch off airplane mode, the VPN seems established but there is no network access at all; just manually turning the VPN off and on again helped with it immediately.
Same behaviour appears when I unlock my Private Profile, roundabout every tenth time.
I have always been using Wireguard.
If the VPN button of Android itself bugs, I switch to the Wireguard app to turn it off/on but sometimes even this bugs for seconds.

No, restarting the phone does not solve the problem.

So far I still don't know wether I am the only one with this problem or if everybody has it. Can someone check that has a secondary profile with a VPN installed?
