i have #wireguard VPN on my #android phone (android version 13, blackview BV4800) and i set it to the "always-on" mode and was dismayed for some time that the stupid thing seemed to disconnect randomly
for whatever reason, making it "always on VPN" doesn't do two other necessary settings, inside App Info:
- Battery usage - set to unrestricted - it needs to be always on, duh Optimized does not keep it on or turn it on on demand as you would expect
- Unused app settings - Pause app activity if unused - disable this, because it should always be in use, even if you don't open its' UI
since changing these settings on it, it now stays connected as it was expected to when set as Always On VPN
fuck you google, and the whores you rode in on
Yep. And I had to lock the VPN in the task manager so it wouldn't close/disconnect when I clear the task manager.

oh, i haven't found that to be needed on android 13, which version have you got?
I'm on Android 15
it must be something to do with the wireguard vpn app i think, being old version or something
