VPN Issues through Private Internet Access App

[asianpianoman]

I am coming from a Nexus 7 2013 which could reliably run the Private Internet Access app for days at a time without any issues and most importantly without closing. On my M3, the app randomly shuts down and turns off the VPN after an hour or so; I'm guessing this has something to do with RAM management. Any ideas on how to remedy this? It's been kinda sucky to realize that my connection has been unsecure for an unknown amount of time once I realize that the app decided to close by itself.

You should go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Battery Manager -> Protected Apps and enable it for the VPN app so it will not get closed when the screen turns off.

Wow I was not aware this was a built-in feature on this tablet. Screw you, EMUI, and thank you, Flavio!!
