Quick troubleshooting

Battery optimisation can kill the VPN in the background — allow the app unrestricted battery use in Settings > Apps > Liberty Shield > Battery.
Note: Servers marked “TV” run a lower level of encryption. They still mask your IP address and offer some encryption, but are optimised for TV/IPTV streaming rather than privacy — we recommend these if you're using the VPN mainly to watch TV.
