Lost ethernet connection after enabling a VPN

by JimCash030

hey guys,

have a weird issue on my Philips Android TV:

Activating a VPN Service via an app (tried 3 different apps) results automaticly in losing my internet connection.

The only solution then is to disable the VPN, plug the ethernet cable out and plug back in.

Anyone had/having a similar situation and knows a trick?

Specs:

  • Latest Philips Firmware
  • Android TV 9 - October 2019 Patch. Kernel Version 4.9.125.
  • TV is connected to a FritzBox Router on 7.12 Version

Cheers

If the VPN can't connect, this is what will happen.

Yes. Having same problem with Torguard VPN. Dealing with tech service now but I really don't think they have a clue as to the problem. VPN works fine using WiFi but all sorts of problems trying to use wired connection. My guess is Android 9.0 is not compatible with most Android VPN apps. Sure hope they find solution.
