When connecting to the VPN, you may notice that your device temporarily switches from Wi-Fi to cellular data before reconnecting to Wi-Fi. This is expected behavior and is part of the process required to establish a secure VPN connection.
Why Does This Happen?
When a VPN connection is initiated, the device must reconfigure its network settings to securely route all traffic through the VPN tunnel. This process includes:
-
Resetting the existing network connection to apply new routing rules.
-
Enforcing encryption protocols to protect your data.
-
Ensuring there are no potential data leaks outside the VPN tunnel.
As a result, your device may momentarily disconnect from Wi-Fi, causing it to switch to cellular data before re-establishing the connection.
If you experience persistent connectivity issues beyond this expected behavior, try restarting your device or contacting support for further assistance.
