Android VPN popup screen does not allow me to select OK #252

I'm getting a really weird issue with gnirehtet. I install and run it successfully in my windows machine, my android phone does show the pop-up screen saying gnirehtet is trying to setup a VPN but for some odd reason only the cancel button can be selected, the ok button cannot be chosen. I have no issues with my touch screen, I have setup the USB debugging and I dont use an old android (I got 8.1.0) What gives?

Are there any relevant logs in adb logcat?

I'm not sure, there are a huge amount of entries there. Anything specific I should look for?

I think I know what the problem is, I'm using a Huawei phone. There must be some kind of China restriction for VPNs and Huawei has disabled this vpn connection on Android

This is not a bug by gnirehtet, but a security feature of Android to prevent screen overlay apps (like keyboards or anything that simulates input) from tap jacking. For more information check here: https://android.stackexchange.com/a/164802

To solve this problem deactivate any apps that could be overlaying your screen. keyboard or accessibility settings might be a good start.
