Selecting "Don't allow" VPN locks user out of phone

[wesinator]

Hi, thanks for making this app and providing it open source.

There is a UI bug with the following configuration:

iOS 14.4

• Open new install of app that hasn't been configured or logged in
• Existing VPN always-on config from a different app
• Select Tap to Activate Firewall
• On the iOS dialog for adding VPN configuration, tap "Don't Allow"

If user taps "Don't allow" , the app will keep asking for it , locking the user out of being able to use their device (ANY apps) until they click allow.

Expected: App should not ask repeatedly for VPN config permissions if rejected by user. Either add a delay, or only ask once then re-offer if user taps to activate again. Need to remove a while loop somewhere

Workaround:

• Click Allow on dialog
• When settings come up, go to app preview and close the settings app and lockdown

Even after doing the workaround to gain access back to using phone, if I reopen lockdown app, the prompt immediately comes back up and causes the lockout again , requiring the workaround.

This is a problem too, if you deactivated WiFi and try to turn on the firewall.
