Recently i did a reset of android permissions to default by going into settings>system>reset options>reset app preferences , as some system apps like webview were not working well , possibly due to some permission issues. On doing this the pcapdroid app crashed instead of asking for vpn permission again. There might be a possibility of some bugs in the OS itself in this regard.
