Unfortunately DNS66 has stopped working

[AgaWaga]

Nothing more to say, everytime I run it, it says it stopped working. when I launch FDroid I don't have the option ' run ' and DN66 is greyed out http://prntscr.com/g1ky9s http://prntscr.com/g1kylm

Obviously this should not happen, but without a logcat of starting the app, there is nothing I can do about that.

How do I get the logcat of it ?

I have a similar issue. Last 2 weeks I noticed that whenever I try to start the vpn, I get a Reconnecting error. If I press stop and then start again, the app crashes and I get the following:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service org.jak_linux.dns66.vpn.AdVpnService@b8eb49e with Intent { cmp=org.jak_linux.dns66/.vpn.AdVpnService (has extras) }: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void org.jak_linux.dns66.vpn.AdVpnThread.stopThread()' on a null object reference

I think it causes because stopSelf() is not immediate, so if you call startService with Command.STOP and then startService with Command.START second command runs in old stopping instance on service where

if (vpnThread != null)
    stopVpnThread();
vpnThread = null;

is executed. And

private void restartVpnThread() {
    vpnThread.stopThread();
    vpnThread.startThread();
}
``` causes NPE

It seems to work now for Redmie Note 4. I'm guessing maybe it was an OS issue for my case after all

Getting the same exception (java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service org.jak_linux.dns66.vpn.AdVpnService@36cc50a with Intent { cmp=org.jak_linux.dns66/.vpn.AdVpnService (has extras) }: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void org.jak_linux.dns66.vpn.AdVpnThread.stopThread()' on a null object reference) on a Google Pixel C with Android 8.1.0. also, a bit later:
