[BUG] - reconnect after network change or standby takes about 2minutes #417

Open egabosh opened 4 weeks ago

egabosh commented 4 weeks ago

Describe the bug The reconnect takes around 2 minutes each time the network is changed or the smartphone comes out of sleep mode (display off).

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

To Reproduce Set up Wireguard client. I have tried various ping and auto-tunnel settings. The only thing that helps faster is to deactivate and reactivate the connection in the main window. If the star in dte main window is yellow it takes in any case a longer time until it is reconnecting. The app has allowed background data and the battery settings are unrestricted

Expected behavior Fast detection of whether the network is available and immediate reconnect if not.

If this is not a bug what are the optimal ping interval, Ping restart cooldown,... settings for a fast reconnect.

Ah, looks like some additional android settings help: Settings -> Network and Internet -> VPN -> WG Tunnel -> Continuously active VPN: On. I'll keep an eye for some days on whether the VPN remains “stable” now. Could not find this in the documentation. Maybe it should be added? https://zaneschepke.com/wgtunnel-docs/overview.html

Looks like a new regression in 3.5.3 or 3.5.4, downgrading to 3.5.2 fixes the issue for me

Thanks. Just installed 3.5.2 from F-Droid. I will test here too.

Unfortunately only seems to have helped to a limited extent.

Hmm... 3.5.2 seems to crash if I switch from mobile data to WLAN.

Hello! I have a LineageOS test device. I'll look into this one.

Thank you! I don't use the Kernel module. May this be needed? Now testing 3.6 (from F-Droid).
