iPhone keeps dropping internet when VPN active

Hey,

Been using PIA for a few months.

For some reason when on YouTube or other apps on my phone. Randomly it will lose internet connectivity with the server.

Which requires me restarting the VPN again and again.

Any idea what could be causing this

What phone are you using?

I seemed to have fixed it. I went into settings>VPN>hit the “i” button on private internet access >turn on “connect on demand”.

I switched to Lookout VPN Enterprise recently and am having serious yet intermittent connection issues. There are no warnings in iOS, iPadOS; but, pages in Safari and chrome (Safari especially) fail to load (or cycle as if loading). SMS picture attachments don’t download. Toggling ON WiFi sometimes provides a moment of relief. However my 5G UWB is much more reliable, so usually WiFi is off. I disabled and cycled private IP and IP relay. Nothing has helped. I like Lookout’s suite and how light it is…but it seems the only VPN to give me such issues. And randomly, at that. Thoughts??

iPhone 11

Running most current version of iOS 16

Also to note, my other devices running PIA also get pretty terrible download speeds.

Like 30 down 20 up

With it off 3-400 down
100 up
