Originally created by @steindvart on GitHub (Aug 1, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/267

The steps to reproduce the bug are as follows:

A connection setting is added (Proto: OpenVPN)
Press the center button "Connect".
The connection attempt is immediately reset and no connection is made.

Environment:

Samsung M31 (SM-M315F/DSN)
Android 12
Installed from "Google Play"

And this behavior is repeated all the time, not allowing to use VPN from mobile device.

Logs of this behavior: AmneziaVPN.log

Looks as if a provider somehow blocks the connection

If you exit the application (using the exit button), it starts working correctly.

No. The same connection (network, provider, VPN server, protocol, etc.) from another device works fine.

I tried to do this. It didn't help :[ Bug playback has been preserved.

Both devices have the same TTL or maybe one of the devices is used as a hot-spot?

Similar behavior...
Android client (v. 3.0.10 from Google Play) fails to connect using the configuration shared from Windows version (which works fine on multiple desctops for multiple users). Protocol - OpenVPN over Cloak. On Androind the attempt to connect never ends up, just keeps on trying forever showing the animation. This reproduces on two phones (Samsung S22 and S21 FE, both on Androind 13)
UPD:

Tried both DNS options - built in to Amnezia and external. Did not help.
Tried to use (on Android) both types of connection - "share connection" and "share full server", both did not work.
Checked Amnizia VPN client on on iPhone 13 Mini. Did not work, same as described above.

After release 3.1.0 the problem is not reproducible, and I can use AmneziaVPN on my device correctly. Who had the same issue, check, everything should be fine now.

Thanks to everyone involved! ❤️
