If you use a VPN you need to enable VPN settings in options or nothing will work as expected! As long as you have root this is a must install app as it is the only way to run a VPN and block internet access per app as the other firewall applications such as Netguard (and Blokada which blocks adds) use Androids VPN functionality which does not allow chaining VPNs.

It says that it's freemium right there in the description. Seriously, WTF is up with these designations? Can anybody just slap one on their app? Seems like a really bad idea...
