Working, always on, VPN on Honor MagicOS

Why?

Ad blocking

What issues happen by default?

If you’re using “Always-on VPN” and “Only allow connections through VPN” - then the default MagicOS will kill off the VPN in the background to save power, and you won’t be able to do anything on the internet until you open up the VPN app again.

How to fix it

Open Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps -> ${VPN app name} -> Power usage details -> Launch Settings Then
turn off “Manage automatically”
turn on “Auto-launch”
turn on “Secondary launch”
turn on “Run in background”

** THEN **

Open the app switcher (swipe up from the bottom of the screen with gesture controls)
Swipe down on the app window of ${VPN app name}, there hould now be a padlock on the level of the app name, to the top right

Only after all of this, will it stop killing off the damn vpn app.
