v055u: wifi only automation not always working
On some WiFi networks, the actual SSIDs remain "hidden".
Will you filter for getNetworkSSID in Configure -> Settings -> App logs (remember to change the log level to "Very verbose" by tapping on the filter icon in the search bar of the App logs UI) as you switch to WiFi where the WireGuard stays paused when it shouldn't? That should tell us whether the active WiFi network is hiding its SSID.

I couldn't see anything in the logs but if I stop the service and start it again it will connect instantly
start it again it will connect instantly
Wow. Strange.

At "Very verbose" log level, Rethink should print logs with getNetworkSSID in it, which the search filter should be able to reveal. To make sure the search filter isn't struggling (due to a high volume of "Very verbose" logs streaming in), you can set the log level back to "None" to pause log collection before you use search.
Hi again,
I am not sure but I think if the app is in the background, it doesn't work.

when the app was in foreground I got those logs:
1762502544792,I ConnectivityEvents: getNetworkSSID: SSID for network 441492361229 is: <Redacted>
is it because you are missing the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission to get the SSID info while in background?
Perhaps!
+ <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
+ <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

Surprising since all VPNs are technically registered as being in foreground 🤷
