OpenVPN Disconnects Instantly on Connection Attempt (Flutter)
I am using the openvpn_flutter package to implement VPN functionality in my Flutter app. The VPN connects and works perfectly on Android, but on iOS, it instantly disconnects as soon as I tap the connect button.
Steps to Reproduce: Configure OpenVPN using the openvpn_flutter package. Attempt to connect to a VPN server on iOS. The VPN connection initiates but immediately disconnects without any error message.
Expected Behavior: The VPN should establish a stable connection, similar to how it works on Android.
Actual Behavior: The VPN connection starts but disconnects instantly. No error message is displayed. The same configuration works fine on Android.
Environment Details: Flutter version: 3.24.4 openvpn_flutter version: 1.3.4 iOS Version: 18.2 Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max VPN Configuration: .ovpn
Troubleshooting Steps Tried: Verified that the .ovpn file is correctly formatted. Ensured correct app permissions Network Extensions, VPN Entitlements. Tested different VPN servers and configurations. Checked iOS logs for any errors → No issues found in logs. Tried the solution mentioned in this issue, which worked for someone with the same problem, but it did not work for me.
Additional Context: This issue does not occur on Android; VPN works as expected there. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!
this is the setting image of vpn
@nizwar This issue is very urgent for me, and I need a solution by this weekend.
@nizwar @RahimUllahAxlic did you find any solution? This appears to be on some devices. I am getting this issue in production and in debug. No error is show in console.
@shafiquecbl No, I haven't found a solution yet. This issue seems to occur on certain devices, and I'm experiencing it in both production and debug modes. There's no error visible in the console. I'm still waiting for @nizwar response via email.

@Nizwar, could you please allocate some time to look into this issue as well?
@aiqalatif did you try https://github.com/nizwar/openvpn_flutter/issues/86 this?

which server do you use
I'm using openvpn_flutter, implementing VPN functionality. It works on Android but does not work on iOS. I press the Start button and it tries to connect and disconnects immediately. The connection should be established as with Android.
Environment Details: Flutter version: 3.24.0 iOS Version: 18.6.2 Device: iPhone 12 Mini
Verified that the .ovpn file is correctly formatted. Ensured correct app permissions Network Extensions, VPN Entitlements. Tested different VPN servers and configurations. Checked iOS logs for any errors → No issues found in logs. Tried the solution mentioned in this issue (https://github.com/nizwar/openvpn_flutter/issues/86), which worked for someone with the same problem, but it didn't work for me.
LOGS were added to the app to obtain information. I'll leave them below, they show the VPN status. Flutter: 🔴 [MAIN] Calling engine.connect() Flutter: 🔴 [MAIN] ✅ engine.connect() completed successfully Flutter: 🟡 [MAIN] onVpnStageChanged: data=VPNStage.connecting, raw=connecting Flutter: 🟡 [MAIN] onVpnStageChanged: data=VPNStage.disconnecting, raw=disconnecting Fltter: 🟡 [MAIN] onVpnStageChanged: data=VPNStage.disconnected, raw=disconnected
A screenshot of the device is attached. Was the problem that opened the current issue resolved?
