stabilize network connection (lemmy.ml)

i am having a problem the massive reset/reload of continuous frequent cell phone data connection

the point is this. the VPN is great if i am not being mass bombarded by network reset signals. (signal lost, reconnecting) what can you suggest, so i can have a connection the phones networking manager see’s as stable. in order to avoid the resets?

so the on-phone network manager see’s the connection as alive for X amount of time, and the VPN is not reconnecting every 1 to 30 seconds? i had this in an APK about 15 years ago and it enabled me to use phone as a modem.

right now i see nothing on the market at all.

Your VPN should have a setting to increase the connection timeout. There's also using a fast(for you) DNS to reduce DNS related slowdowns.

thank you very much. looking at the settings in my phone app lots of setting to click through. but nothing to extend timeout ie "keep alive"

i promise the promise is not my dns. i promise.

I was merely suggesting DNS as another layer which can be speed up. But, you will have to check with your VPN provider if there's no setting go increase timeout. Or change servers so you get faster more responsive server locations which work for you.
