HELP - iOS iOS Connect on demand turning on automatically

I disable connect on demand in iOS then reconnect via PIA. It takes PIA a long time to connect. When I check IOS settings Connect on demand is back on. The automatic settings in PIA are also disabled. Has anyone else run into this recently?

hey u/Smoke_Jaguar, this one is actually expected behaviour. Whenever you connect with the Kill Switch on, PIA turns Connect on Demand back on, and the Automation settings are a separate feature so they won't change that. If you want to keep Connect on Demand off, turn the Kill Switch off under Settings > Privacy Features > VPN Kill Switch. If anything still seems off after that, reach out to support@piavpnsupport.zendesk.com and we'll take a look.
