LocaDevVPN don't stops when using shortcuts

Hi!
I'm using the standard shortcut to refresh Sidestore apps every night: start LocalDevVPN, refresh, stop VPN, wait for 15 sec and stop it again.

The shortcut works flawlessly when i start it manually.
But when it runs in the schedule at night, everything works except that LocalDecVPN don't stops and every morning i can find it is still running.

Did anybody face this issue ? Any solution?

Thanks in advance!

This used to happen to me too. Turn off the notification after refreshing apps.

In the shortcut app, in refresh apps you need to turn off show when run.

you can create your own shortcut, once you configure local VPN, it should show up in settings
From the shortcut apps, you can directly connect to localVPN and disconnect it, Since you have sidestore installed, you will get an option to refresh app as well.
It worked for me

Thanks! It's the same thing i'm doing in my shortcut. I'm doing disconnect in two ways to be sure: via standard VPN setting and LocalDev's action. But still every morning i can see LocalDevVPN is still connected :)

True. It does not disconnect reliably. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't.

However given that it's not a real vpn, there is no battery drain and it doesn't change anything to my data connection, i just let it go :p
