Hi Jason,
I'm looking into that specific aspect as we speak. Google at times has "peculiar ways" to conceive of how users would interact with Android, maybe this is one of them. However, I've seen developers abuse APIs in self interest for a number of reasons.
On iOS, once a VPN app is disconnected, it automatically ceases the right to "always on."
I'll dig around and get back to you on this.  


Thanks,Jose

Care to poke around in the APIs and see if you can come up with
something automatic and useful?
