I’ve been using openvpn on iOS for about a year, and this 1.1.1.1 app for a day now, and I can guarantee that most of the connectivity issues described are not true. [edit: for me, of course. sorry, didn't mean to discredit parent comment like that. just wanted to add my perspective.]

- it automatically switches networks, both to and from WiFi

- it does not disconnect when switching

- the 1.1.1.1 app does not make anything more spotty or unreliable; it’s just DNS. Openvpn yes, but this app clearly not.

As for the battery issue: could very well be true, I have no idea how to test it.

The difference between this app and an actual VPN are clear from using it.
