Hi, my POCO X7 is automatically killing the PIA VPN connection during the night.

I have already:

- set PIA VPN to "No restrictions" in battery settings

- enabled autostart

- disabled battery optimization

Despite this, the system still stops the VPN in the background, which causes my real IP to be exposed unintentionally.

I need the VPN connection to remain active at all times (24/7) without being killed by the system.

Is there any way to:

prevent MIUI/HyperOS from stopping the VPN service?

or enforce a persistent VPN connection at system level?

This behavior is critical for me, as it breaks network consistency and privacy.

Android Version: HyperOS 3.0, Android 16
