Field notes
SocketFlip applies Android’s VPN behavior to apps the user selects: starting or stopping coverage closes those apps’ open connections. Each tap produces one manual disconnect, rather than changing Wi-Fi or airplane mode for the whole phone. The page also identifies a testing use: reproducing a clean server disconnect on a real device. Its stated boundary is specific—TCP connections reset, while UDP traffic such as calls continues.
