Will the VPN stay connected if I close the app?

To keep the connection active in the background, or while completely closed down, you should enable “On Demand” in iOS or “Always-on” in Android.

If you don’t enable this setting, the VPN connection might not stay active in the background since staying active depends on how the operating system optimizes for device battery and system utilization. Your VPN app might be paused in the background.

Similarly, unless you enable “On Demand” in iOS or “Always-on” in Android, the VPN will not automatically reconnect when you restart your device.
