Click on the "notification settings", it will bring you to your app list, scroll down to your VPN app, and turn off all notifications.

I did that as you can see, the app name is DNS66 ( https://imgur.com/a/rgMSmU6 ) but nothing changed. Thanks for the reply !
Hmm, that screen looks completely different from my screen to turn off notifications. Is that in the app list? (I just picked the Amazon app for example)
There are more options in the "categories" tab to remove/edit notifications
What device do you have there?

So this screenshot of yours is when you are in the VPN app ?

Yes that's it !!So this screenshot of yours is when you are in the VPN app ?
The VPN runs as a system process, so you might not be able to as it's basically a ongoing security status notification, along with the associated VPN key icon in the status bar to indicate that the VPN is actually connected and is secure. This is how it looks on my Huawei, and I can't dismiss it, but as soon as the VPN is disconnected the notification disappears. On my phone it's ExpressVPN that initiates it.
BTW there's also an ongoing music player notification, which can be swiped away but then the music stops playing.

I get it. So i mean is there no way to hide this notification ?
Makes sense. I've never tried a Virtual Private Network though.

@Mikestony @mikedt I actually found a way to remove the notification using "AutoNotification" from the Playstore. Thanks !
Doesn't that app have ads, seem pointless to get rid of a notification to place it with ads.

no ads on this app
