Packet Sent but cannot Received Packets

Why do I keep getting packet loss?

Network congestion - The primary cause of network packet loss is congestion. All networks have space limitations, so in simple terms, network congestion is very much the same as peak hour traffic. Think of the queues on the road at certain times of the day, like early mornings and the end of the working day.

How do I find out where my packet loss is from?

Diagnosing Packet Loss A two-step process is recommended: Run a Traceroute to the remote endpoint to determine the router hops to the destination. Perform a ping test to each of these router hops to see if the network is stable to a specific location, or if loss starts to occur at or beyond a certain point.

Can router cause packet loss?

Faulty Hardware Misconfigurations in routers, firewalls, or switches can cause packets to drop. In-home networks, a simple power cycle usually fixes the issue, but this may get more complicated in corporate environments.


I've been editing androids toyvpn sample project for vpn and i got this one for my sample app

enter image description here

I know there is something wrong/missing with my code because when i manually set up the vpn via android settings, there are packets Receive that's why i've been searching how to receive packets and i dont know how to get this working.

here is my source code that VCL that extends VpnService

this is how i use the class above

         */
        return START_STICKY;
    }
    @Override

        if (mThread != null) {
            mThread.interrupt();
