    ADB Command referenced in video.
    pm grant com.ixolit.ipvanish android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
    IPVanish now has a VPN monitor feature built into their application.
    Since the kill switch on the IPVanish app doesn't work properly on Firestick and Android TV devices, they have implemented a VPN Status Indicator.
    Unfortunately, it doesn't work out of the box for Firestick and some Android TV Boxes.
    This tutorial will show you how to issue an ADB Command to draw over other apps and make this possible on Fire TV Stick / Fire TV Cube / Android TV systems.
    As of this video, the monitor dot isn't displaying the proper green color. Let's hope IPVanish issues an update soon to fix this.

    I like this. I don't want just a kill switch. I use my VPN more for avoiding throttling from my ISP than I do privacy. If my VPN disconnects in the middle of watching something I don't want my program to stop and have to mess around with it. The light is only on when the VPN is disconnected. I'm happy.

    Can't find ADB apk after installing.. I have successfully installed from the TP Toolbox. I am using a Mecool device as well. I've verified I'm a developer. But, when I go the "open setting" I can't seem to find the prompt to allow the ADB apk. What am I missing? I admit, I have a 'Reading Disorder. I try to double read instructions but sometimes get distracted. TIA! BTW: TP you are awesome 👌!

    My ONN Android TV updated IPVANISH with this feature and it works as described, on Android the dot is indeed green when the VPN is connected. The overlay remains after the VPN is disconnected, as a gray dot, I did a force stop to remove it entirely as it remain after changing the setting and back and closing IPVANISH. Looking forward to seeing it on my Firestick. Thanks for the information Troy.
