1. Open KlarVPN and check the VPN tab. If the app shows Disconnected and the Transparency Dashboard shows 0 sessions, there is no active VPN tunnel. |

2. Tap Logs in the bottom menu. While disconnected, KlarVPN shows “Connect to a tunnel to view logs.” | No active tunnel logs while disconnected. |
3. Go back to the VPN tab and tap the power button to connect. KlarVPN shows setup messages such as “Creating your private keys...” while preparing a secure tunnel. |

10. Open Logs again and check the Uname info line. It will be different from the previous connected session because KlarVPN refreshes the technical tunnel/session information each time you connect. |

Why the Uname info line changes
The Uname info line is part of KlarVPN’s technical tunnel log. Every time you connect to KlarVPN, the app creates a new VPN session and refreshes session-specific tunnel information.
Because each connection creates a fresh secure session, the Uname info value will change after you disconnect and reconnect. This is expected behavior and is designed to help protect customer session information instead of reusing the same technical session details.
A changed Uname info value does not mean your browsing history is being stored or that your real location is being exposed. It means KlarVPN has created a new technical VPN session.
