Full Guide: Ensuring VPNHouse Stays Active in Sleep Mode on Xiaomi Devices
Xiaomi smartphones, equipped with the MIUI skin, are renowned for their performance and features. However, MIUI's aggressive background process management can sometimes interfere with apps like VPNHouse. Here's how to ensure VPNHouse remains active, even in sleep mode:
- App Pinning / App Locking:
- Open the recent apps tray.
- Drag the VPNHouse app downwards to lock it, ensuring it remains active.
- On certain devices, long-press the VPNHouse app and select the padlock icon.
- Autostart Permission:
- Navigate to Settings > Apps > VPNHouse > App permissions.
- Enable "Background autostart."
- MIUI Optimizations:
- Activate developer mode by tapping on the MIUI version in "About phone" ten times.
- In Developer settings, disable MIUI optimizations.
- Power Management:

- Protect VPNHouse in Battery Manager.
- Disable "Power-intensive prompt" and enable "Keep running after screen off."
- App Battery Saver:
- Go to Security > Battery > App Battery Saver.

- Autostart:
- Open the Security app > Permissions.
