Hello,
On status I have « there is not VPN configured for auto connect »
This message is normal, as it pertains to the auto connect service status and the "Boot-up/Always-on VPN" setting does not require the auto connect service

"Always-on VPN" is an Android setting, but TVs don't have this setting.
In any case the profile selected as "Boot-up/Always-on VPN" will be started on startup.
If you want a configuration more similar to the behavior of the "Always-on VPN" setting you can use the "On demand" feature
Here are the steps:
  • start the app
  • tap on top left icon
  • tap on "Connect on demand"
  • set "On demand mode" to "Connect when the device send a packet to the selected routes"
  • tap on "+" button
  • tap on the VPN profile
  • select "Connect on demand"
  • tap on "+" button
  • set Detination to "0.0.0.0/0"
  • tap on "OK" button
  • save the changes

You're welcome.
Yes, you can use the option "Drop packets on connect/reconnect/unexpected disconnect".
You can set this option in Global options and/or in VPN profile
