Research direction

Start by locating the location configuration code and the Allowed IPs input; the issue does not name files or tests. Check how an empty value is handled on Android and where the VPN subnet is available. Done means an empty input cannot produce the reported connection error and the VPN subnet is included in Allowed IPs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We currently allow the user to leave the Allowed IPs input empty.
On Android this causes an unhandled connection error.

I think it makes sense to always include at least the VPN subnet in the Allowed IPs.
