Hotspot Privacy - Stay "ON" When iPhone in Standby Mode

Norton Hotspot Privacy (Version 1.1.3) for iPhone 4s, iOS 7.0.4

 

I would like to be able to keep Norton Hotspot Privacy in "Manual" mode and turn it "ON" when I want it on, and have it stay "ON" until I turn it "OFF" using the simple VPN on/off slider in iPhone's "Settings."

 

This seems logical, but when the iPhone times out and goes into "Standby" mode (or when you press the button on top to put your phone into "Standby" mode), NHP turns itself OFF. It's a pain to have to keep going into settings to keep turning it back on.

 

I know that I could leave Norton Hotspot Privacy in "Always On" mode all the time, but Norton Hotspot Privacy makes the internet connection so slow that the phone is almost unusable. Simple videos on YouTube stop constantly to buffer; Websites take FOREVER to load. Siri and Google Maps both fail. I can deal with this at work or in a public setting because I know I'm being protected. But I don't need to run NHP when I'm home on my secure connection.

 

In simplest terms, I want to keep NHP "ON" in Manual mode without it shutting itself "OFF" when the iPhone goes into standby.

 

Thank you.

 

PS: I did post about this in the help section of this messageboard, to no avail (as of yet). The thread is here:
