For months, I have been having major issues with TorGuard VPN on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The issues include: Most of the time, it takes multiple attempts to connect. It will get stuck in Wait, I'll cancel and retry, it will get stuck in Wait again, and so on. Sometimes I kill the TorGuard app and relaunch it. It can take 10 or more tries before it connects. It gets stuck in Wait, and in Detecting, and in another status that I don't recall. I've tried different servers (Atlanta, Dallas), ports (Auto, Stealth, 389), ciphers (AES-128-CBC, AES-256-GCM, BF-CBC), and protocols (UDP, TCP). Once it's connected, it frequently disconnects. Sometimes it's momentary and auto-reconnects, which still results in me getting booted from my remote desktop session. Other times it's a permanent disconnect and I have to manually attempt to reconnect. These problems are very disruptive, and annoying. Thus far I've tried 2 other VPN services besides TorGuard, and neither one have the capabilities that I need. TorGuard is great, but I need it to work.

I have been testing the new Seamless reconnect feature of TorGuard Windows client v0.3.78 and I am having a weird issue. I usually connect to the internet in my Windows 10 laptop via USB tethering my cellular network. Most of the times the network is stable. In the previous version, TorGuard v0.3.77, sometimes I randomly got disconnected and reconnected(most probably due to poor network reception?). The reconnect was automatic, I didn't have to do anything. But With the new Seamless reconnect feature in v0.3.78 the reconnect doesn't happen when the network comes back and a popup appears saying reconnect failed. I tested the theory by switching mobile data on/off. On the Standard Seamless reconnect, the network will automatically reconnect. But with the New Seamless reconnect, I get the popup as seen in the attached image when I switch back the network ON.
