Hello,
I'm a new user of OpenVPN, and facing some challenges.
I've a shoddy WiFi. Even if I lose my connection momentarily, OpenVPN loses its link and tries to reconnect. While reconnecting, there is a gap of 2-5 seconds that it pauses in disconnected state. I found that prior open browser windows are leaking the IP during this 2-5 second wait period.
Any solution to fix it?

Are you connecting to your own VPN server ?

I'm connecting to a 3rd party VPN provider. Can I configure openvpn-gui.exe to block all traffic while there is a 2-5 second auto pause during reconnection? I'm using Windows 10.

The openvpn-gui.exe does not do that.
