Whenever my laptop has been asleep, and I open it, the VPN is disconnected. Typically it tries to reconnect, but there's no indication in the toolbar to show it is happening. Instead it just shows the VPN as disconnected. That's confusing and annoying because then I have to go into the VPN menu to check whether it is trying to connect or not.
Steps to reproduce
Enable VPN
Sleep laptop
Wake laptop after a while
Look at Brave toolbar
Actual result
Expected result
A spinner that shows the VPN is attempted to connect.
