Reconnection failure when using unstable network connection #42

After losing the connection there was no way I could re-establish it (with or without vpn). Wicd told me I was connected, nordpy said I was not and finally the only way to get back online was a full reboot. Before that I tried disconnecting manually using nordpy's interface and reconnecting and this is what I saw on the console

Turning off killswitch looking for iptables in /home/lorenzo/nordpy-master/stored_iptables Selected a particular country: Germany resulting url: https://nordvpn.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=servers_recommendations&filters={%22servers_groups%22:11,%22country_id%22:81} Selected a particular country: Germany resulting url: https://nordvpn.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=servers_recommendations&filters={%22servers_groups%22:11,%22country_id%22:81}

but finally I was not able to get back online.

This is actually a common problem when using openvpn, which may be solved by starting a daemon triggered when a new connection is established (or similarly after suspension), then running (systemctl openpvn restart)
