Mullvad gui blocks shutdown

[jm355]

Is it a bug?

• [X] I know this is an issue with the app, and contacting Mullvad support is not relevant.

I have checked if others have reported this already

• [X] I have checked the issue tracker to see if others have reported similar issues.

Current Behavior

When I shut down my laptop (Arch linux), stopping my user session hangs until it times out and gets forcefully killed. When I quit mullvad vpn and then shutdown, the user session is ended gracefully.

Here's a snippet of the logs that prompted me to try quitting mullvad gui before shutting down:

Feb 28 18:27:17 linux systemd[1]: session-3.scope: Stopping timed out. Killing.
Feb 28 18:27:17 linux systemd[1]: session-3.scope: Killing process 17938 (mullvad-gui) with signal SIGKILL.
Feb 28 18:27:17 linux systemd[1]: session-3.scope: Failed to kill control group /user.slice/user-1000.slice/se>
Feb 28 18:27:17 linux systemd[1]: session-3.scope: Failed with result 'timeout'.

Expected Behavior

Mullvad gui should end gracefully when the computer is being shut down. The daemon shuts down gracefully, here are logs from the same boot as the previous logs:

Feb 28 18:25:48 linux mullvad-daemon[1726]: [mullvad_daemon][DEBUG] Process exiting with code 0
Feb 28 18:25:48 linux systemd[1]: mullvad-daemon.service: Deactivated successfully.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up arch linux with Sway WM
2. start Mullvad gui with exec "/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn" --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform-hint=auto --ozone-platform=wayland in the sway config
3. connect to vpn
4. run 'systemctl poweroff`
5. wait a long time for computer to power off
6. Boot again and check logs to see what happened journalctl -b-1
