Overview
This option will automatically re-connect to our servers any time you get 
disconnected unexpectedly. This can happen for a number of reasons, including a weak internet signal, when your network changes, or when your device wakes up from Sleep/Hibernation mode.
This adds another additional layer of security to the VPN, by preventing any unwanted (private) information from leaking across your regular (public) network without your knowledge or consent.
