Internet connection lost when reboot/back from sleep

General system Newbie

I recently installed MullvadVPN and it connects to the web perfectly. I am also able to connect to the web once I disconnect from the service.

I configured Mullvad to connect at start-up and I’m noticing that if I put my computer to sleep and come back into KDE, I don’t have any internet connection. I have to manually disconnect from Mullvad and reconnect.

Is there something that can be done to fix this? Any changes needed to the Firewall app?

Have a look at @resume services:

It is all in section 5.

edit - does restarting the network service help?

I need to disconnect from Mullvad (it auto-connects) and then it works. I’m trying to understand why this happens as it would be great to not have to disconnect/reconnect every time I wake up the laptop from sleep/hibernate.
