## The problem
**I don't know how to reproduce the issue, since it happens randomly.**
**Sometimes I'm watching a stream and pause it just to check my messages and see that my Wi-Fi lost connection. I go to the settings and see that it is not connected, but somehow shows it wants to. Then I just tap on it, and it reconnects normally, but until then I used my data for I don't know how long for a stream.**
Since I don't know how to replicate the issue, I'm not able to show a screenshot right now. I got this phone like 1.5 weeks ago, so I cannot say if it started happening after the update, or if something else is the problem. I currently changed the setting of my VPN to split-tunneling and included apps, so that the normal phone apps are not routed through that. I just want to test if that maybe was the issue. The VPN I'm using is Proton.
