I have been using P.I A. for at least ten years now, but the last year - especially with very important connections - it stops/disconnects. It's getting worse and I have to constantly reconnect. Is there a fix for this that isn't beta or an optional feature? This shouldn't happen.

Lately, for months now, I'm having issues with disconnections or being connected with no data transferring. Often just trying to connect or reconnect results in no connection no matter what settings I set! Never had this problem before and it's not my base internet connections whether Wi-Fi or phone provider connections. Not sure what's going on but I'm about to switch to another VPN if it doesn't resolve soon.

This service works great on PC, it's less than optimal on mobile. The server connection menu on mobile is completely broken and has been for a long time. The "optimal server" button doesn't work, ping doesn't refresh on the server list, and you have to try 8 different servers to find one that connects. After that hassle, it's generally pretty good at doing the things you need a VPN to do with the exception of the occasional connection drop when moving with the phone, which doesn't have a warning
