It signs me off all the time for no reason. I always need to sign in every day and it stresses me out. I always travel abroad and connects to airport and other public WIFI for communication, but the VPN could not stay connected when you needed it the most. Imagine getting signed out aaallll the time? Every time i check the app I always need to repeat the sign on process. I have a yearly premium subscription, I guess I am not continuing it anymore.
