Unstable connection detected. Most often happening at 4 hours and 20 minutes

[henryjb99]

I have been running the master version of this Docker image for a while, but lately, I have been getting a bunch of disconnects, eventually leading to the entire VPN dying and me having to restart my docker images. There doesn't seem to be a common factor in the amount of data transferred, but the connection never seems to last longer than 4 hours and 40 minutes. At some points, there can be bytes or kilobytes transfered in the 4+ hours, other times it could be MB or GB.

I am in the Midwest area of the USA using Comcast as my ISP and a wired connection to my router. My work VPN has not been having these issues, but they don't use Nord VPN either.

Has anyone else been experiencing these type of disconnects?

I have attached my logs showing the repeated disconnects.

yup, it works the same way for me, it's an issue on nordvpn site, the connection stalls after a while, so i put in place a mechanism to detect that and restart the connection, everything connected using the container may drop connection while the re-connection happens, but once it gets reestablished everything should work just fine.

Do you still run into the issue where the container just stops being able to reconnect after a while? For me, it is usually a day or so and then I have to bounce the entire pod.

It has being more stable for me on the master branch.
