Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1000

Describe the bug
If I'm connected to my server and put the laptop to sleep, then wake it up - both Amnezia app and wi-fi (or Ethernet) connections show up as working but I cannot access any website neither from browser nor from CLI (except local networks). Everything starts working as soon as I disconnect from my server in the Amnezia app.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Connect to the vpn server
Put devise to sleep/suspend
Wake it up
Internet connection is not working now

Expected behavior
After waking from sleep the connection should work

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: CachyOS (Arch based)
Version: 4.7.0.0

Server (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Additional context
I tried doing the same thing on:

Windows 10 LTSC / 4.6.0.3
- Works as intended
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 4.6.0.3
- Does not work
Fedora 40 / 4.6.0.3
- Does not work
EndeavourOS / 4.6.0.3
- Does not work

Also had some troubles installing 4.7.0.0 version for some reason, installed perfectly fine only on CachyOS.

Tried this on two machines, all bare metal:

Asus laptop:
- CachyOS
PC:
- Windows
- Ubuntu
- Fedora
- EndeavourOS

+1 for this. On PopOs.
Looks like amnesia client creating a tun type connection when starting ( nmcli connection show ) and this connection is up faster then ethernet (main) connection. (not a proffessional network guy, so i can be wrong)

It tries to reconnect after waking up from suspension but doesn't connect until the user clicks on the reconnect button to disconnect, and then clicks again to connect.

The client must detect sleep/wake events and network interface disconnect/reconnect events. Right now it knows nothing about those and the connection always has to be re-initiated manually.

+1 on Arch. Also, when disconnecting to reconnect manually after sleep, CPU usage rapidly spikes for a couple seconds, looks to me like a memory leak/infinite loop.

I think the right solution would be to add a new command to the amnezia daemon, such as AmneziaVPN-service disconnect, and create a systemd service that will run in sleep.target.
But this requires attention from devs.

Issue still present with 4.8.11.4, Manjaro Linux, kernel 6.17.13

My suggestion add a way tell Amnezia via CLI stop/start. Sleep or resume hook can call this command. At least, it is solution for me.

Why close an issue if the problem has not yet been resolved?

Hi, I'm not a dev, but if you check project's commits - they did not include this PR in new release yet.
