Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1219

Describe the bug
Uploading relatively big site list causes memory leak. After restarting the app it's impossible to reset the list because it requires to load the whole list into the UI (that causes memory leak again). Mentioned in https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1135 but was not solved

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to 'Settings'->'Connection'->'Site-based split tunneling'
Click on three dots then 'import'
Choose file for import: amnezia_sites.json (this file is very big but you can reproduce in with file from https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1135)
Application starts consuming RAM like crazy

Expected behavior
List is loaded successfully and app is usable

Log files
Logs are enabled in settings, but no logs are written

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 11
Version 4.8.1.9

Additional context

Related issues:

It probably has something to do with client/ui/controllers/sitesController.cpp and I would gladly fixed it myself if I'd ever worked with Qt and C++
