@Seychik23 If you have Premium, go to settings and enable VLESS

It solved the problem for me, this protocol provides a much more stable connection

I added persistentKeepAlive=15 inside the container in awg0. conf. The connection no longer drops. If you have the same issue, this works as a temporary solution. Hope it works for you.

PersistentKeepalive = 15 (or 10, 5) doesn't help. We need reconnect feature if connection is lost or changed.
