Research direction

Start by reproducing the disconnect after about 20 minutes and inspect the VPN connection lifecycle and related logs. The issue names no files or tests, so trace the Android VPN service entry point and check how it handles a connection that stops working. Done means the VPN stays usable past 20 minutes without requiring a manual reconnect.

Description

Hey
I've noticed that the VPN seems to stop working or disconnect after approximately 20 minutes. To get it working again, I have to manually turn the VPN off and back on.
