The application fails to re-establish a connection when the "Auto-Secure" feature is enabled.

[grold]

The application fails to re-establish a connection after an unexpected network drop when the "Auto-Secure" feature is enabled.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Windscribe and enable Auto-Secure in the Connection settings.
Connect to any server location.
Simulate a network interruption (e.g., briefly disable Wi-Fi or unplug the Ethernet cable).
Restore the network connection.
Observe the application's behavior.

Expected Result
Windscribe should detect the restored network and automatically reconnect the VPN tunnel.

Actual Result
The application fails to reconnect. Logs show whitelisted=true, and the client stays stuck, effectively locking the user out of the internet due to the active Auto-Secure policy.
