Adguard VPN kill switch issue

Hi all

I bought 5 year package of Adguard VPN because it was very cheap, but I think I am already regretting it.

It has so called kill switch, and my expectation was, VPN must be active at all times, and when it is not, it should cut the connection, right? But this VPN disconnects itself as soon as I lock my Windows and doesn’t kill any connections.

I did a simple test. I executed ping google.com -t while VPN was active, I let it run for 30-40 seconds then locked the Windows. Waited 2-3 minutes and then logged in. VPN was disconnected and as soon as I logged in it tried to connect again, but my ping commands never interrupted.

Anyone else encountered this issue? There are other issues with their DNS app too but this most important one. No other VPN app acted like this apart from Adguard. Then this is the first VPN app that disconnects on Windows lock.
