Post-quantum "kills" the connection to the VPN about every 2-3 hours

[noisecode3]

I can now confirm that Post-quantum don't work on Slackware-current or Arch Linux with recent kernel.
It just disconnect the traffic leaving only like a ping coming from the server, that I could see in tcpdump.

Nordvpn status still say its up, NetworkManager is not down or anything like that, just a ping left from the server.
The killswitch is always on if it matters. No other settings, just pq on will do this.

If this is my Internet service provider, I don't know. I thought you should know. Maybe we can go around it? You can reproduce?

Its normal UDP with NORDLYNX all default settings, except auto-connect and killswitch;

I don't really need Post-quantum I was just messing around...

Actually tcpdump is completely silent when this happens on Slackware current exactly 2h 42min of up time then I have to use the command nordvpn c again.. It was different with Arch I think... I could see the VPN still trying...

Hi @noisecode3, thank you for reporting 🙇

We tried to reproduce this on supported distros and we can't reproduce it. Unfortunately we are not supporting Slackware and Arch directly, so we are not checking those distros.

While it's possible that some recent developments in the kernel cause this, we'll stumble upon it when we'll be testing supported distros with those kernel changes and then we'll address this if it turns out to be affecting the app
