As a recent victim of fraud, one of the things I decided to do is add vpn to my ms defender app.

What i found is the vpn does not stay connected when I close my laptop cover. I find that I must initiate it every time I use the laptop.

What can I do to keep vpm automatically active when I open the cover to my laptop?

Thanks for your reply
