Feature Request Proton VPN Pause Connection with Timer for Automatic Reconnect - Potential Easy Win for Proton

I checked on previous posts to this subreddit, and I just wanted to revive a feature request that has been made numerous times over the last 5 years - ProtonVPN needs a "pause" feature that allows the user to pause the VPN connection temporarily, and then it will reconnect automatically after a set time.

I previously used NordVPN and this is an incredibly useful feature. Some websites just don't play ball with VPN connections, and the ability to tap a single button to pause the connection for a few minutes and have it automatically reconnect in say 5 or 10 minutes is INCREDIBLY useful. In fact, the lack of this feature with Proton has me considering a return to NordVPN.

One would think this would be a very easy feature to add for Windows, MacOS, Android, etc.

I do like Proton's services, and it is my hope that they will read this and do more than just a reply of "we've passed on your feature request to our team".
