Ping watchdog

Summary

need watchdog to reset connection if ping fails

Steps to reproduce

Self hosting wireguard means needing the watchdog on the iOS client, otherwise at times and after restarts of the server, client fails to connect while vps stays active

What is the current bug behavior?

Need to manually disconnect and reconnect the vpn

What is the expected correct behavior?

Would be nice to have a shortcut on iOS to ping and stop-start the client if fails after N pings.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Possible fixes suggested remediation

Shortcut should be set as running every time safari (or other browsers or certain apps) are opened AND at fixed intervals. A simple ping -c 10 cloudflare.com would trigger reset of the given connection Today, the only workaround is to reset the connection when opening but that causes a brief interruption every time. We should try to avoid that if possible.
