Also, this is a security problem. It robs the user of the ability to
easily see that the VPN is (still) connected. If the VPN goes down, and
the user doesn't happen to see the momentary pop-up message (or if that
message has been accidentally or deliberately suppressed), the user will
think his communications are encrypted when they are actually exposed.

It can easily be exploited:
1. Distract the user or wait until he looks away from his screen.
2. Interfere with the internet connection for a few seconds, causing the user's VPN to fail.
3. Capture the user's packets.
