Issue

The VPN GUI does not show the end-user when a VPN server disconnects.

Steps to reproduce

Connect to VPN by sliding the slider "VPN Connection" to the right. Verify that you do have a connection.

After some period server disconnects, maybe after 24 hours or after a period of no activity.

Then: The Icon on the traybar is not updated to show the disconnection and the VPN connection indicator is still green and slided to the right.

Expected behaviour

When the VPN server disconnects your computer, a dialog box should show "The connection was terminated by server" and the traybar Icon should not show a good VPN connection.
