Freedome connects twice when coming from Sleep

So I have desktop PC which I at times put to sleep. W8.1 x64, with USB Wifi adapter.
When returning from Sleep, I see Freedome making connection to VPN server which is fine. It connects and I can use Internet.
However, after some time (minutes) it disconnects and makes new connection (automatically). I've seen it far too often (on laptop as well). Why this happens and can I send you some logs so you can investigate it? If it continues, it would be a bit disturbing 
Otherwise really like the product!

Hi Lord_Ami,
Adding on to your question, what might be happening is that when the computer wakes from the sleep, it may keep using the IP address it had before going to sleep. However, the IP address lease time from the DHCP server may have expired during the sleep and the Windows then gets a new IP address from the DHCP server. This would cause this kind of behaviour with Freedome.

Could it cause from ADAPTER settings?
This is my guessing.
Have a nice Midsummer!

Hi Lord_Ami,
What is the version of Freedome being used?
Is your Wi-Fi reconnecting again when Freedome again does the reconnection? With Freedome not connected, do you see the same happening with the Wi-Fi also?
Hi!

No, Wifi does not disconnect/reconnect. It happens in laptop too. When I have more time I will try to replicate it more. It seems to be quite random, but mostly happens with coming from Sleep (or during initial startup).
Yes, you're right. This could be it.
I'll try to check my local IP after restart and verify it
Will keep you posted.
Thank you!
Hi Lord_Ami,
Just trying to follow up on this, were you able to verify it?
Hi!
Sorry for lack of response. It seems to be originiating from DHCP changing local IP address. However, I've not experienced it so much anymore, so that's great
Thanks for keeping us posted, Lord_Ami! Good to know this has not happened again.
