Description
(Feature Request/Discussion)
Hey,
I would like to implement a setting, that, when active, instantly reconnects to the last connected vpn when the application is started.
My reasoning is, that whenever I start OpenVPN I always want to connect to my work vpn and it would be faster to just open the app and let it connect by itself then to wait for the loading and then press the connect switch.
Any opinions on the idea before I start implementing and opening a pull request?

Research direction
Review the application startup flow and the existing connection-setting behavior. Define how the new setting should select the last connected VPN and what should happen when it is enabled, then verify that starting the application reconnects automatically without requiring the connect switch.
