[Enhancement] How should client react to server maintenance? #81

Description

I use MacOS v1.5.3, but the following probably applies to other versions.

When the server I was connected to switched to maintenance mode, I didn't have any notice besides my internet connection dying. Since the ProtonVPN icon in my status bar was showing the successful connection checkmark, it took me a few minutes of troubleshooting before I manually checked the server status and identified the issue.

Wondering about different ways to handle this:

  • Stay connected to server with no connection (current experience)
  • Pop a warning to notify the user
  • Automatically reconnect to another server

If in "quick connect" mode, switching to another server would probably be fine. I use 5 specific servers, so in my case a warning would be more helpful. (however, I'm probably the edge case)

Thoughts?
