So I just tried to replicate this issues two ways:

  1. I disconnected from the VPN, shut down the app, then restarted it and reconnected. I was able to establish a connection and checking my IP and for DNS leaks both showed I had a solid connection.
  2. I rebooted the PC and when I was back on the desktop, I started up the app and it connected almost immediately after hitting the quick connect button. I tested again and it passed.

Maybe they've since corrected the issues you were seeing?
