bug: changing network or switching VPN makes requests stall

[SethFalco]

Expected Behavior

I should be able to switch network, then continue to make requests as normal.

Actual Behavior

If I make a request, then either switch network or VPN while the app is open, I can no longer make requests.

I have to restart Insomnia to make new requests.

Reproduction Steps

You must have at least 2 networks or a VPN configured to do reproduce this.

1. Launch Insomnia
2. Make a request (ideally it'll succeed… ^-^')
3. Either:
   a. Switch to another network.
   b. Switch between Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
   c. Toggle your VPN connection, or switch to another VPN.
4. Attempt to make another request.

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the issue tracker for this problem.

Hi @SethFalco, thanks for reporting this!

This will need some investigation on our side, though I suspect it might also be related with another issue we have had reported a while back, #3454.

Some questions:

• Do you attempt to make another request right after switching networks/VPN or after a few seconds?
• Are you still able to reproduce it this, if say, after you switch network/VPN, you restart Insomnia?

In the meantime feel free to report any other issues you find 👍

Do you attempt to make another request right after switching networks/VPN or after a few seconds?

Both cause the same issue.

It doesn't seem to impact requests to 0.0.0.0.
It also doesn't impact requests that weren' executed before switching network.

For example, if I do a request, switch network, then repeat, it has the problem.
If I do a request, switch network, then navigate to a different request and do that one, it's fine.

Are you still able to reproduce it this, if say, after you switch network/VPN, you restart Insomnia?

No, restarting Insomnia resolves the issue.

Alright, thank you for your answers. I suspect it is indeed similar to #3454, as the behaviour you just described, I was able to reproduce as well last week.

We'll try to update you if there's any changes or fixes here.
