Honestly feel you on this, such a pain when your VPN keeps timing out.

The bigger issue no one's talking about is how these coffee shops have their own DNS settings that mess with your VPN's handshake. I had a spot in Seminyak where every 15 minutes my connection would just drop, turned out their router was running some weird transparent proxy for the government filters. Switched to using my phone as a tether with a travel router (game changer, seriously) and all those random timeouts stopped happening. The coffee shop wifi was actively fighting my VPN the whole time, not just being slow.
