Problem Statement/Rationale
Sometimes my compass client connects to the DB but most of the time it does not. This means the connection string is ok.
I usually get left corner notification:
getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND .......
When I try in the console: nslookup ......(connection string)

The DB is always up and working for the app, so its not that case.
I am using a VPN, and this setup worked perfect before, for 1-2 months it started doing this.
I need to connect multiple times, maybe restart the computer and sometimes it randomly connects and works.
Please be sure to attach relevant logs with any sensitive data redacted.
