    I also thought it didn't make sense before. I was an heavy PIA VPN user and it had the function which in the end I ended using the feature a lot.
    Example using hagglezon site which blocks VPNs I would snooze for a while and rest assured that the VPN would turn on again in a minute or two if I ever forgot to turn it back on again.
    Rustdesk sometimes also has problems with VPNs but only during the "find" your server proccess, after the connection is established you no longer need the VPN off.
    So the snooze button would do 2 good things in my opinion:
    - Allow you to easily turn off the VPN for a bit of time for services that block them
    - Reduce human error (e.g. people forgetting to turn it back on after disabling it)

    Some websites block the usage of VPNs it would be great if we could snooze the VPN for a few minutes without having to disconnect and then reconnect manually.
    Would be extra good if it could be done with a right click on the taskbar or system tray icon.
