VPN Mac OS shuts off every time I stop using computer (MacBook Pro)

(Only 2 Mac categories? Neither relevant.)

I work, it's on. I walk away and come back, it's off. Of course, most of the time I never remember to turn it on since this happens many times a day.

I don't close the laptop lid either.

Mac OS 14.6.1

Bitdefender VPN on my iPad Pro and iPhone don't have this problem.
