Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm using iOS and my ABS server is not internet facing. But I do have a home VPN setup. So I could setup in a way that when ABS app launched (using Shortcuts app), I'll be automatically connected to home VPN. The issue arise when "Attempting server connection" timeout is too short, it timed out before the completion of switching/turning on of home VPN, effectively making ABS app assume offline state. So I would have to manually tap the three dots on top right most and manually click connect to server.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make it a configurable timeout for "Attempting server connection".

Describe alternatives you've considered

Increase the timeout to longer duration instead.
