I have this issue. Using ProtonVPN. Annoying that i have to restart Dropbox on my Mac. Disruptive when i forget to manually restart Dropbox and then my local files don't sync with my partners. Please fix!

You know, I came here to give an update about how I thought it was a specific provider I was trying out at the time, but after reading my comments I was (and still am) using OpenVPN and while I am using the OpenVPN GUI and not their normal app (which is what I was using at the time), I haven't had this issue since.
So it's possibly it's something with the way the actual underlying "app" that performs the connections is doing. I'd suspect that some of the apps (unless they all inherently have to of course) potentially cut all connectivity when it connects/reconnects and that trips up Dropbox.
Like I said, I'm currently using OpenVPN GUI and I haven't had the issue with Dropbox since. Absolutely nothing else has changed on my end since.
