Make the App auto-reconnect feature fail over to other server locations if reconnect fails.
If the auto-reconnection fails after a given amount of times, then have the App automatically try a different server location for a given amount of times, and then try a different server after, so on and so forth, until a successful connection is made.

Wünsche mir automatische Verbindung mit anderem Server, wenn VPN in China abbricht, was oft passiert. Das ist besonders bei der Benutzung von FaceTime sehr lästig.

As search order for the "next" server use the same value that is evaluated for connection speed using "fastest server"

Especially important for the mobile phone applications, as connection drop is more likely due to movement/change of location.
In China since last quarter of 2014 reconnection to the same server fails quite often (maybe 60% of cases), so a server pool would improve the usefulness of the app. -

Use the favourites as a pool of severs for the auto-reconnect feature.

Auto fail-over to multiple servers in a pool or at the very least to other servers that are close geographically

Good idea. Maybe always make two connections? One for use with "full" bandwith and one for backup without using much bandwith and then switching speeds (or not) if the main connections drops.
