## changes:
- I observed a code [which can lead to a stall condition in the wintun driver](https://github.com/Twingate/wintun/blob/6bfc34a60aa944149fdc7e9cddb191e9a8b6ec1a/driver/twintun.c#L487-L488)
- I didn't want to change the driver code as, I was not sure if it will create a busy loop on kernel
- so instead I tackle this on the client-part of wintun
# issue description:
## Reproducing issue
- run iperf client on Client machine with the command `iperf3 -c 127.0.0.1.us.east.direct.vpn -t 300 -b0 -P1`
- once in a while we see intervals when no throughput goes to 0 and it takes about 4-5 sec to get out of this situation.
