"Messages" App goes Offline when viscosity is connecting

Hi sixblades,

My recommendation would be to delay Viscosity’s reconnection attempt when waking your computer from sleep, so you can be sure it isn’t attempting a connect until your WiFi connection is back up. Please see the following thread for details:

However generally your WiFi connection shouldn’t be disconnecting when simply bringing up the login window to lock your machine (without the computer sleeping). If this is what is happening you may like to refer to:

Cheers,
