Can you try setting the value to somewhere between 10-25?

1 is excessive as all persistent keep alive does is keep the VPN routing from dropping. Even wireguards official client doesn't recommend such a low number.

I normally keep mine around 20-25 (servers behind a VPN and not had any issues with connectivity)

Changing the value from 1 to 10 or 25 won't make much of a difference since the issue is the number of logs generated by the persistent keepalive and all of them are displayed on the same page without pagination/rotation.

I think the problem is not that the keepalive value is low, it's that the "Connection Log" panel doesn't clear messages and all the keepalive/handshake messages pile up over time wasting quite a bit of memory. This is true even when the app is minimized to the tray and not even displayed on screen.

I have to refer to this: #148

The problem is caused by the way edge handles logs. This is strictly a logging issue due to whatever issues edge has. Clearly Edge is not that good at handling logging.

This should now be resolved in version 1.0.7 where I have implemented a log limit that can be adjusted in settings.
