Random connection breaks when working with multiple devices

[vividius]

Describe the bug
My flow with one phone:

• start device
• do ios image auto
• do forward <unique_port_for_device> <port_on_device>
• create tunnel
• run wda
• install an app
• work with wda
• reboot phone
• repeat
  This process is continuous and goes in a circle.

The issues start when I start connecting MORE devices. Random devices, randomly breaks connections in random places.

I went through all documentation and was not able to find a way of connecting new devices to EXISTING tunnel.
So I have to create tunnel for EACH device and close processes by PID when phone goes to reboot.

I feel that I'm doing something wrong and there is a way to start tunnel once and just "plug-in" new devices into it.
PLEASE suggest how this should be done. Already spent weeks on this and still can't find the right way to do it.
Thank you!!

Windows
IOS 17+, 18

You don't need a tunnel process per device: a single ios tunnel start (add --userspace on Windows without admin/wintun) manages tunnels for every plugged device, picks up devices plugged in later, and survives device reboots — other commands find it automatically via the tunnel-info port (default 60105), so there's nothing to "plug in" manually and nothing to kill per device. The random breaks with multiple userspace devices were race conditions fixed in #503, and PR #809 additionally makes the agent detect dead tunnels and recreate them automatically (e.g. across your reboot cycles). Please retest on the latest release with one shared agent; reopen with logs if connections still drop.
