Well, in order to examine the totality of the session it would note the time (I 
put a
digital clock widget on screen) the VPN was activated and the time it 
disconnected.  I
would then use the --since and --until parameters to  extract the info.

I just started and then stopped a connection and used....

journalctl -b 0 --since 06:19:00 --until 06:19:25  >  session

So, I can see the whole process.  FWIW, I manually disconnected at 06:19:15.

I have never seen that behavior.  But, I have my HW clock set to GMT.  I seem 
to recall
this to be the preferred setting and you may have issues with time stamps if 
set otherwise.
