The connection to the database is dropped occasionally (as far as I can tell, independently of internet connectivity issues). I have experienced this quite a lot. I do not think it is PgAdmin that drops the connection. Could be postgres itself is dropping the connection.
There have been a number of requests for PgAdmin to ty to reestablish the connection "behind the scenes" (at least once) before giving up and reporting a lost connection.

No, there's no such thing. It may be related to your firewall or to
PostgreSQL.
