I'm not even sure which forum to post this in!I have a VPN connection to my workplace. I suffer from frequent early VPN disconnects but occasionally it works normally.a. The workplace is connected to Lightwire. I am on Spark fibre unlimited 200/20 which is fantastic for normal Internet use.b. I have a Linksys EA8500 router and use ethernet (not wireless) to connect my PC to my home network. VPN passthrough is turned on. This is my second Router: I had exactly the same problem when I used a NetComm NF8AC.c. My PC uses Windows 7 64-bit and I have Norton Internet Security installed.My VPN dialler apears to be set up correctly. I can very briefly connect to the work network but it almost always disconnects after 30-60 seconds. During that window I have normal connectivity with the servers at work and can ping them. Then the connection drops but the PC shows it is still connected, but pings time out.However by doing nothing different periodically for 2-3 days I get normal stable connectivity and can work remotely, but after a couple of days it fails again at 30-60 seconds.1. At the time of the disconnect after showing a series of "success" messages Windows Event Viewer lists an RAS Error:2. Event ID 20226 "The user ***** dialed a connection named ***VPN Connection which has terminated. The reason code returned on termination is 631." -code 631 says "the port was disconnected by the user".3. I set up a VPN dialup from my Windows 10 laptop which connects but then immediately disconnects (same RAS Even messages) but does a stable connection over 3G. My laptop does not have Norton Installed, instead using Windows Firewall.In summary two PC's on my home network with different operating systems and different firewalls are having the same problem of VPN disconnections, and it occurs with two different routers. I can connect via Vodafone 3G which suggests it is not a problem at the workplace or their ISP (Lightwire). So where should I go from here?
