Well, I connect to 3 different VPNs at different times. For one I use Open VPN Connect, for one I use some PPTP client that is on my Mac, and for one I use Tunnleblick. It is only the one I connect to with Tunnleblick that regularly disconnects. The sysadmin for that site said I am the only one who is experiencing problems, and he has variously blamed it on: -I am running too much on my computer -I have an old version of MacOS -I have many VMs configured (even though none are running when I connect) -The old firewall/VPN appliance they have is crappy -I'm a Yankee fan and he's a Red Sox fan He has given up trying to help me, and my client is annoyed because the constant disconnects seriously effect my productivity. So I am grasping at straws and willing to try anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
