Cisco VPN client to Fortigate 110c

"Works like a charm for all users except one, this user is using 3 G mobile broadband as is getting disconnected every five minutes"
So, you think that this one user is getting connected to the VPN successfully, at least occasionally?
If so, then the issue is not a VPN encryption issue, but an Internet provider reliability issue, I think.
Here is a link regarding iPhone on AT&T o er 3G, and VPN issues due to network congestion.

User is getting connected and then every five to 10 minutes gets disconnected. Dont think the problem is congestion as a few weeks ago when they were connecting to a Cisco box they did not get dropout. Don't think it is the Fortigate as the non wireless connected users are getting less dropouts then when they were connecting to the Cisco.

Hi dlg654,

We had a similar issue with a mobile network provider in the UK, it turned out to be a limitation of the particular APN they provided.

They provided an alternative one that was only for VPN users which gave users a public IP and did not go through their DPI process.

Does your 3G operator provide a similar setup?

The only other thing I can think is to enable autokey keep alive on the firewall and set the keylife to sub 10 minutes so the tunnel can rekey before it drops.

Cheers,
