Check your VPN policies for lifetime, i.e. whether the setting is the same on both ends, and as far as allowed traffic, check your ACLs if you permitted the traffic through the tunnel.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I've connected 2 routers via VPN Tunneling using IPSec but i have a few problems in that the VPN drops out every 5 minutes on the dot and automatically restarts again what could be the problem here, also might i add that the routers are not the same, one is a draytec and the other is a netgear.<br />
My other problem is that although the VPN is working for that 5 minutes when i connect a laptop to the off site office nothing will connect to the main server via this VPN route.<br />
<br />
I've set tunneling up many with no problem although i use the same routers, but this time i've set it up using what they had and the problems are to refresh:<br />
<br />
1) The VPN drops out every 5 minutes<br />
2) Nothing only the IP phone will connect to the main office server i.e.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;a) Exchange<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;b) Mapped locations<br />
<br />
Also i'am able to ping to devices at both locations

VPN Dropping out Every 5 minutes on the dot

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
