Hi there,<br />
<br />
How exactly are you connecting VPN? via RAS or concentrator?<br />
How often drop? for how long? do you have an Idle timeout in place?<br />
<br />
Those question needs to be answered before proceeding with a concrete answer.<br />

It is the Windows VPN. &nbsp;Whatever the built in VPN is on Windows 10, that is what we are using. &nbsp;It is in Networking and Sharing center on Windows..... &nbsp; &nbsp;When the laptop drops, what I am saying is the VPN disconnects. We have to go back into the network icon and choose &quot;Connect&quot; on the VPN

There is a Zyxell 2 router at the data center that the servers are connected to. We don't use the VPN in the Zyxell 2 router, though.

We have been using the VPN that is built into Windows. Our server is Windows Server 2016 and our workstations are Windows 10 Pro. &nbsp;Most of us are remote, so we VPN to connect and work. &nbsp;Some users are having issues where the VPN keeps dropping and not related to internet, the internet service is fine, just the VPN will randomly disconnect. &nbsp;Would it be better to use a VPN router and if so, which one and do we just need one at the data center where the server is, or does every remote person need a matching VPN router?

VPN Router?

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.
