Random Windows VPN disconnects

astro4000

My VPN will disconnect randomly. I may walk away from my pc, screen saver may come on after a while, could be 15 minutes to a hour later (or overnight with no reboot or updates) and I see the VPN is DISCONNECTED. Is this normal, am I protected form outside attacks if VPN is off???

What is the purpose of the VPN if not turned on or unreliable. Maybe I should try PIA.

My issue is not slow speed. Issue is constant daily multiple DISCONNECTS. I tried Montreal today, it was better but so far 1 disconnect when I returned to my pc after maybe 1 hour.

Even on automatic it will disconnect. That link you posted appears to troubleshoot speed issues only.

It's never "stuck" always works, but have to occasionally "Connect" Happened once today, other days many times needed to re-connect when I return to the pc. 😐

I have the same issue. Started using Bitdefender VPN about a month ago, and it worked fine. Lately however it keeps dropping the connection, even after restarting PC ,to the point were it was unworkable and I had to switch off VPN…

I switched to PIA (Private Internet Access) and no more problems. No disconnects. Solid.
