Internet stability

How are you guys internets holding up? I keep getting disconnected from the anyconnect VPN due to connectivity issues. There was an issue once today at the office main line internet so it flipped over to the backup and then back again. But even since, I have had a few more blips on the VPN but didnt see any issue with my home and there was no issue detected at the office.

Same from Sri Lanka, disconnections etc.

The 50 user Anyconnect SSL license I have on the server was almost fully consumed because of the blips and new connections from the clients creating duplicates and not closing the previous after some time.

I found I have wifi issues at the house. Not noticeable just doing internet browsing, but my VPN disconnects/reconnects almost constantly. I moved to a wired connection at lunch of day 1, and can now stay online all day.

I had a "Slow TV" video running yesterday that got interrupted when YouTube degraded its video quality and (I guess) had to bounce all its servers to make the change take effect. It's back, but the higher HD options aren't available.

No worries, it's just watching a canal cruise in Norway...

comcast, my ISP, has had a bundle of problems over the past week,.  unable to connect, dropped connects, slow connections.
sometimes even without VPN.

never the less, it sucks being on the RA VPN team with forced telework,  and thousands of people that don't regularly work remote,
posture checking and all that flub, irate users, really put a dent in my craw.

for you non us-ers

Thanks guys - thanks Otanx for the link.

I forced logged out all the sessions this morning and will keep an eye on it now since I've set an idle timeout of 30 minutes. hopefully that sorts it out.

No issues for me personally. We did have to tell remote workers to stop using our RA VPN over Verizon Mifi's. Three days into this mess and all VPN traffic coincidentally stopped working on Verizon.

[Dieselboy]

What's intercepting VPN traffic, then 

[deanwebb]

Verizon throttling those Mifi connections, probably.

Verizon throttling those Mifi connections, probably.

That was our assumption. It wasn't deemed important enough to investigate so don't really know for sure.
