After some minutes of leisure my connection goes offline. I run on Sierra Mac X. Does it come from the sleep mode?
Because it reconnects automatically after wakeup. How can I avoid disconnecting at all?

Because: Isn’t it unsecure within the time between starting reconnecting and successfully having created the connection? And in the time where the connection was lost (idle time?

Is there any chance to stop loosing connection Ethernet or WLAN?

Hi Hunter_I,

When your computer goes to sleep all network activity is stopped: your computer turns off power to ethernet ports and Wi-Fi adapters. It is not possible to maintain a VPN connection, or any network connection, while your computer is sleeping. For more information please see:
