    When VPN Connects, WiFi Disconnects


    Thank you for taking a look at my thread..

    This has never been an issue that I am aware of.... but... when I connect my VPN my wifi seems to disconnect. When I disconnect VPN the Wifi resumes. My settings haven't changed and its always been fine.

    Now I see that if I enter my VPN's adapter properties and uncheck 'use default gateway on remote network' this allows me to connect VPN and maintain Wifi connection. There is a problem however, when I test my current IP address it does not reflect a VPN connection, I know its connected but seems unchecking that box does something that makes my actual IP show.

    Thanks for your help!

    :)

    I tried powering down my modem and router for 10 minutes and this seems to have solved the issue.

    How to connect/disconnect to a VPN using the command line?


    Hi all

    I have several network connections configured.

    • There is one wifi connection which automatically connects to my WLAN,
    • another cable based LAN connection to a NAS which is used for backups
    • and some L2TP connection connections (used for VPN if needed).

    Is there a way to connect to these VPNs via the command line (so that I can have a "Batch" File which starts or stops this connection)? I already tried to find something but havent found a solution.

    vpn is not working

    Hi,

    To address your concern, provide the answers to the following:

    • Is your WiFi enabled when trying to connect to VPN?
    • Were you able to use WiFi without connecting to VPN?

    If you can use WiFi properly without connecting to VPN, we suggest that you refer to your company's IT folks.

    Regards.
