Troubleshooting Tips
It takes a
really
long time to shut down the computer after using
Mobile User VPN...
If you open and browse a mapped network drive during a MUVPN
session, the Windows operating system waits for a signal from the
network before it times out and completes the shut down cycle.
I lost the connection to my ISP, and now I can’t use the company
network...
If you lose Internet connection long enough, MUVPN also loses the
secure tunnel. Follow the steps to close the tunnel. Then connect to the
Internet and restart the MUVPN client.
