Now when you start connecting VPN,( it will not have a connection yet) the request will be done for to a public DNS server. So if you would go to, the request for the IP-address is done at your internal DNS server. So you would set that all traffic to *. will be send through the VPN connection to request the IP-address from the internal DNS Your internal and external domain name is and your vpn connection is set to. This in case you are using splitįor example. If anyone still has reconnect issues, the following can also help when the domain name of the always on vpn connection is the same as one of the domain names which will be setup to ask the internal DNS servers for the IP. It doesn't appear there willīe much development or competent support with this technology. We will also begin looking at a commercial alternative to MS' VPN. We are preparing to "archive" the Microsoft case, and just deploy AOVPN with the caveat to our users to restart if they have any connectivity issues. We are sure the issue is related to power states and resume, as mentioned several times in this thread. The issue goes away if you disable Fast Startup feature and disable low power state on the NIC adapters. Not an option to reduce security in this day& age.Ħ. MS wants us to disable Umbrella Roaming client, stating the loopback proxy is causing an issue of DNS lookup. We do not have this issue with DirectAccess VPN, and we are still using it on 99% of our workstations, because we cannot deploy AOVPN.ĥ. You familiar with Umbrella, we have our domain completely exempted from proxying/filtering. It uses a loopback address on the IP adapter (127.0.0.1) to intercept all DNS queries. Specific to our environment - Latest is that MS is suspecting our workstations have Cisco Umbrella Roaming client on them to block malicious websites.

The only fix is a RESTART - as mentioned many times here.Ĥ. When the the issue occurs after standby/fast startup - the vpn logs do not generate any useful information.ģ. There is only this "workaround", no KB patch, 1909 or post 1909.Ģ. Please try to make the changes in your VPN profile on one of the affected machines and share the outcome."ġ. I have not received confirmation about a permanent fix for this scenario. Note: You need to replace ‘’ with the public name of your VPN. That would mean that for that specific name the DNS query should be always sent via public interface. You can create an exception in NRPT table inside your AOVPN configuration specifically for the VPN connection name and do not define a DNS server for it. I am sharing the suggested workaround which will place VPN name in the exception of NRPT table and the VPN name will be resolved by the DNS server configured on your physical NIC. In such scenario, client tries to connect to VPN using the DNS information available in NRPT, that points to your internal DNS server. "I tried to find the logs in the events for failure scenario, however I could not find the related event for connection attempt being made for VPN.Īs per the known issue, it happens when the NRPT table of AOVPN connection gets saved in the cache and does not recognize that VPN is not connected anymore. (Names, ticket number, domain names removed.) We have not validated yet, because of other reasons I state below.

This is an excerpt from our support engineer. Here is their "workaround" that they claim is resolving this issue for their customers.

2 months ago, had to reach out to my TAM to get the case escalated to the highest level - suppossedly AOVPN engineers on the case now. My company has had a MS support ticket open for over 5 months, trading logs back and forth. When the problem exist on one or more clients after standby, other clients can still connect without issues. We have the issue on all clients from different brands and models. VPN environment is bases on RAS server following Microsoft documentation with exception that the RAS server has both netwerk adapters in the DMZ. This problem doesn't always seems to be, but many times it will. Connecting will be setup in an instance again.ĭoes someone has a solution for this so that the connection will be established automatically again? Log off/log on or restart fixes the issue and many times what also works is going to Settings - Network and Internet - VPN, there you go to the VPN connection and connect from there. The connection works as expected but in many cases the VPN connection will not auto reconnect after going to standby.
#LITEMANAGER WONT RECONNECT AFTER RESTART WINDOWS 10#
Hopefully someone can help me with an Always On VPN issue.Īt our company and some customers we have implemented Always On VPN for the Windows 10 devices.
