My PC is connected to a router which is connected to my cable modem. I previously configured a VPN connection that I only use to connect to my place of work.
Occasionally, when a web page is taking a long time to load, it seems either my browser or Windows then decides to try the VPN, and the VPN dialog pops up.
I suppose there must be some place where something is configured to go down the list of connections on my PC when a connection attempt is taking to long. Anybody know where this is? I’ve failed to find it.
Yeah, it’s there, but if I remove it, it’s completely removed from my system. I need the VPN connection for when I to connect to work, I just don’t want it popping up whenever a web page is slow to load.
Does setting it to “never dial a connection” (in internet options > connections) stop the problem? That way the VPN will still be there, but your computer won’t automagically attempt to connect to it when you don’t want it to.
