Guys, bit of a strange one this.

When I am connected to my corporate network via VPN and browsing Corsasport or facebook I get logged out of both sites periodically.

I cannot suss out what is going on, any ideas?

does not happen when I am not using the VPN.

Something will be causing your session to terminate. Perhaps your IP address changes every so often on the VPN?

so within the same session to your company, you will get logged out?

The VPN connection stays up until I manually disconnect it.

yes, but you are saying that you get logged out of CS/FB within the same VPN session?

Are you using your gateway or the companies gateway to access the Internet?

Your better off using your own router for internet, but to double check, its something like:

Right Click VPN Connection -> Properties -> Networking -> IPv4 -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Use Defualt Gateway on remote network".

Untick this and see how you get on.

Could be something related to IP or user agent changing, the CS session hash concats together a load of browser and client information alongside some salts and the original password hash so if any of that changes, your current credentials will be refused.

If its a big problem I can reduce the security on that but the issue is that saved pages will enable other people to quick reply on your behalf, hence why I toughened it up in the first place.

Also using the above suggestion you should be OK, in fact any VPN I've used required me to use my own gateway and not the company one because the company stuff was always proxied and locked down.

Built in windows or a client, such as cisco?

Cisco one does all sorts with your network traffic.

Do you have any idea what sort of network/architecture/routing/filtering/what have you that your www traffic goes through? If it happens within VPN but not outside of it then its something to do with your works network. If you are using the same pc/browser instance then its mostly likely out of your control
