Re: If we lose connection on wifi using VPN will affect when signal comes back
Can do a similar strategy on XP:
1) Go to your internet properties, Connections tab. You should see your VPN listed in the list of connections - at the bottom is LAN settings, which are the default settings when the VPN is not connected. Click this button.
2) Check "use a proxy" and enter random numbers (i.e. 154.457.54.48) and you can leave "bypass proxy server for local addresses" UNchecked. What will happen is if your VPN gets disconnected, it reverts back to this setting - which, of course, goes to a proxy that does not exist. So, you can leave your browser up all the time and never worry about your VPN disconnecting - when it does, you won't have internet. Once you reconnect to VPN, your browser starts working again (no close/reopen necessary).
3) Go to VPN settings and 'make sure "Idle time before hanging up" is Never and redial happens instantly over and over if it disconnects.
