I have found the Connect client really useful and have been testing this.
one issue that has just come up is;
when being connected using connect for over 2 hours, all was working then Outlook displayed the Yellow triangle stating that it can't connect.
Restarting outlook did not correct the issue.
but re-connecting the Connect client fixed the issue.
not sure if it is a continuing problem, but will keep an eye on it.
My Connection Details are as follows;
Not a split connection (internet through VPN)
Policy AES128
XAUTH
Automatic FW Rule
