  • I've been testing this over the past week or so and compared to v2.2.90.1104 I seem to be experiencing more IPsec disconnects. Also, a couple of times our internal DNS hasn't been working and was resolved by reconnecting the VPN (I never experienced this with the old version).

    I have the old version running on another laptop and it has not disconnected when the new version on my main laptop has.

    I encountered the DNS issue again today and investigated further. I found that "ipconfig /all" did not list a "DNS Servers" entry. I disconnected and reconnected and the DNS entry was populated. This is definitely a v2.3 issue. I have opened a ticket and I wonder if the fix for "NCL-1383 Resolved behavior where client DNS value is appended rather than replacing previous value" has introduced this issue.
