Sophos site to site VPN changes take long to apply, changes dont apply

Hi All - ive had this issue for over 2-3 years now - when trying to make changes on site to site vpns - either the changes take long to apply, dont apply or need to apply several times.

i try to change local ID for example on an existing site to site vpn - after making the change and clicking save - it takes 1-2 minutes then tells me changes not applied either my connection dropped or connection issue, i click site to site vpn again and go to the vpn tat i changed, and no changes applied - will need to do this 3-4 times. I also find just clicking on status form green to red will still show green then 10 minutes later, the VPN is down and disabled.

anyone else had this?
