Problem with Azure VPN Point-to-site
So... We continued our troubleshooting with Microsoft Support since we reported the same issue in 2 other environments and I can happily inform that after another month of tracing and investigation of the NCSI logs we were presented with the following solution:
Symptom:
While on P2S VPN, client machines report connectivity loss but browsing and DNS still work.Cause:
According to the NCSI trace, the DNS probe was not using proxy but going Direct instead.Resolution:
Enabled the Specify Global DNS via Registry Key which seems to have solved the problem for now.Registry Key modified: RegPath: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator
RegKey: UseGlobalDns=1
Type: DWORD
We are now running this with three different environments/customers and we have zero reported issues from the when now working over Azure VPN.
Case closed!
