Do you mean VAN or WAN? SecuRemote isn't designed to replace a site to site
VPN. However, the IPSEC keys will time out after 24 hours if the VPN
settings are at their defaults. That generally forces the client to
relogin. If increasing the IPSEC timeout also increases the time before the
drop, then that'll confirm it.
