Since upgrading to Fedora 17 I've found the need to reboot my Lenova x220 laptop every morning. In the morning reconnecting the VPN is painful and sometimes takes many attempts. When I do connect, my connection to internal sites is really poor. I've checked and there have been no known VPN issues on both my VPN servers. Rebooting makes the problem go away. (btw I have very fast broadband)
I've gone back to "Cisco UDP" from "NAT-T" to see if that would help. But I wonder if this is something others are seeing similar issues with network connections degrading over time. (?)
Best, William

Hello William,
I haven't read of a similar issue yet. Could you check your logs to see if there are any errors that may cause the deterioration?
/var/log/messages would be one to start.
Instead of restarting the system, try restarting network manager and see if that helps:
su -c 'systemctl restart NetworkManager.service'
If it's a network manager issue, that would help us isolate it.
