Happens to me with two different providers. Sometimes it’s “closing control connection due to missing echo reply”, sometimes it’s different (irrelevant parts skipped):

During the connection time I am only able to load about 1-2 webpages and then they freeze and I cannot access resources on the VPN network. I do not believe this is related to my VPN server as I am able to establish VPN connections with my Windows machines and Smartphones all day long with no problems. Is there a solution to this problem?
