      Hey guys,

      Just looking for some troubleshooting help.  My office VPN uses AnyConnect (likely a Cisco FW) for VPN connections.  After 20 minutes, it disconnects, no questions asked on the dot.
      I assumed it was the NAT being too strict, so I changed the option to conservative.  The source port re-write was already off because I'm willing to accept the risk.  Scrub has also been disabled.  Not sure where else to go from here.

      I guess rather than just having someone tell me to search the forum for more solutions (which I feel I have exhausted), I guess I'm wondering how to enable more logging to figure out exactly why the connection is dropping.
      Connection is dropping with both AnyConnect client x4 and v3.  Endpoint is likely a ASA.  Last gateway was not PFSense (just something cheap off the shelf) and didn't have issues, so I'm assuming the connection drop is for a legitimate reason, and I just need to adjust timings.

      Any help would be great, thanks!

        So…

        After rebooting the firewall, looks like the issue has fixed itself.  If I had to take a guess, even with the process restarts and the session tables being cleared, it was not applying the NAT to the running configs.  Guess my concerns is that I'd have to take an outage like this for changing advanced NAT settings, which shouldn't be an issue in a home environment.  Thread can probably be closed, unless someone would like to discuss.
