Symptoms

When Network Access is already established and a second network interface is being connected to client system, VPN quickly reconnects, which breaks existing TCP connections. Because reconnect occurs very quickly, it might appear to the user that nothing happened.

Impact

Long-standing TCP connection may break, for example, VPN over Network Access.

Conditions

-- 'Allow Local subnet access' enabled. -- Client system is getting second network interface connected.

Workaround

Disable 'Allow Local subnet access'.

Fix Information

Now Network Access remains stable when a second network interface is being connected, so any long-standing TCP connections (such as VPN over Network Access) continue as expected.
