Dis-allowing internet access through the VPN will make it very clear to them when they are on, and when they are off...

This is all setup nicely, but we see one problem on the horizon. While testing the VPN solution with a small amount of volunteers, we noticed the following: When an end-user starts a VPN session, a small icon with two connected computers appears in quick launch section, which indicates that you have an active VPN connection....Unfortunately, our end-user are not smart enough to understand that they have to disconnect when done...... And since we offer internet through the VPN, it slowed down my internet performance.... And people don't understand why their kaaza or overnet doesn't work anymore.... Is there an option that logs off after a certain time of inactivity or something, or other smart options??? Regards, Dennis Appelboom marviQ
