Trust me…

As soon as that VPN connection is established, you lose your TeamViewer connection and have to wait for the client to re-establish it’s connection, before you can reconnect.

Heck, if you really want to get annoyed, reconnect, then disconnect the VPN connection…

Good luck, and happy frustrations!!!

p.s. you need to close TeamViewer completely and run it up again after disconnecting from a VPN, it doesn’t appear to recognise that the VPN has been disconnected, so doesn’t bother to try updating it’s session data with the TeamViewer servers…. BOOOOOOO.

p.p.s. I’m not 100% sure if this only occurs using PPTP style VPN connections, if I recall correctly, it also occurred with a Cisco VPN client IPSec connection…
