Hello,
I have a usg flex 700 behind a nat, establishing vpn with another site.
I can see that if the option in the gateway settings "fall back to primay peer" is selected, and it is set to 3600 seconds, every hour the vpn has a disconnection.
That happens even if the vpn is connected to the primary peer ip.
So I am wondering, is there a specific log that can help me discover if there is something in the middle disturbing it?
Regards

    WAN connections are verifing the connection status? On remote (calling) and local (waiting) side.

    Can you share the screenshot of the 3600 seconds parameter configuration with us?
    BTW, while the VPN disconnects you can navigate the Web-GUI path: Monitor->Log -> View Log to see if there is any VPN disconnection related log.  If so, you can share the log with us, too. Maybe we can analyze that for you, thanks.

    Hi @Hoygen83

    One more question, if the VPN is disconnected, does the traffic still can be passed via the VPN tunnel?  Or not? Thanks.

    Thanks for your update. Can you share your VPN-related settings screenshots with us?  BTW, while the VPN disconnects are there any suspect logs relates to disconnection on the Monitor log?
