Hi BGy,
You're welcome! :) I'm glad you have configured L2TP/IPsec successfully and it seems this works best for you.

Version is 4.3.4-2. I tried continous ping test: when RDP freeze, I no longer can ping 192.168.50.100 or any machine in the remote network.
I guess stability depends on the traffic. I left alone my machine after establishing VPN connection. After 2 hours, it was still connected but when I opened RDP it freezed after some second.

Hi BGy,
How many users are connecting via PPTP? Note that the FVS336Gv3 has a maximum of 25 simultaneous PPTP user sessions only.
What authentication are you using? You can probably lower it to PAP only.
You could also consider using L2TP as it has about double the throughput over PPTP VPN. It might help the connection.
PPTP has around 6.5 Mbps while L2TP has 11-13 Mbps.
