The client has three locations: Cypress, Texas – WatchGuard T125, 500 Mbps symmetrical Internet Midland, Texas – WatchGuard T25 Louisiana location – currently no firewall appliance Current connectivity: Cypress ↔ Midland: Site-to-site VPN Louisiana ↔ Cypress: IKEv2 on-demand/remote-access VPN Louisiana VPN uses split tunneling DNS for VPN clients points to the Cypress domain controller Current VPN authentication uses local WatchGuard credentials MFA is not currently enabled Louisiana users access resources located at Cypress QuickBooks and other business resources are part of the environment Primary Issue The Louisiana connection reportedly performs adequately during normal operation but regularly disconnects around approximately 3:00 PM. The current MSP performs an action that restores connectivity, but we need to determine the root cause rather than continuing the workaround.
