Viewing VPN Tunnels

You can view a list of currently established VPN tunnels. VPN tunnels are created and
closed as follows:

Gateways
A tunnel is created whenever your computer attempts any kind of communication with
a computer at the VPN site. The tunnel is closed when not in use for a period of time.
Note: Although the VPN tunnel is automatically closed, the site remains open, and if
you attempt to communicate with the site, the tunnel will be reestablished.
•
Remote Access VPN sites configured for Manual Login
A tunnel is created whenever your computer attempts any kind of communication with
a computer at the VPN site, after you have manually logged on to the site. All open
tunnels connecting to the site are closed when you manually log off.
