Does anyone else have this issue and what is the root cause? I know it has to do with VPNs but what specifically?

Huh, I have a similar problem, except mine will often work in some places but not others. For example, in San Diego, it works in my room fine, but not in the lobby. For me, when it breaks, I don't even get a web page. It just doesn't get any access at all to anything.

Never knew about the VPN thing. I'll try that and see if it helps.
