(two questions for RRAS) Is there a way to throttle RRAS clients bandwidth usage? Some users losing internet access when connecting to VPN?

I am having two separate problems. I would greatly appreciate any input. Thank you ahead of time.



1) Looking for a way to limit bandwidth usage for our remote clients. We're finding that a lot of our users are streaming things like Youtube and Netflix while connected to the VPN. One of our theories is that this may be causing a network congestion which is slowing everyone.

The solution for this would be to throttle each connection. Limit the bandwidth that each client is allocated. However I don't currently see a way to do that with RRAS. Is this an option?



2) One of the issues we are having is that users will lose internet connection as soon as they connect to the VPN. It would probably be more accurate to say that the VPN itself is not providing a way to connect to the outside. Including the network itself. What I mean by that is as soon as they connect to VPN they lose the ability to browse both external (cnn, google, youtube etc) and internal resources. But this does not happen every time to every user. Some users are more affected by this than others.


Has anyone ever come across this? Any idea on what might be causing this behavior?
