OS X Mavericks VPN connection

Hello,

When using the default VPN (type Cisco IPsec), my VPN connection drops consistently about every 55 minutes after connection. I did not have this problem under OS X Mountain Lion, it only started after upgrading to Mavericks. I have since deleted the VPN connection (that had been created under Mountain Lion) and created a new VPN connection under Mavericks, and get the same results. I have also tried rebooting OS (one more time after the Mavericks update), and still same results. I can't stay connected to VPN for more than 55 minutes, the VPN connection drops and I have to reconnect for another 55 minutes, and so on and so on.

Any ideas?

Not sure if the update fixed it, to be honest, but at the very least it didn't overwrite the files created in the process you described. I've now been connected to VPN for over an hour without dropping. Part of me wants to revert the files to their "pre-fixed" state to see what happens, but a bigger part of me says don't mess with a good thing....
