Q: vnc over Mac vpn unstable

I am using an El Capitan server VPN service to connect to my corporate network.  Once the vpn is started, I start an VNC connection through the vpn using the standard builtin mac client.  It seems to work well at the beginning, but it hangs often and I have to restart the connexion.  The connexion will work between a few seconds to a few minutes without any problem and then simply hangs.

 

If I tunnel through the same server using ssh -l, the VNC connexion will last as long as I want.

 

Other than that, VPN seems to work pretty well.  Nothing gets logged on the server. 

 

Has any one any idea what could cause that missbehaviour ?

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Server
