Windows 10 - viscosity services stops at random
Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2017 7:27 pm
Hi
I've been struggeling with a strange issue for my VPN connection, the connection works for 95% of the time, I can connect without issues and the connection will work for anything between 1hour to 100 hours, but at random times my "Viscosity Service" ("C:\Program Files\Viscosity\ViscosityService.exe") stops.
When this happends it looks like im still connected to the VPN service, but DNS is not working, any lookups i do fails.
- Tried the newest version and 3 older ones
- Tried reinstallting my windows 10 machine
- Tried using windows server 2016
- Disabled Windows Defender
- Disabled Windows Firewall
- No other software firewall/antivirus is running
- Tried setting the windows service to restart the service at first failure, second failure and subsequent failure.
If i manualy start the service from the window service management console my DNS works again for a random period of time untill next stop.
I've tried googeling and searching your forums for similar problems but pretty much all similar problems seems to be when people connects to the VPN service, and this works fine fore me.
My machine is running on VMware esxi 5.5, using E100E adapter for the network card, no specific network setup for the host, just a regular standard switch which comes with the installation of vmware esxi.
Any idéa what I could try to find out the possible cause?
