Windows 11 VPN connections drop after minutes

Found this interesting - we have a few people complaining their VPN connections drop often. I mostly suspected people's home internet connections as when I work from home, my VPN connection was rock solid all day long.

Fast forward to my own laptop finally getting a WIndows 11 upgrade (originally was going to wipe and start over but figured I'd upgrade it first). Now my own VPN connection does the same thing as complaints - drops super often ever since Windows 11 upgrade. VPN is Microsoft/RRAS.

Any thoughts? I saw there was a bug issue from last year with an update, but it was -supposed- to be fixed - was it?

We use a third party VPN that integrates in to 365 for authentication, the latest version keeps connected for 8 hours at a time.

We are using RRAS (Server 2019) and have may end users running Windows 11 without issue.

You're still using RRAS? Ouch

Whats the problem - its still supported. I tried for several years to get them to cloudify what little we need it for and apparently they want to keep doing what they're doing. May move to Tailscale/Global Access type of VPN but for now I need to fix this issue.
