Here is how it happens:ġ) Launch Cisco Anyconnect (v2) and connect to my work's VPN server.Ģ) Launch automator script to connect to SMB shares.ģ) Open one of the shares to browse to the folder I want to copy to (the browsing is very slow and takes a few minutes to get to the correct folder).Ĥ) I drag and drop the file (4K in size) I want copied.ĥ) I see the progress bar show the initial copy info (file size and status of the copy which has not started).Ħ) After a few minutes I will get a notification that the VPN connection was dropped and attempting to reconnect.ħ) I get a notification that the SMB shares are not responding and would I like to ignore or disconnect them. My Mac's networking crashes when I attempt to transfer a file to or from a SMB share that is located on the office network. I use my Mac to connect to my work network. If it's a IT provided VPN please do get in touch with your IT to engage the VPN vendor.Īlternatively if allowed can install VPN in the VM with VM in Bridged mode.I have a 2014 Mac Mini running Big Sur 11.2.1. We recognize that while no changes would be made on Fusion or Apple for this, since it affects some of our use case scenario for customer we are planning to document this in our release notes too. We have already noticed some of these uses case and had an extensive discussion with Apple to understand if anything could be changed. The issue you are facing is only when the VPN is on the host and the VM is using NAT? We understand you are facing this issue post the Big Sur Update. Fusion 12 has made changes in compliance with Big Sur requirements and is using System extensions. What is the Network Adapter selected for the VM?
I understand after upgrading the Mac to Big Sur and VMWare Fusion to 12 you are unable to use VPN with the guest operating system.
