RT-N16 PPTP VPN connect issue

[paulgj]

Hello,

First post here. Love the Merlin firmware .

I have the standard PPTP VPN server enabled and notice than the connect seems to intermittently fail. If I reconnect then everything seems OK after that until it disconnects. Is there a timeout after which it disconnects if no activity?
Connecting with the standard VPN client on a LG Nexus 5 android phone.

Thanks for any suggestions

Here is the log file.
