Are you using Android or iOS? There seems to be flakiness on iOS8 where the VPN gets disconnected during a change between WiFi and Cellular, or if the device is locked.

I'm using android.

The VPN can drop out when I change networks, but it reconnects in less than a single second under good conditions, and that's not an exaggeration. I use a plain ipsec xauth VPN.

Having tried both ipsec with l2tp and openvpn SSL VPN, ipsec is the only one I can get to reconnect in under a second. All the others take at least 5 seconds to complete a handshake.
