Remote IT Support: VPN Issue Resolved

OVERVIEW

This sample demonstrates how I handle a focused remote IT support incident from initial triage through verification and handover. All company and device details are fictional.

THE CHALLENGE

A remote employee experienced VPN disconnections every 5 to 10 minutes, interrupting video calls and access to cloud files. The goal was to restore a stable connection without collecting passwords or unnecessary personal data.

MY APPROACH

Confirmed the symptoms, affected device and business impact.

Compared performance on office Wi-Fi and a mobile hotspot.

Reviewed wireless adapter events and VPN reconnect behavior.

Applied client-approved, reversible fixes.

Tested the connection under realistic workload conditions.

RESOLUTION

The sample diagnosis identified an outdated wireless driver, an aggressive adapter power-saving setting and stale DNS resolver data. The remediation updated the approved driver, disabled the conflicting power option, cleared DNS data and restarted the VPN client.

VERIFICATION

15-minute VPN stability test: passed

250 MB cloud transfer: passed

Video call while connected: passed

Reboot and reconnect test: passed

CLIENT DELIVERABLE

The final handover includes the root cause, actions completed, verification results, rollback guidance and recommended next steps. The related service link provides the current scope and price.
