Hi e-Zam. Thank-you for your post.

Under the VPN connectoid properties, under the options tab, you should find
redialing options. These options include the number of redial attempts,
time between redial attempts, and idle time before hanging up. Check the
check box labeled: "Redial if line is dropped." This should allow the
connectoid to re-establish the connection if it goes down for some reason.

One thing to be aware of is that if the connection is dropped and then
re-established, depending on the configuration, the client may end up
getting a different IP address for the new VPN connection. Some
applications will not be able to deal with this and will have to be
restarted.

I hope that helps.
