I have an app that accesses the internal network at work. I can run it from home via VPN but when I do, it runs much slower. I suspect that it is getting timeouts caused by the firewall and somehow recovering. Is there a utility I can run on my machine to diagnose this? I'm thinking I can then request a modification to the firewall rules to relieve the timeouts.

    At work, you're likely on a low-latency, high-bandwidth network. When at home, the traffic traverses a high-latency, low-bandwidth network. It shouldn't be surprising that things run slower over VPN.

Running things via VPN is essentially slower due to the additional network hops and encryption.

If you must use a VPN, consider where the VPN is located (latency purposes) and the speed your getting from the connection.
