type VPN in the search bar in the bottom left corner and see what pops up. Windows does have a built in VPN client but that isn't really what you want. Also look in installed programs for something with the letters VPN in it. other good key words are Cisco and client.
Nope they'll just sell you some shit you don't want or need. Start by talking to whoever looks after the network stuff at the company. Chances are you will have to download something and spend half an hour fiddling, it shouldn't cost anything.

I honestly dont know what that is.
If your company runs a VPN to enable remote access to their services at head office, this will be access via a VPN program, or client, installed on your work computer.
Do you know if anyone else at the company is able to access the server remotely?
My understanding of this OP is that you are using a VPN but its not working on the sites you go to, does it work from your home internet?

Just spoke to a colleague, the previous IT install has been plagued with problems since it was set up around 7 months ago, thats why were appointing a new support company. If you're in the office its not too frustrating but out on site is where the problems are. A few of the other managers visit the office every couple of weeks to access the server & download what they need and then get any updated info pinged out to them.

Would this be NetExtender?
But you can access the company resources remotely sometimes/briefly?

Yes.
So your issue is either with the internal working of the VPN, which I doubt you will be able to sort, or the speed you are able to achieve with your mobile hotspot (possible if it works ok on a decent home connection) or potentially the VPN is disconnecting either due to the connection at your end or the other.
I’d test it from your home internet again and see how good it is. Particularly out of hours ie when others might not be using it e.g. now.

If the VPN connects OK when you manually start it, you can set it to start automatically with these instructions.
