Conflict with VPN-PRIVDATA or VPN-CIS

If you have the VPN-PRIVDATA connection (or VPN-CIS), it is possible to be connected to both VPN-PRIVDATA and SPU-AOVPN simultaneously, however, SPU-AOVPN will effectively take precedence, thereby blocking your access to resources that require VPN-PRIVDATA.  If you need to connect to VPN-PRIVDATA, you will need to disconnect from SPU-AOVPN and set it to not Connect Automatically.
