Hello everyone. I have a question: When using SoftEther-Bridger Layer 2 bridging with a local virtual network adapter, my computer experiences a brief internet disconnection of 10-15 seconds before resuming normal operation. I've tested this with different Windows versions, and the problem occurs on all of them. Some computers disconnect within a few minutes, while others disconnect after 15 minutes.

You have created a network loop. Don't test it with a VPN client on default settings and the same LAN or VM host.
