It tests the availability of a VPN-Connection over more then 24 hours

There is one solution given in thread which discusses about starting a
VPN from code using a RAS connection (IntelliProg components used)

using OpenNETCF.Net;
namespace Example{
    class VPN
    {
      public Boolean connect()
      {
        try
        {
          ConnectionManager NetCon = new ConnectionManager();
          ConnectionDetailCollection NetConDetColl = NetCon.GetConnectionDetailItems() ;
          ConnectionDetail NetConDet = null;
          foreach (ConnectionDetail cd in NetConDetColl)
          {
            if ((cd.ConnectionType == ConnectionType.VPN) &&
            (cd.ConnectionSubType == ConnectionSubType.PPTP))
            {
              NetConDet = cd;
              break;
            }
          }

          if (NetConDet == null)
            throw new Exception("No VPN network configured");

          NetCon.Connect(NetConDet.DestinatonNetwork, true,
          ConnectionMode.Synchronous);// Asynchronous);

          return true;
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
          return false;
        }
        finally
        {

        }

      }
    }
