Using a VPN can often trigger `sock_error = 10054` because the VPN's NAT device may not correctly forward the Splunk Forwarder's traffic. You might need to configure the VPN to allow traffic to the Splunk Indexer's IP address or use a split tunneling configuration to bypass the VPN for Splunk traffic.
