Connection times out while unofficially tethered?

While I am using the internet on my PC with my phone's connection, I will notice that the connection will drop out after 30 minutes maximum of usage. I have no problem browsing until it finally struggles to load the next webpage for 30 seconds and finally states that there is no connection available.

I would have to then disable and then re-enable mobile data on the phone itself for the connection to work again. Its a quick and simple solution. But I have to keep repeating this and it is a bit of an inconvenience. I am not paying VZW $30 for their official tethering solution, I am unofficially tethering. This problem occurs both when I am tethered via USB and Wi-Fi.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there anyway to fix it? I can't complain too much since it is free, and I hope the users that pay Verizon don't have this issue.
 
Using PDAnet I used to have this issue once in a while.
I personally think its set that way to avoid sending red flags to your carrier.
