Hi.

My openvpn client (net-misc/openvpn) looses connection after 10..20 minutes.
Then I restart /etc/init.d/openvpn, and it works again. Found nothing interesting
in the openvpn log.

This is my configuration (/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf)
Code:

client
dev tun
proto udp
nobind
#user nobody
#group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun
ca /etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/keys/rosmanov.crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/rosmanov.key
comp-lzo
verb 6
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/userpass
#remote-cert-tls server
ns-cert-type server
auth-nocache
push "explicit-exit-notify 3"
remote example.domain.com 1194
ping-restart 60
log /var/log/openvpn/client.log


How do I make it more stable?

Thanks.

Is this a vpn service you are buying or one you've set up yourself or work set up?

I just changed the domain for this forum.

Thanks. I'll try with your settings.

We configured it ourselves for company staff.

Thanks.

It could be that the server end isn't set up properly.

I don't run a server but use a pay one, so I'm not sure what goes into that end.

Good luck


Edit to add: Is it losing connectivity while active or idle?

Is more than one computer trying to connect to the server with the same cert?

I'm not sure, but most likely it lost connection on idle.
Yes, I connect to the host using the same cert from different machines.

But, it works fine now! The connection is present for about an hour. I guess it
won't loose it further.

Thanks!

From my understanding, and I won't claim it's 100% accurate

You can't connect to a server with different machines, using the same cert at the same time.
I have read where it causes some machines to lose connectivity.
I don't use more than one machine at a time, so I can't try it out.


Glad you got it solved.

No, it's not at the same time :) I meant I use single cert for multiple machines(clients).
It still sometimes stalls. But it happens rarely. However, I'm satisfied with it.
