Need you assistance on the ping-exit and ping-timer-rem commands. At the moment the .conf looks like that (copy pasting the important bits)
Code: Select all
persist-tun
nobind
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth MD5
ping 5
ping-exit 60
ping-timer-rem
explicit-exit-notify 2
script-security 2
remote-cert-tls server
route-delay 5
tun-mtu 1500
fragment 1300
mssfix 1300
verb 4
comp-lzo
I know that the problem lies on the 3 ping commands but is there any way of "forcing" the VPN tunnel to re-establish automatically if activity is detected again?
If not I guess the solution would be to increase the ping to >25secs (my VPN tunnel is pretty stable) and then the ping-exit command to >900000 (around 10 days) but I would not like to put too much strain on the VPN server.
Also can you please clarify what the ping-timer-rem command does and lastly what if I remove all 3 lines?
Thanks
