OVPN Disconnects after Remote Desktop

Post by ananthakrishnan_ts » Tue Oct 27, 2015 5:23 am

Hi all,
I am using OVPN for data communication between two Windows PCs with 2 different OVPN Keys. For troubleshooting the remote machine, I logon to the remote PC using Windows "Remote Desktop" through the same OVPN tunnel. I am able to remote login to the PC and carryout my work.

The issue is that when I release the "Remote Desktop" OVPN stops in the remote PC, but all other programs are running OK. Someone has to manually start OVPN in the remote PC.

I have tried using OVPN as a service, and GUI. Both behave as explained above.

Please let me know how to avoid this.

Thanks and regards
Ananth

What exact versions of OpenVPN are you using on your server and client ?
(See your log files for details)
