I got the VPN Config file from the Arista OpenVPN app and imported this to their machine running OpenVPN GUIv11.46.0.0 on Windows 11, OpenVPNv2.6.8
After this I tried testing and connecting to the VPN to make sure all is working as it should and started noticing the Inactivity Timeout.
This is the Client Log:
