I would like to ask for help regarding my openvpn server.
my current set up is i have a server with two network interface. one is for public ip and one is for local network. i noticed that every 5 minutes my openvpn disconnects and reconnects.
here is my setup before
i have two servers, one for port forwarder(FreeBSD) with two nic cards and openvpn server (CentOS 5.5) with 1nic card. i set up my freebsd with public ip and local network. clients will connect to freebsd server with designated port that forwards to my openvpn server which is centos. i noticed that every 5 minutes, my client disconnects then reconnects but my internet is stable. i also read about this on google, i changed some of my settings like the keep alive but the problem still occured.

Hello.
I have the same problem.
Our customer has set up a OpenVPN server (don't know which version).
I have a virtual machine (VmWare WS 9) running WinXP as guest with an OpenVPN Client 2.2.1.
This was working fine, when the VM was running on a Vista 32 PC (WmWare WS 7).
Since I got a new one running Win7 64 (at least I think it started back then, but I'm not sure) the connection keeps dropping and reconnecting (with new IP address) about every 5 minutes.
But sometimes even shorter, sometimes longer. And sometimes it seems to be triggered by big data exchange.
I'm connecting with a DB tool (Toad) to an Oracle database and this gets a bit upset, when the IP changes. It's allways an interruption of work of upto one minute, depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes I have to redo longer transactions as well. This is really annoying!
This all worked quite fine some months ago.
Could the Win7 VM Host be the cause?
The network in the VM is usually bridged, so I don't think any software (firewall?) running on the Win 7 host should interfere wíth the network connection of the VM and thus the OpenVPN connection.
There is another post (from yesterday, 14.3.2013) in this forum with a similar problem.
Any idea, what could cause this?
