nepdev I have OpenVPN running on 3 PCs using CentOs 5 (one server, 2 clients). Installation went all fine. Trying to ping the clients from the server shows an awkward behavior in that the pings will get responses for 120 seconds, then there is no response at all for 120 sec, then again all is fine for 120 sec. These 120 sec coincide with the "dead client" timeout value in the configuration file, yet this should have nothing to do with it. The 120 sec off/on periods however are quite precise and it behaves like this for hours. Configuration files for clients and server are below. Please give me any indication what to change - or is that normal behavior? Can hardly be. nepdev Server conf: port 1194 proto udp dev tun ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/ca.crt cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.crt key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.key # file to be kept secret dh /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/dh1024.pem server 10.75.75.0 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt keepalive 10 120 comp-lzo persist-key persist-tun status openvpn-status.log verb 6 clientconfiguration file: client dev tun proto udp remote x.y.z.d 1194 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/ca.crt cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/fab.crt key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/fab.key comp-lzo verb 4
krzee I have had this happen to me when accidentally connecting twice at the same time with the same certs, each knocks the other off. Otherwise it could be your firewall
