Hey everyone! I am currently running OpenVPN Server on a router and I am getting some weird behavior.
I loose connectivity to everything on my internal network for about 15 seconds, and then I receive about 40 seconds of uptime, and this repeats.
If you log into my router and look at the log you can see:
Mar 4 14:09:38 OpenVPN server: peer 130.207.218.196 (icsy8776) connected - local IP: 10.8.0.2
Mar 4 14:10:28 OpenVPN server: peer 130.207.218.196 (username) disconnected, sent: 159 KB, received: 61 KB
Mar 4 14:10:28 OpenVPN server: peer 130.207.218.196 (username) connected - local IP: 10.8.0.2
Mar 4 14:10:59 OpenVPN server: peer 130.207.218.196 (username) disconnected, sent: 135 KB, received: 64 KB
Mar 4 14:10:59 OpenVPN server: peer 130.207.218.197 (username) connected - local IP: 10.8.0.2
Mar 4 14:12:00 OpenVPN server: peer 130.207.218.197 (username) disconnected, sent: 4 KB, received: 3 KB
which will keep repeating
And if you are running a continuous ping you see something like this:

Which also will keep repeating over and over again.
On the client log you can see
Wed Mar 04 11:20:28 2015 [DomainURL] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
Wed Mar 04 11:20:28 2015 SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting

I know this was a lot of copy and pasting! If there is something else I should provide please let me know. I do very much appreciate everyone assistance! I really do love OpenVPN!
