OpenVPN Connects 5-30 min, then "disconnects"

sterlingb88

Hello,

I've been using openVPN client provided by a seedbox company for over a year and have had no problems keeping it connected. However, I just changed to a new provider and when I connect to openVPN via my Windows 10 HTPC it works for anywhere between 5-30 minutes and then "disconnects". I put disconnects in quotes because the openVPN icon in the system tray remains green and says I'm connected, but my IP address changes from the openVPN server IP back to my home IP.

Here has been my troubleshooting steps so far:
1. I contacted my seedbox host, but they said it wasn't on their end and I needed to figure out the solution on my own... great.
2. I connected from my Windows7 work PC - Didn't lose connection.
3. Connected wirelessly from my Windows 10 home laptop - connection was constantly restarting, but my IP address never switched to my home IP.
4. Had a friend connect his Windows 10 desktop to openVPN from his home network - He never lost connection.
5. Connected 3 machines via ethernet to my router (Windows 10 laptop, Windows 10 HTPC, Windows 7 desktop) and all 3 machines lost the openVPN IP and switched to my home IP. All 3 machines however still showed the green system tray icon and nothing in the logs about losing connection.
6. The last step lead me to believe that my router is somehow involved in this issue. I logged into my router (Ubee DDW365 - from COX) and attempted to switch a few settings around, but nothing worked.

So I'm at a loss and have not been able to find anyone with my situation. If there is anyone with knowledge of what I should do it would be greatly appreciated. If you need further information or clarification on my situation I'll be glad to give it to you.

Thanks for any help!

Sounds like you have a problem with your new provider .. perhaps your connection is being refreshed .. you could post your client log at verb 4 .. but without knowledge of the server config there is not much we can do.

Here's the client log verb 4. Successfully connected at 10:28. The next event didn't happen until almost exactly an hour later. Then a 3rd event at almost exactly an hour after that. Does this log provide any information? As I was not closely watching my IP address, I'm not sure exactly when I lost access to the VPN and it switched to my home IP.

I followed the instructions and added reneg-sec 60 to my config file (see below), but it still didn't work. My IP changed back to my home IP without disconnecting from openVPN.

Here's my config file:

client
dev tun
remote 5.79.77.54 1194
proto tcp
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert sterlingb88.crt
key sterlingb88.key
ns-cert-type server reneg-sec 60 
#dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8
route-delay 2
route-method exe
comp-lzo
verb 5

Here's the verb 5 client log

Any ideas? Thanks again.

sterlingb88 wroteI followed the instructions and added reneg-sec 60 to my config file (see below), but it still didn't work

You did not read it carefully .. this option is controlled by which ever side is the lower. That means the server is using the default 60 minutes and there is nothing you can do to change it .. unless you have the server side changed.

I did read it carefully and saw that part of the manual, though I figured lower meant that if the server was running at 60 minutes and my clients was running at 1 minute, that my client would be lower therefore it would accept my reneg-sec command. So I must have misinterpreted the manual.

The fact still remains though that the vpn connection never dropped when I was at work or at my friends house on his network. It only drops when I am connected directly to my router via ethernet. When I am connected to my router wirelessly I did not lose vpn connection.

Does this not point to a problem with my router?

Like I said earlier ..

Traffic wroteSounds like you have a problem with your new provider

new router implied ..

sterlingb88

My mistake, let me clear things up. When I said new "provider" I was referring to my new seedbox/vpn provider.

1. I got COX as my ISP with original router
2. I signed up with seedbox provider #1 and had no issues with their VPN connection for over a year
3. I switch to seedbox provider #2 and am now having issues with VPN connection

I've had the same router through both of my seedbox/vpn providers.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now can you see why I think there's a conflict between my router and seedbox #2 VPN service?

sterlingb88 wroteHere's the client log verb 4. Successfully connected at 10:28. The next event didn't happen until almost exactly an hour later. Then a 3rd event at almost exactly an hour after that

Cause .. TLS key renegotiation:

Traffic wroteSee --reneg-sec in The Manual v23x

which is something the server admins have to address not the client (in this case your VPN provider).

Then, initially you say:

sterlingb88 wrote3. Connected wirelessly from my Windows 10 home laptop - connection was constantly restarting, but my IP address never switched to my home IP.

Now you say:

sterlingb88 wroteIt only drops when I am connected directly to my router via ethernet. When I am connected to my router wirelessly I did not lose vpn connection.

What ? .. I suggest you have a hardware engineer inspect your equipment.

Let me put this another way:

I have been using OpenVPN for years now and; other than some bugs that have been found, documented and are either fixed or are awaiting volunteer developers time to find a fix (not including OpenSSL), I have had absolutely no problem with OpenVPN itself.

As the most prolific support tech. here on the forum, I can say that, occasionally, we do see hardware faults which only come to light when people try to use OpenVPN. This is generally because OpenVPN uses such security measures that a faulty link in the chain often causes issues for OpenVPN that would not otherwise come to light with protocols such as http(s) etc.

We cannot possibly provide end to end support for your network links, that is down to the companies that you pay for those services.

Aside from that, if you rely on OpenVPN for your business, I strongly urge you to read as much of the documentation as you can, even go so far as to setup a test VPN of your own .. Knowledge is power (apparently) Good luck. :geek:

That's the thing... I have 2 sets of VPN keys, one set from seedbox host #1 and one set from seedbox host #2. When I use the keys from seedbox host #1 I have no connection issues with openvpn at all. It runs smooth as butter. When I use the keys from seedbox host #2 I have issues. So I feel like there's an issue with the way my router handles their keys. Something about TCP vs UDP? I was just looking to see if anyone has had this issue before. Seedbox host #2 provided very little support to me.

I'm very grateful for all the help you've given me. I don't think it's an issue with openvpn at all. I'm just trying to get to the root of the problem and have had no luck.

Anyway, I'll just keep digging. Thanks again.

Although there is very little we can do as we have no access to the servers (or the underlying network) you could post both the client config files .. maybe there is something I can offer if I can see them both.

Your issue with wireless vs ethernet sounds much more like a local hardware problem ..
I guess it could be MTU ? but if it is and Seed#2 don't want to help, all I can suggest is you vote with your wallet.

Typically, UDP would cause more problems with your local equipment if there was a fault .. TCP would probably just fail out-right. But if you are making large Up/Down loads over TCP-VPN, even if all the equipment is sound, then I am not surprised you have problems. (That is my personal opinion)

Why you should avoid TCP protocol tunnels:

If possible .. ask Seed#2 for a UDP-VPN (Recommeded by OpenVPN)

Traffic wroteIf possible .. ask Seed#2 for a UDP-VPN (Recommeded by OpenVPN)

I did this and they were unable to provide me with a UDP-VPN.

So in the end, would you say that it's my hardware that isn't handling openvpn or Seed#2 config correctly?

I ask this because both my PC at work and my friends PC at his home had no problems with openvpn or the config file.
