Server Poll Timeouts for Some Accounts

[deleted]

I had an issue lately when trying to connect on the OpenVPN Android app. I kept receiving a Server Poll Timeout message although nothing has changed in recent weeks. Eventually, my profile was able to connect and has worked consistently.

However, all the profiles I have for my family/friends who travel with me are not connecting. They are receiving the Server Poll Timeout message as well. I have checked all of my config files and nothing has changed. Everyone is using their correct password. It just stopped working. I don't know what I did with mine other than try connecting repeatedly over several days and suddenly it worked.

Has anyone experienced this issue as well? Any advice?

Hello. This is usually a connectivity issue and not a problem with OpenVPN itself. Make sure your wireless carrier isn't blocking the VPN connection and also check that the IPs/hostname you're attempting to use are valid.

Hope this helps.
