where put auth-retry interact ?

Atara

Good morning,

On a machine I was having a series of problems, after a while, the client stopped responding to ping, but if the ifconfig command was used, the tun0 connection was up.
When this machine passed by, it did not have access to the internet or the VPN server. he had to restart the service and reconnected, but after a while it failed.
Testing solutions online, lifting the connection with the command openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client/client.conf --auth-retry interact seems that the connection is maintained. My question is. Where do I put the command "auth-retry interact" so that when the service is lifted it will be applied? in the client.conf, in the server.conf or both?

Greetings and thanks!

authencation fo client so you need to add this line into your client vpn it should do the job

auth-user-pass
auth-retry interact

Thank you very much for the quick answer.

I use a system without password (I generate an .ovpn with a script that I pass to .conf) in this case the option auth-user-pass
It wouldn't be necessary, right?

Thanks and best regards!
