Hello,
in my client ovpn profile I have 2 connection profiles. One for UDP, the other for TCP.
connect-retry-max
and
connect-retry
can be configured inside a connection profile. Reading the documentation I understand that both can be used outside a connection block (and would be applied as if they are in all connection blocks), or inside a connection block (in which case these parameters would be applied only inside the connection block).
However, this doesn't work for me. No matter where I put e.g.
connect-retry-max
, when e.g. the server is unreachable via UDP, the client will go immediately to trying a connection via TCP. if that fails, it goes back to UDP.
What I want to achieve is that the client tries e.g. 3 times UDP, and then moves to TCP.
below client config should try via UDP 3 times, and then move on to TCP and try 10 times.
...
connect-retry 3 10
reneg-sec 30
<connection>
remote openvpn.servery.org 1194 udp
connect-retry-max 3
</connection>
<connection>
remote openvpn.servery.org 443 tcp
connect-retry-max 10
</connection>
However, if TCP doesn't work either, it will go on forever and never fail (which is very confusing for users)
this client config should try a connection profile 3 times, then move on to the next (as per documentation). However, it tries 4 times: UDP, TCP, UDP, UDP and then giving up.
...
connect-retry 3 10
reneg-sec 30
connect-retry-max 3
<connection>
remote openvpn.servery.org 1194 udp
</connection>
<connection>
remote openvpn.servery.org 443 tcp
</connection>
can somebody explain how I can tell the client to try 3 times UDP, and 10 times TCP, and then giving up?
