OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello

I am running an OpenVPN 2.3.12 network with TCP protocol and 443 port to mimic https stream

After connection, I have random packet HMAC authentication failed every 2 or 3 minutes when receiving from Raspbian openvpn client thru a firewall . After each software reset the Raspbian client succeed to reconnect but again 2 or 3 minutes later another packet HMAC authentication failure occurs.

This firewall is filtering https url so i suspect my problem is coming from it.


( The openvpn server is running in a Raspberry 3 and working well with others clients ( Windows, Android) but another network without firewall in this case)

Is anybody an idea how to correct these random packet HMAC authentication failures ?
