OpenVPN Dropping Users

ccoggins · Post by **ccoggins** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 9:46 pm

I am one of the users having issues:
OpenVPN is dropping my connection periodically throughout the day. It seems to happen most in the morning between 9 and 10 AM EST.
I am using Windows: OpenVPN GUI v.11.14.0.0

We are running pf-Sense 2.4.4
It looks like OpenVPN is probably version 2.4.8 but I could be wrong. I was not part of this company when this all got implemented.

Code: Select all

Wed Jun 17 17:38:38 2020 Note: option tun-ipv6 is ignored because modern operating systems do not need special IPv6 tun handling anymore.
Wed Jun 17 17:38:38 2020 OpenVPN 2.4.8 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [PKCS11] [AEAD] built on Oct 31 2019
Wed Jun 17 17:38:38 2020 Windows version 6.2 (Windows 8 or greater) 64bit
Wed Jun 17 17:38:38 2020 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.0l  10 Sep 2019, LZO 2.10

This is the error I am seeing in OpenVPN when my connection drops:

I did remove the IP's and Server Name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Let me know if this is what you are looking for or if I need to do a deeper dive into the logs.

See your server log

What i meant by that is, read your logs and work out what is going wrong.

In your case, the client timed out. Openvpn does not "drop" connections.

This is what we typically like to see:
