openvpn disconnect every ~2 minutes.

Post by tontonjab » Sat Jul 24, 2021 4:27 pm

Hello all, i dont know if its the right place to ask this, but... i am quite new in this and i need help...

I created a VPN server with this script:
https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install

it works... but i have a huge problem now:

I have 2 systems like:
uname: Linux klk-fevo 4.14.9-klk #1 SMP Tue Feb 18 14:41:02 CET 2020 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

Server:
uname: Linux ns 5.8.0-43-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 5 03:01:28 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Every two minutes, the connection drop. Like this:

Sat Jul 24 15:58:49 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.5: icmp_seq=28 ttl=64 time=43.9 ms
Sat Jul 24 15:58:50 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.5: icmp_seq=29 ttl=64 time=42.5 ms
-> DISCONNECT
Sat Jul 24 16:00:58 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.5: icmp_seq=154 ttl=64 time=46.8 ms
Sat Jul 24 16:00:59 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.5: icmp_seq=155 ttl=64 time=45.0 ms

or

Sat Jul 24 16:01:57 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.9: icmp_seq=359 ttl=64 time=18.4 ms
Sat Jul 24 16:01:58 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.9: icmp_seq=360 ttl=64 time=18.4 ms
-> DISCONNECT
Sat Jul 24 16:04:05 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.9: icmp_seq=484 ttl=64 time=18.8 ms
Sat Jul 24 16:04:06 UTC 2021: 64 bytes from 10.8.0.9: icmp_seq=485 ttl=64 time=18.7 ms

So, i am quite now to all of this.

You need to read the answers provided here:
https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-in ... ter/FAQ.md

If that does not help then try adding this to your server config file:

Code: Select all

duplicate-cn

I am really sorry for that noob question. I checked the log ... and openvpn already said: add duplicate-cn.
Thx you for the confirmation.
