OpenVPN - Inactivity Timeout (--ping-restart), restarting

[saeed_k]

Dear All,

I am using OpenVPN to connect to my office network. It's working perfectly from 5-6 month but suddenly from 2 days it's not able to work.

It's got connected but then disconnecting. below is the log that I can see. (Inactivity Timeout (--ping-restart), restarting)

Can any one guide what will be the issue. I have tried it from 4-5 different networks. But not able to workout.

I have the same problem. Openvpn client connects then after 5mins there is an inactivity timeout, it tries to reconnect and fails with a TLS error. Anyone any ideas?

[help_me_please]

I resolved my problem - this was due to an IP clash. The destination and source network IP was the same (192.168.0.X) Once I changed the destintion it all worked.
