Clients still show up on status.log after disconnecting

[markx]

I am testing my own openvpn server on a dedicated, and i found that the openvpn-status.log (or status and load-stats in management) still show client connections that have disconnected. For example my current log look like this:

Code: Select all

I have disconnected the clients with different methods, ctrl+c, killall openvpn, killall -SIGINT openvpn, kill PID. But they still show up on the server log after disconnecting. It's been 15 minutes or more on this last test and they are still showing up on the log (I've waited about an hour on previous tests).

Why is the status.log still showing up connections that are not really connected?

are you using tcp or udp?
