Openvpn try to restart all the time

I'm writing here because I have two problems with my openvpn server.

First : It try to restart all the time.

Code: Select all

Oct 21 16:27:30  bastion systemd[1]: openvpn@server.service: Service RestartSec=5s expired, scheduling restart.

Oct 21 16:27:30  bastion systemd[1]: openvpn@server.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
I stopped it, restarted it, killed the process, but it still does the same thing, it loops continuously like in the attached logs.
That said, I can go up the tunnel on my side and join the applications behind it. Including an apache.
Which is precisely my second concern. I sometimes lose my connection via the vpn, a sort of timeout. Whereas if I test live I never lose the connection.

Is there a connection test time option that I should put on the server? (knowing that the vpn server is also a client of another vpn server on which the apache is located)

Thank you

OpenVPN server is already running and you try to start it again..

openvpn@server.service
This is an old systemd unit file, you should use openvpn-server@server.service

I stopped openvpn@server.service. It's ok. Thanks.

While I'm here, do you have an idea for my second problem ?

I set :

knowing that the vpn server is also a client of another vpn server
Every time your server connects to the other server then your client disconnects..

It's curious. I took over the old architecture (adapting the openvpn version), and this is something that never happened.
Once the tunnel was set up to the VPN server, it remained fixed once and for all and it worked.

Silly question, because I still have not found a solution and I have nothing in the logs.

Does the fact that the two servers are in different openvpn versions have any effect? Maybe the negotiation, I don't know, of ciphers, ssl or other could for a moment cause this blockage?

I suggest you contact the person who setup your VPN.

keepalive 10 300
= If no packets received within 300 seconds, start over.
