OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi ,

I have a problem with openvpn using it in Enigma2 boxes . I set up the box and the vpn is starting and connecting in the Openvpn server. But after some time the connection is lost and the openvpn service in box is unusable as i cant stop or restart it (like the tun kernel hangs) . The only solution is the restart. I use a lot of different version of openvpn and kernel . The problem is the same in diff boxes . Below is the config of the box.

client
dev tun0
proto tcp
remote ***************
port 55555
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
ca /var/etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /var/etc/openvpn/keys/new.crt
key /var/etc/openvpn/keys/new.key
ns-cert-type server
persist-key
persist-tun
mute-replay-warnings
ping 55
ping-restart 60
pull
float


Thanks

what is enigma2 box? if it has a faulty tun driver then you're out of luck.
Add to the config, reboot and watch for the tunnel to hang - does the openvpn log show anything?

Enigma2 Box is a dream multimedia compilation of linux for stb boxes . Affects all the boxes use that software . i will put the verb in config and have a look at log. Tun cannot be the problem as it happens in different boxes and different versions of openvpn (from 2.09 to 2.21 ) .

Thanks for now
