OpenVPN Support Forum

Overview:

One of the supposed resolved issues stated in the release notes for OpenVPN Connect iOS version 1.0.1, says "as device moves between WiFi and cellular networks, proactively reconnect."

However, it seems this functionality is not implemented or working in my case (and several others, with a simple search). I have not come across anyone that is taking this issue seriously, but perhaps it was not conveyed well--so I will provide an attempt.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Device connected to wifi and cell network
2. Turn off wifi
3. Check OpenVPN Connect and logs


Expected Results:

OpenVPN Connect gracefully transitions over to cellular network.


Actual Results:

OpenVPN Connect displays issue as 'Paused (network is currently unavailable)' with it never being able to 'un-pause' itself and forcing the user to cycle the on/off to re-enable.


Additional Information:

Device Used: iPhone 5 (A1428, AT&T Wireless, Unlocked)
iOS Version: 7.0.2 (though I've observed this ever since I've had OpenVPN Connect in iOS 6.1.4)

Could you explain in detail the steps I could try? I'm rather new to this client and it's configuration. -Thanks

The ping looks already set at '10' from looking at my initial logs, but I tried changing it anyway. Here's the new pause:

2013-10-09 14:47:49 OS Event: NET UNAVAILABLE (PAUSE): Reachability<reachable=1 connectionRequired=0 isWWAN=0>
2013-10-09 14:47:49 UDP send error: send: Can't assign requested address
2013-10-09 14:47:49 EVENT: PAUSE

I'm using a service (Private Internet Access), so how would I obtain that information, ask them directly for the server config?
