My VPN client server has huge link fluctuations problem that's way VPN client server Disconnect now & then. I found some retry option link --connect-retry n --connect-timeout n --connect-retry-max n keepalive 10 120. What will be the best solution for me?

Here i must mention that I’m using openvpn

We would be better able to help you out if you could provide more specifics of the problem. I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you talk about huge link fluctuations.

Thnx for ur reply. I just want to say that my client VPN Public connection is not stable that’s I called link fluctuations. Client VPN Public link (IP) goes down 10+ times per day, that’s why VPN goes down every time. But when the Public link up, client VPN remain down. I think the problem with VPN retry related issue. Client configuration is as follows, did I miss any thing?

tls-client
local a.a.a.a
port 1194
dev tap0
proto udp
remote b.b.b.b 1194
resolv-retry infinite
keepalive 10 120
;nobind
user nobody
group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun
;ping 10
;ping-restart 10

cert /etc/openvpn/keys/client3.crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/client3.key

Can you paste server logs and is there any packet loss between the client and the actual server?

No loss between client & server.
