Hi everyone,

I run openvpn in TCP & tap mode.

at the beginning, I add

keepalive 30 180

and add

Code: Select all

verb 7

in server config. from the log, I see openvpn server has log message every 10s, looks like it's keepalive message sent in every 10s, but it should not, I set it to 30s.

then I remove the option

Code: Select all

 keepalive 30 180

, in the log, it still has new log message every 10s/5s, what happen here, openvpn works not as expected. how to disable keepalive or how to change it correctly, below is some sample log message. anyone knows that ?
