Hi,

I'm using OpenVPN Client to connect with AWS VPN. I have enabled inactive flag in the certificate but i get this error in the client log.
exception parsing inactive: number_parse_exception: inactive bytes


this is inactive flag configuration in the ovpn configuration file
inactive 900 [500]
this is the documentation link which i followed.
https://openvpn.net/community-resources ... envpn-2-4/

OpenVPN Client version:
3.3.6
Reason: We wanted our client VPN to get disconnected if they are inactive.

The square brackets are a syntax, which mean the parameter is optional. They are not literal to the command.
