OpenVPN Support Forum

I use OpenVPN UDP over SOCKS5 proxy.
most of the time it works, but sometimes it gets stuck in this state when I'm not using PC:

Sun Nov 20 01:22:35 2022 Socket Buffers: R=[65536->65536] S=[65536->65536]
Sun Nov 20 01:22:35 2022 Attempting to establish TCP connection with [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:10808 [nonblock]
Sun Nov 20 01:22:35 2022 MANAGEMENT: >STATE:1668905555,TCP_CONNECT,,,,,,

and stays at that state for minutes, the only way I can fix it is by manually clicking on reconnect button, but I want this to be done automatically. I want to give this state only 5 seconds and then auto reconnect after it, without my intervention.

How can I achieve that?

The SOCKS5 proxy I'm using comes from a software installed on my PC, I've already set a persistent route in Windows routing table for its server's IP address to go directly through my Internet using my router's default gateway, so it won't be interrupted by VPN connection or go through VPN connection again.

Maybe --server-poll-timeout can help you. But I haven't tested how it works on windows with TCP.
