Forcing Client Disconnect

[yangwes]

Hi all,

I've been doing much research and trying out different configurations on my own but nothing seems to solve the issue. I have the OpenVPN server.conf set with "inactive 60 1000000". It's short for testing purposes.

When the inactive triggers, the openvpn logs get the following lines, which seem correct:

Code: Select all

Inactivity timeout (--inactive), exiting
SIGTERM[soft,inactive] received, client-instance exiting

However the client side applications simply stop receiving all packets from the OpenVPN server. They applications (tested Tunnelblick and OpenVPN Connect) do not automatically disconnect. They remain "connected", but internet access stops working and no more inbound packets are received.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this intended behaviour? Are the client side applications supposed to automatically disconnect in a more visible/transparent manner?
