      Open VPN is working great on my 1.2.2 pfsense firewall.  However the connection for my road warriors will Not stay connected.  Does anyone have any idea for how I can either disable ping-restart or adjust the settings to be more forgiving?

        I disabled compression on the server and client. This appears to have resolved the issue with the VPN bouncing.  I wish I knew why compression was causing the problem…it would be nice to have.

        I also lengthened the keepalive to 'keepalive 10 120' on the server.

        Edit:
        Thought I had this fixed...but it is doing the same thing as before.  Down every 2 minutes (hence the 120sec timeout).  Still yet to determine why the link will not stay up...even with traffic across it.
