      Hello,

      I have been using my OpenVPN for a long time and never had any issues, now for some reason it disconnects frequently. I use RDP and when I connect, 30 seconds later it gets disconnected then after a bit connects again.

      I used the openvpn export to export the clients.
      My pfsense box is running on the latest version, no issues with the network. It happens on different networks, when I am on cellular or when on different wifi networks.

      Please let me know how I could resolve this.

      Thank you!

      Sincerely,

      Koval88

        Usually that means you have two connections attempting to use the same cert/username at the same time that are bumping each other off.

        Allowing Duplicate Connections in the server options can help there, but it's best to use additional certs/users rather than allow multiple connections.
