          When you get a chance delete your picture above with your IP addresses. People can be jerks..

          Use paint or some other program to block that in your picture.

              They're not yours specifically but close enough for some to care.

                  @akkiz said in losing OpenVPN connection every 20 - 120 seconds:

                  pfSense package system has detected an IP change or dynamic WAN reconnection

                  This seems to agree with the addresses you have pictured throughout the thread here. How often does your WAN IP address change?

                      Im trying to understand your internet connection a little.

                      What is it? DSL or fiber.. or? The ping time to the first gateway says that maybe the router is on premises. But fiber can be fairly quick as well.. Can you go to a command window and do c:>ping -n 2000 google.com and post the results??

                      My guess is that somehow your connection past your gateway is going up and down intermittently and causing the VPN connection to reset.

                      Otherwise the VPN server your pointed at may have issues.

                          if you are not using it disable ipv6 under pppoe connection: ipv6 configuration type -> none

                                      did you reboot the system after the ip6 change posted above?

                                      system > advanced > miscellanous > gateway monitoring > flush all states when gateway is down? what is that set too? i would have it unchecked as well
