losing OpenVPN connection every 20 - 120 seconds

@chpalmer oops my bad

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.
-
@chpalmer Done!!!

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?
-
@chpalmer i dont think wan ip changes so frequently only on restart starting open vpn changes it maybe
-
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.

fiber coming to white box which is directly connected by cat 6 cable to pf sense box wan port using ppoe type connection with user name and password

if you are not using it disable ipv6 under pppoe connection: ipv6 configuration type -> none
-
@kiokoman ok let me see
-
problem still the same
-
under system >advanced >networking : network interfaces. is reset all states checked or unchecked? i would uncheck that
-
@bcruze its was unchecked only
-
i even changed vpn server location but behaviour is still same

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
-
@bcruze ok let me do it now
-
@akkiz no difference still disconnects......
-
@chpalmer i also tried connecting a modem before pf box and used dhcp in wan interface but the problem is still same and wan ip never changes
-
Where did you get all those custom options from in the OpenVPN setup? Most of those are duplicated in the normal settings anyway.
I don't actually see any errors there. The connection comes up and receives a new IP from the server. It's assigned so has a gateway, pfSense treats it as a WAN and triggers the appropriate scripts when that happens. You could disable 'gateway monitoring action' for now to reduce what is run there.
Do you have a conflict with the LAN? What subnet are you running there? Can we see the routing table from Diag > Routes?
