Client VPN is closing its connection randomly
-
@jonny-b74 Well, unfortunately I don't know either..
If it works in Windows, and not in pfsense, maybe there is a difference in the openvpn version, or maybe you are not importing all the .opvn settings to pfsense..
I would edit the .opvn file in Windows, and try to configure exactly as it is in the pfsense, are you using the custom options in pfsense?
Edit: You can set a higher debug level in the openvpn configuration to see more details about the problem

I am using the settings from their config file and many combinations as such,
I have edited the config.ovpn in pfsense directly and pasted the entire config file in there run the openvpn daemon manually in shellhere are their settings
reneg-sec 0
persist-tun
persist-key
ping 5
ping-exit 30
comp-lzo no
remote-random
remote-cert-tls server
auth-nocache
route-metric 1
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth sha512Edit: tired with debug level 11 in openvpn pfsense not more details only the extra around the close time was was the SSL alert (write): warning: close notify

Interfaces
Firewalls
NAT

The guide was all inside the pfsense GUI, no need to replace .opvn files in the pfsense..SSL alert (write): warning: close notify
I just read a little about this error but so far I can't reach any conclusion about it, not even sure if this is really an error..

@jonny-b74 Regarding your firewall rules, NAT and interface images, can't see any problems there.
If you had a problem there, it wouldn't work.. You are browsing for 20 minutes, so it's not the NAT, rules and the interface..1 - I would ask them a guide to pfsense, or the logs of your connection dropping..
2 - I would try to configure everything through the GUI, using the options available, and the rest I would use the custom options field.This is all I can think at this moment.. Already started to drink a beer here hehehe

windscribe, proton works for me too, unfortunately i put money down towards vpnunlimited/keepsolidSSL alert (write): warning: close notify

I'm saying this because usually pfsense overwrites everything you change through the CLI with the GUI configuration.
But I don't know if this happens to .ovpn file..
