OpenVPN - Viscosity Mac - Dropping Connection
-
I've had OpenVPN up and running for about a month and I've been able to connect to it using Viscosity on my Macbook. It works great.
I downloaded Viscosity to a second computer and was also able to connect to my pfsense by VPN.
I haven't changed anything in the config and now it's dropping the connection roughly every minute. I tried rebooting the pfsense box with no avail. This is the log when it drops:
Any ideas?

What mode is the OpenVPN server set to on pfSense?
What do the OpenVPN logs show on pfSense?

Dropping connections every minute usually means you are connecting from two different clients and have not configured the server to accept connections from multiple clients with the same credentials.
