      I have an issues with my Nord OpenVPN client running on my pfsense box.

      Every few days the VPN goes down and I have to manually start it. I have configured the VPN exactly as per the Nord OpenVPN guide on their site.

      I submitted a ticket for help and they recommended I change from UDP to TCP. I'm not keen on this as it reduces speed and increases latency etc.

      I have attached the OpenVPN log from my pfsense. Can anyone work out what's happening when it drops?

      Thanks for any advice.

        Aside from the TLS errors, ultimately the client dies because of an auth failed. See here:

          Many thanks Duren :D

          I will try that advanced auth entry.
