      Hi,

      I configured an OpenVPN client on pfSense v2.4.4-RELEASE-p3

      Quite often, I lose the connectivity between the internal network and the VPN.

      I do not see any particular message in the logs (Current verbosity level is 4).

      The only solution is to restart the OpenVPN service and then it works directly.

      Thanks!

              Ton log :

              Sep 23 06:03:02 	openvpn 	31296 	WARNING: file '/var/etc/openvpn/client1.up' is group or others accessible
              Sep 23 06:03:02 	openvpn 	5052 	SIGTERM[hard,] received, process exiting
              

              Le process "31296" est connected - last news : this WARNING

              But then : another process "5052" receives a (local ?) SIGTERM, which means : the process received the order to stop.

              My questions are : who is process 31296 - and who is process 5052 ?

              Do you have a server and client OpenVPN ?

              Several system (pfSense) can restart services like OpenVPN.
              One of them is : unbound (the DNS cache resolver) - did it restart at the same moment ?

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                There is no OpenVPN server on this pfSense. And no other OpenVPN process than this client.

                The logs you've picked show 06:03, which is when I restarted manually the OpenVPN client connection. I lost the connectivity around 05:15.

                The DNS resolver is disabled.
