      I have OpenVPN configured to use Google Authenticator for all my remote clients, but after 2 hours everyone gets kicked off VPN when OpenVPN tries to reauthenticate and (obviously) the password has changed. Is there any way to keep this from happening and allow my users to stay on more than 2 hours without having to reconnect with a new Authenticator password?

        I think I might have figured it out. I tried setting "reneg-sec 0" in the custom settings. I'll know in an hour or so if it worked. There's aa note in the OpenVPN doc that if this isn't disabled by setting it to 0 it can cause 2 factor clients to constantly have to reauthorize.

        Fingers crossed...
