      Hello,
      We are implementing 2FA on OpenVPN / Pfsense 2.5.0. 2FA clients is failing the authentication that happens every 3600 seconds (1 hours). So I tried to increase the reneg-sec to 86400 (24 hours). It is not working. Please see attached screenshots. What am I doing wrong?

        Hello,
        I figured it out - I had to add reneg-sec 86400 on the ovpn config file on the client also.

        Admin - please close this ticket

          @shaw22 I would add reneg-sec 0 on the client so the server is controlling if you choose to change it in the future.
