      Hi,

      can anyone please tell me a file where i can create a delay (sleep 120) for reconnecting the OpenVPN-Client? I receive an auth_failure MSG because i'm reconnecting to fast after my ISP disconnects me.

      Thanks for the help

      Greetings from Germany

      Steve

        Hi,

        did you play around with the "keepalive x y" command on the client site ?

        http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html

        # The keepalive directive causes ping-like
# messages to be sent back and forth over
# the link so that each side knows when
# the other side has gone down.
# Ping every 10 seconds, assume that remote
# peer is down if no ping received during
# a 120 second time period.
keepalive 10 120
