      Hi Guys

      I've noticed that for a road warrior connecting into my OpenVPN server the connection will drop after about 1 hour of inactivity. Is there a command I can use to prevent this idle dropout?

      I do already have resolve-retry infinite in my client config.

        Good question.  I have clients that stay connected for 2-3 days with no disconnect issues, so I don't know.  I just used the standard Road Warrior setup thru the wizard… nothing fancy.

        Post your server and client configs...maybe there's something different in your setup.

          I figured it out. I'm using TLS + username password, and I had auth-nocache set in the client config.

          After I removed that it was all good.
