      Not sure what is causing me to drop off, usually after an hour. Can anybody help me figure this one out, Here are my logs:

      I x'd out the wan address info in my log information for privacy reasons.

      and my config file:

      dev tun
      persist-tun
      persist-key
      cipher AES-256-CBC
      tls-client
      client
      resolv-retry infinite
      remote xx.xxx.xxx.3 1194 udp
      tls-remote vpn-ca
      auth-user-pass
      auth-nocache
      pkcs12 setlab2-udp-1194-stormsedge.p12
      tls-auth setlab2-udp-1194-stormsedge-tls.key 1
      comp-lzo
      

      When this happens it keeps the ip address, and I can see it in an IPconfig, however I can not ping the server, and the user authentication screen to put in my username & Password comes up. Trying to troubleshoot this so I can get it working and stay online Thanks in advance
