Hey!

You must have the verbosity up high in the advanced options for that connection.

Those commands are from the system checking the OpenVPN status for that server. Either from Status > OpenVPN or the OpenVPN widget on the dashboard.

Remove any "verb X" statements you have in the advanced options.

Thanks!

I get this too. Is this normal? It doesn't seem like it's disconnecting. My verb is at 3 set in pfsense but still shows this every few minutes.

It's normal for increased verbosity. It's the management client obtaining status that's disconnecting, not the OpenVPN clients. The status pages and RRD stats gathering is the source.

Remove any "verb X" statements you have in the advanced options.

Where exactly is? Have that one in my logs, but at vpn>ipsec>advanced settings all has "control" state,besides that have not relation to openvpn. All right, it was stupid to looking for openvpn verbosity here, but where also? :'(
status>system logs>settings - that section doesnt have any mention of verbosity.
system>advanced=nothing about openvpn
p.s. i have OpenVPN widget on the dashboard

I really suffered by paranoia :-\

okay look's like it's here:
vpn=>openvpn=>edit server=>go 20 setps to bottom. Treasure is here. I did change level from 5 to default (not 4, but default).

Thanks that fixed my issue also, I was wondering what that was.
