        Just to add something… It looks like the tunnel drop each hours for me ... When it drops, I need to restart the OpenVPN instance ... I'll post some logs later, Maybe I have another issue....

          Hello!

          Same for me - if I remember right - the problem started with 2.1.1 - OpenVPN-Tunnles crash on heavy throughput.

          openvpn[13066]: event_wait : Interrupted system call (code=4)

          Bye,
          eweri

            I'm still having occasional problems with bandwidth over OpenVPN links, even after applying the update to rc.newwanip and increasing my latency thresholds to 1000/2000ms.

            Ugh.

            I'll have to start digging around through logs again next week.

              Check if you have the same MTU on both ends.
              Maybe you should lower MTU a bit, perhaps the route between the two ends caps the package size, and fragmentation occurs, and it gets unhandled properly.

                What I noted earlier in this thread, and here:
                https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76975.msg426742#msg426742

                will fix the "event_wait : Interrupted system call". specifics discussed there.

                  I believe I'm also having this issue.  I was seeing the same Interrupt messages until I put in the latency fix mentioned earlier.  Now I see the below in the logs.  What I don't understand is why are both of my OpenVPN Client Gateways showing an IP address (that they should get from the OpenVPN server), and yet, both gateways show as down under STATUS>OpenVPN?  I'm running 2.1.4 i386.  Thanks!
