Why does OpenVPN keep timing out?
-
I have OpenVPN setup on pfsense and I have a client that is hooked up with an ethernet, running linux mint 17, that connects to it. After about an hour or so (I leave things downloading/uploading then I go AFK) it times out. I have tried adding the reneg-sec 0 to my openvpn client conf but it still timedout today. I am using udp port 1194.
Here is my openvpn client configuration
dev tun persist-tun persist-key cipher AES-256-CBC auth SHA1 tls-client client remote ExternalIPHERE 1194 udp lport 0 verify-x509-name "pfrouter" name auth-user-pass auth-nocache reneg-sec 0 ns-cert-type server comp-lzo adaptiveive commented out the certificate parts

So….anyone have any ideas?
-
a wilde guess: in your OVPN server, is the setting of "Client Settings >Dynamic IP" checked?

This setting "Allow connected clients to retain their connections if their IP address changes." No it is not checked. I wlll check it and see if that helps.
