Title: Open VPN Client disconnects automatically
Post by: Ravisankar on Thursday 11 March 2010, 01:46:58 pm
Hi,

I have setup Open VPN server in EFW 2.3 Communitiy edition and it works great.
I have installed Windows GUI Open VPN Client and established connectivity with Open VPN Service running in EFW.
The VPN Connectivity is disconnected after 1 hour and prompts for authentication of user name and passsword.
It does not look like idle time disconnect as I was using the services behind the firewall.
Could you please let me know whether I need to change any configuration parameter in the server or client ?

Regards

Sankar

Maybe you can change the keepalive parameter. It's on:
/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf.tmpl
I changed mine to
keepalive 20 600
If it's another openvpn parameter, it falls on the same file.

Just restart your openvpn server after your changes.
