[SOLVED] OpenVPN timeout

[romain]

Hello there,

I have a strange behaviour with the openvpn (connection from windows openvpn gui).

When I use it and after some time, I got plenty of timeout. If I wait few seconds it came back for few minutes.

I tested from differente locations and my internet connection is working even during the timeout.

I can't see anything on the firewall side and on the log. I restart sometimes the process openvpn and it works again for few minutes (sometimes 5, sometimes 30).

Do you have any idea of what's going on ?

I'm on the opnsense 15.7.16.

Thank you.

How do you measure timeouts?

Through a continue ping to one of my internal IP. I connect to my servers through rdp and during the timeout period I lost all access to its.

This is quite strange and totally randomly.  When I reboot the service,  it can work for few minutes to some hours before having these timeout periods.

All good. I rebooted the firewall (the whole machine) and it seems to be better. thx
