Hello everyone, I made an OPENVPN server in FULL TUNNEL.
Now I have a section that I connect to through my iPhone, and every time it just disconnects when I lock the iPhone and reconnects when I open it and it doesn't stay stable..
And I'm trying to figure out if it's a problem with OPENVPN or OPNSENSE or my iPhone?

At the same time, is WIREGUARD better? I tried to configure it and failed..

@haim9080 if you want any help, you need to be way more specific. WireGuard is generally easier to set up for a site to site VPN or a single (or a handful of) road warrior(s). It offers a modern design, relies on PKI only, good performance. It does not offer centralised management, user authentication via external sources (LDAP, Active Directory, ...) etc.

What exactly did you do when you "tried and failed"? What do you want to achieve in the first place? Are you managing both the OPNsense firewall and the client endpoints?
