Re: [Openvpn-users] OpenVPN connection reset after 4 minutes

[Leonard P. <lo...@ho...>]

If all you're looking to do is view websites with country restrictions on them, or restricted by country I would suggest setting up OpenSSH and using a SOCKS5 Proxy. That way you have a fully encrypted lightweight end to end channel for just the programs you need. (Web/AIM/MSN/Skype) as you see need for.
If you're trying to duck a government firewall you may find this works better as it may have scripts set to be suspicious of any connection that is obviously tunneling all traffic.

I haven't failed! I've only found 10,000 ways that don't work.

Thank you all.

Hi Dylan, I am very sure I am not connect to server on multiple PCs. The problem happened when I configured my home pc two weeks ago. Now I travelled 1000Km and try to configure on my parent's PC.


Hi Eero, the VPS is on ramhost.us and I bought Nano plan - Guaranteed RAM 80M, Burstable 128M, Disk 2G. Is it suitable for a OpenVPN server? 


Hi Les, it is 4 minutes of use. Once the connection established I kept trying to access some government banned websites and it really worked for a while. :)

4 minutes of use or 4 minutes of inactivity?   A NAT router or firewall

in the path might time out inactive connections.  If that's the problem,

the keepalive option might help.
