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

[Daniel Z. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi Yegle,

I tried UDP as per your suggestion. It works for about 2 minutes then I got
"...backtrack occur [1]" error. From the 4th minutes got "inactivity timeout
ping-restart restarting" and the connection broken.

BTW I added keepalive option in openvpn.conf on server. In Windows Firewall
settings->Advance I unchecked this connection.

Hi Jan, I found in my Country there are quite a few expats are using WiTopia
which is also based on OpenVPN. So it should works.

Leonard, I will consider your suggestion if I am not able to get this done.
