Hi, I'm having a problem with OpenVPN. When I connect to my server at home, sometimes the connections is lost after a few minutes. I can't find anything in the logfile that tells me why. I have absolutly no idea why this happens and I have not been able to reproduce the problem. It just happens randomly. Sometimes the connection stays up for hours (I use the connection for browsing, reading and sending e-mails, downloading) and sometimes the connection drops shortly after I connected. I use Debian Etch on my server (OpenVPN 2.0.9 i486-pc-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Jan 21 2007) and Windows as the client. This is my server config file: mode server tls-server dev tap0 up /etc/openvpn/leisink/bridge-add port 443 verb 4 proto tcp-server #proto udp cert /etc/openvpn/leisink/leisink.pem key /etc/openvpn/leisink/leisink.pem ca /etc/ssl/cacert.pem crl-verify /etc/ssl/crl.pem dh /etc/openvpn/leisink/dh1024.pem key-method 2 comp-lzo ping 10 ping-exit 60 push "route 10.4.0.0 255.255.0.0" push "dhcp-option DOMAIN lan" push "dhcp-option DNS 10.4.0.1" push "ping 10" push "ping-exit 60" writepid /var/run/openvpn.leisink.pid My LAN interface (eth1) and VPN interface (tap0) are combined in a bridge interface (br0). The bridge-add script: /sbin/ifconfig tap0 up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0 and my Windows config file: tls-client remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 443 proto tcp-client dev tap dev-node "Home" comp-lzo verb 4 key-method 2 pull key hugo.pem cert hugo.pem ca leisink_cacert.pem I'm using the same configuration on another server, but that one uses UDP. I have the same problem there. Sometimes the connection stays up for hours, sometimes it drops. The difference is that that connection drops about every 15 minutes. This VPN connection is used to play LAN games via the internet, so the client-to-client option is added to the server configuration. Anyone who can give me some advice to find the source of this problem? |
