    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    Looks like NordVPN fixed this. (?) I've not posted on this issue for months because I have not had access to the Merlin router... It's at a remote vacation home we only visit occasionally. But for the last 48+ hours I have been on-site here and I can report that I'm not seeing any disconnects...

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    I got a reply from NordVPN which was a little more encouraging. They said they were going to investigate the problem with a Merlin router they have in their lab. It has been 3 days and I haven't heard anything further from them. Will post if I learn anything.

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    I am actually trying a different NordVPN server now. Also, I am experimenting to see if this problem occurs when using TCP. Will post results.

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    Thanks. I have the same config except for the auth-retry nointeract directive. I'm not sure this would affect the problem I'm having, but I'll try adding it and see!

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    John, I tried the reduced renegotiation time on client side. Good news is this does preempt the server-initiated re-key and I ran about 24 hours with the client initiating re-keys - every 50 minutes. But just when I was starting to feel optimistic, the problem occurred again. With one of the...

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    Thanks... really good info! I will try the trick you suggested to have the client preempt the server-initiated reneg, and see if this has an effect.

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    Hi, new user here. I wanted to ask if anyone can give me some guidance on a problem: I set up an ASUS AC-68U with Merlin software for full-time VPN connection, using NordVPN. It basically works, but the problem is an intermittent loss of connectivity, always coincident with one of the cipher...
