    Problem connecting to internet with openVPN

    OK I figured it out by playing with settings. What changed from those screenshots: Accept DNS configuration: disabled Compression: None Custom config: resolv-retry infinite comp-lzo no push "comp-lzo no" I still don't get a public address but I can connect and reach pages OK...

    Problem connecting to internet with openVPN

    OK, no go. I tried with Outgoing Auth(1) and the same custom configuration as you, and also with my configuration.

    Problem connecting to internet with openVPN

    I'll give it a try. Do you recommend I scratch my custom config and copy yours? Other question, I'm a bit confused with dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8 vs push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" Am I supposed to do both? I've seen tutorials where they just say to do the former.

    Problem connecting to internet with openVPN

    Hi guys, I have issues when connecting to the internet using a VPN. My provider, Vanished VPN (https://www.vanishedvpn.com.au) provided me with a .ovpn file that I loaded as one of my VPN clients (client 3 as you can see in the screenshots below). Everything works fine and the VPN seems to...

    Open VPN client routinely disconnecting

    I don't know. I should take a look but I've set this up a long time ago following a tutorial so not quite sure how to check the logs. I'll look for a tutorial (unless someone can point me out how to do this). Anyone else have an idea?

    Open VPN client routinely disconnecting

    No luck. I have this error on the VPN status page: OpenVPN Client 1 - Error connecting - Authentication failed.

    Open VPN client routinely disconnecting

    Awesome, thanks guys. As an fyi here's what my config looks like now (what was there before was copy/pasted from a tutorial) setenv FORWARD_COMPATIBLE 1 server-poll-timeout 4 dev-type tun ns-cert-type server reneg-sec 604800 sndbuf 100000 rcvbuf 100000 setenv PUSH_PEER_INFO auth-nocache

    Open VPN client routinely disconnecting

    My provider is .... myself. I lease a VM and installed open VPN on it. Works like a charm and gives me much higher download speeds than any of the services I tried, and it's cheaper. As for rebooting, I have set the scheduler to reboot twice a week, Sunday and Thursday 2:30 am I'll try moving...

    Open VPN client routinely disconnecting

    Hi guys, I'm running a VPN through Open VPN and it works perfectly. Only problem is that the connection drops on a regular basis, after 10-12 hours. Hard to say exactly when, but basically if I turn the VPN on, I have no problem for several hours, but if I come back the next day, it's very...
