I'm trying to connect a computer to my Asus ac87 using OpenVPN but running into some issues. One of my computers keeps disconnecting form the VPN connection giving me error:

Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting

It'll connected for about 30 seconds and during this time I have no issues communicating across the network. Then the connecting breaks at that error message shows up in the log. I'm able to ping the server the entire time this is happening so I don't understand how its timing out.

I've tested on another computer on the same network and it has no issues keeping a connection with the same settings.

Client settings

Code:
client
dev tap
# Windows needs the TAP-Win32 adapter name
# from the Network Connections panel
# if you have more than one.  On XP SP2,
# you may need to disable the firewall
# for the TAP adapter.
;dev-node MyTap
proto udp
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1194

cipher AES-128-CBC
auth SHA1
comp-lzo adaptive

auth-user-pass
remote-cert-tls server
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
XXXXXX
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>

The computer is running Windows Server 2012R2, I've tried turning the firewall on and off but nothing seems to make any difference.
