RT-AC68U - Open VPN Server Log File

[Bruce_H]

I looked in my system logs and noticed that it is full of these entries, only three days of entries and the log is full.

Mar 4 21:10:00 rc_service: service 30984:notify_rc start_vpnserver1
Mar 4 21:11:01 rc_service: service 31034:notify_rc start_vpnserver1
Mar 4 21:12:01 rc_service: service 31081:notify_rc start_vpnserver1
Mar 4 21:13:00 rc_service: service 31128:notify_rc start_vpnserver1
Mar 4 21:14:00 rc_service: service 31175:notify_rc start_vpnserver1
Mar 4 21:15:00 rc_service: service 31223:notify_rc start_vpnserver1

Is this normal, there are other entries about every hour that start like this (I have obscured the IP address for security reasons) The email address listed is exactly as it is from the log file????

Mar 4 21:09:24 openvpn[1126]: client/##.##.##.## TLS: tls_process: killed expiring key
Mar 4 21:09:25 openvpn[1126]: client/##.##.##.## TLS: soft reset sec=0 bytes=17625/-1 pkts=470/0
Mar 4 21:09:26 openvpn[1126]: client/##.##.##.## VERIFY OK: depth=1, C=TW, ST=TW, L=Taipei, O=ASUS, CN=RT-AC68U, [email protected]

Any thoughts on why there is so many entries or if there is some sort of problem going on; the VPN is up and functioning correctly as far as I can tell. I don't think that this is a new problem and has probably been going on for some time.

Hi,
Its not a problem. It was designed that way. Everyone need to read what is Openvpn and its available options. Read the manual.

Its your tlskey renego doin this. By default, the tlskey renego every 3600sec or every hour.
You can disable this if you want to. You can add the following line in your client ovpn and server.conf

reneg-sec 0

Thanks, I did a bit more searching of the forum and have now set the polling interval to "0", hopefully this will keep the log file from filling up without causing any problems
