OpenVPN tunnel suddenly stops to work
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 4:55 pm
Hi, All,
I would appreciate if you could help me with the following issue:
I try to make an openvpn tunnel from my linux system to one of vpngate servers.
When my openvpn client connects to server all seems to work fine as expected.
I can ping whatever, surf the web through the tunnel and so on.
After a small time of inactivity (5-10 minutes) my side stops to receive reply packets in the tunnel, but I still can see dhcp broadcasts from 10.211.254.254. Openvpn connection still alive and I can see periodic TLS soft resets in the log.
In such a case I have tried to ping 10.211.254.254, 8.8.8.8 and any other addresses with no success.
tcpdump shows my outgoing packets, and no packets come back to me from tunnel.
When I disconnect from vpngate server ang reconnect again, all starts to work fine again.
I have tried different vpngate servers and has same issue with all of them.
