Hi,

I have several OpenVPN dedicated hardware servers on different 
datacenters with hundreds of users connected to each. Recently I've 
changed the client-connect and client-disconnect scripts to point to new 
scripts that can take up to 2 seconds more to run than the previous ones 
took (the previous script ran in about 500 miliseconds).

After that, a handful of the users started complaining about packet loss 
(too much breaking on voip calls, lag on ssh connections, etc) on 
different servers (different countries, different ISPs). I can see 
indeed the counters of UDP packet receive errors with: # netstat -csu
(the network cards are good, no bad frames)

Is it possible that the time the client-connect and client-disconnect 
scripts take to run can affect the packet loss of OpenVPN?

Is there any known bad practice of what not to do when writing 
client-connect scripts?

Are there other internal causes on OpenVPN can cause packet drops?


Users connect through UDP, I'm running OpenVPN 
openvpn-2.3.6-1.el6.x86_64 on CentOS 6.


Thanks in advance,
