Thanks Jan. But if it's about network issue or firewall I have a

it's working properly. The problem system has the issue for about 3
hours and recovered on it's own.
I am running the openvpn version
root@x:~# openvpn --version
OpenVPN 2.3.7 arm-mel-linux-gnueabi [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [EPOLL] [MH]
[IPv6]
library versions: OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015, LZO 2.09
looks like an embedded device....
is the problem still there? next time the connection drops, try logging
in on the box to check for netstat statistics - are packets being
dropped (e.g. by the interface).
also, post the relevant openvpn log snippet during the
misbehaviour/reconnects.
As another poster suggest, adding
reneg-sec 86400
might "solve" the issue but all it does is make the key renegotiaton
happen less often. This can potentially mask the problem but it also
makes your connection (slightly) less secure, depending on which cipher
you are using.

In almost all such cases, the underlying network is the issue.
Check for
any network errors on the non-VPN traffic , comparing the
"working" box
to the "non working" box. Check for network cables, IP + routing
addresses, firewalling rules, both on the box itself and in the core
network.
