Just an addition: I already have these related settings in the server side server.conf file: keepalive 10 120 explicit-exit-notify 1 push "explicit-exit-notify 1" Since these are there do I have to modify the client's conf file (which I cannot do since I do not have access to that site)? I have to tell people on location to power cycle the router to get back the connection as it is now. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
