Re: [Efw-user] Gw2Gw OpenVPN disconnects overnight
Do both sides of the vpn use static ip addresses? What versions of efw? I have several efw firewalls linked in a hub arrangement, server to server, with all servers being located either across the state, or out of state. They rarely lose connection, but since most are running v2.1.2 and using the virus scanners, they do tend to require rebooting every few weeks. v2.2rc3 doesn't have that problem. Unless you've installed some additional software or service that wasn't included with efw, it might be best to start looking at your red connections first - routers, modems, or anything that's in between the two ewf boxes. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Efw-user mailing list Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user

A quick fix would be to run a cron job to ping across the tunnel. This would act like a keepalive. Just a short ping every 15 minutes or so would probably work. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
