Can you please generate a proper openvpn configuration file and not use NetworkManager-openvpn? And then add 'verb 4' to you configuration together with 'log /tmp/openvpn.log' ... then provide that log file (/tmp/openvpn.log) together with your configuration file. The log file you provided contains very little information of why OpenVPN would disconnect. The only plausible reason is here: May 11 13:00:36 localhost nm-openvpn[23951]: [ovpn.example.com] Inactivity timeout (--ping-exit), exiting But a proper configuration file can easier sort out if this is an issue with NetworkManager-openvpn adding stuff which causes these disconnects or if it is a configuration failure or a real bug. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. As no further information was provided, closing as NOTABUG. |
Created attachment 583894 [details] (Slightly cleaned up) system log of openvpn connecting and then, later, dying. Description of problem: openvpn connects, but then has frequent disconnects I can connect with the VPN, but after 60 minutes or so, the connection dies. First the VPN no longer transmits traffic. Then, after a timeout, it notices that the connection is dead and shows the connection as disconnected. It does not matter how much I am using the connection. I've seen it die when the machine was locked (although IRC connections were running) and I've seen it die in the middle of a web download. I have an F16 box on the same network connecting with the same configuration and credentials. It does not experience this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openvpn-2.2.2-4.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: About every hour or so Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect to an openvpn server 2. wait Actual results: vpn connection stops responding and timesout Expected results: vpn stays up Additional info:
