Why the latest rather than a prior stable if you are having problems? Basic debugging practice is to alter one variable at a time from the last known working configuration.
- same issue, OpenVPN doesn't respond aftrer in production for a
day..I don't see any log activity that stands out..note, I am using TCP instead of UDP..
Why? UDP is more tested
- only reboot is fixing this issue..
What does high logging under openvpn, or a tcpdump trace listing for traffic only on your communication port show?
- anyone successfully using OpenVPN on RedhatEnterprise 3.x or any
clones of it with out any
I use OpenVPN extensively, on Centos-3 series hosts, and have no problems. It may be useful to build from the files at: ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/openvpn/ - and - ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/lzo/
which are known to produce a stable and functional VPN mesh
Good luck
