It is not the issue with the ciphers of neutrinet.
Adding: data-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-256-CBC:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305, didn’t solve the issue actually
I had to add: data-ciphers-fallback AES-256-CBC.
When I run OpenVPN in the terminal with the client.conf:
sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.conf
2024-12-04 13:16:33 Initialization Sequence Completed
2024-12-04 13:16:33 Data Channel: cipher ‘AES-256-GCM’, peer-id: 4
2024-12-04 13:16:33 Timers: ping 10, ping-restart 120
And like this VPN connection is stable
My Theory. OpenVPN is working and making the job it is the app that goes in timeout and restarting entirely the process.
My question, why it is doing this ?
I did a dirty cron job to ensure that OpenVPN start first and always maintain the connection open.
@reboot sleep 30 && sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.conf
Now I see in the log of the app that there it is still restarting, but because the connection is already there the disconnection time is much shorter.
