While reading the docs, I noticed this bit: For example, --keepalive 10 60 expands as follows:
if mode server: ping 10 # Argument: interval ping-restart 120 # Argument: timeout*2 push "ping 10" # Argument: interval push "ping-restart 60" # Argument: timeout else ping 10 # Argument: interval ping-restart 60 # Argument: timeout So, while both server and client ping each other at least once every 10s, the server uses "ping-restart 120", and the client gets pushed "ping-restart 60" What the rationale of having both client and server ping each other at the same interval, but then use ping-restart with different timeouts? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netz | Netzwerk-Administration Invalidenstraße 120/121 | D-10115 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 ralf.hildebra...@charite.de https://www.charite.de _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
