Add ping to hide.io config te restart on disconnect due to inactivity #126

Closed rubo77 closed 8 years ago

rubo77 commented 9 years ago

Without these lines on one gateway we got a irregular disconnects every about half an hour with the message

ovpn-anonvpn [_.hide.me] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting

this will ping

Manpage:

Note that since UDP is connectionless, connection failure is defined by the --ping and --ping-restart options.
--ping n - Ping remote over the TCP/UDP control channel if no packets have been sent for at least n seconds
--ping-restart n - restart after n seconds pass without reception of a ping or other packet from remote.

(I couldnt acieve this with any keepalive setting)

We could also use "keepalive 10 30", which reads clearer and expands to equivalent behavior. That would be a cosmetic correction.

I tried keepalive. but that didn't work. maybe keepalive uses another mechanism

According to the documentation, keepalive expands to the same arguments as proposed. When this don't work either the documentation is wrong or the observed fix is random.

rubo77 commented 9 years ago

I tried keepalive 5 30 which didn't change the problem, so maybe keepalive 10 30 was the solution, which would be strange?

sargon commented 9 years ago

I think the whole situation is weird, since suddenly we need to have such tricks to keep the connection to hideio alive.

since we use the berlin VPN the problem is gone, I will close this for now
