Hi

Im using a GL-MT300N-V2 with a VPN provided by private internet access. However everyday my VPN disconnects which leaves me with no internet, I have to login into the router and press apply within the OpenVPN client menu and it works again.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Thanks

Well…it is PIA!
Been discussed on hear many times and final best solution was to use a reconnect script - mine runs every two minutes and I rarely, if ever, notice disconnects now.

Found it for you: 404 Page not found - GL.iNet

Sorry I’m a little lost, am I right in saying I edit a opvn file and add one of the following on a new line?

keepalive 10 60
pull-filter ignore “auth-token”
auth-retry interact

Thanks

You can try adding these to an ovpn file:

keepalive 10 60
pull-filter ignore “auth-token”
auth-retry interact

 

And removing these:

ping 15
ping-restart 0

 

However, in the end, I found the only way to keep connection up is to use a cron script. It’s in the thread that I gave.
