RE: OpenVPN support



Dear thaller

My openVPN config file is:

client
dev tap0
proto udp
remote <IP-address> <port>
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert name.crt
key name.key
ns-cert-type server
verb 3
keepalive 1 20
sndbuf size 20000000
rcvbuf size 20000000

Especially the keepalive line is important as well as the sndbuf and rcvbuf line.

Thanks
Pieter
