OpenVPN keeps stopping on Transmission jail

[veronaz]

I have a jail with Transmission and OpenVPN running. Most of the time it runs fine and I am able to download but then it just stops. I restart OpenVPN multiple times and it doesn't work. I have to restart the jail multiple times and wait for it to work.

The error logs are

Code:

Dec  1 15:23:16 transmission openvpn[13637]: SENT CONTROL [us5042.nordvpn.com]: 'PUSH_REQUEST' (status=1)
Dec  1 15:23:16 transmission openvpn[13637]: AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED
Dec  1 15:23:16 transmission openvpn[13637]: SIGTERM[soft,auth-failure] received, process exiting

The authorization is fine but get this several times a day.

I'm using a different VPN provider and it never drops. I would recommend:

• Making sure OpenVPN files are the most recent from NordVPN
• Try a different NordVPN server
• Try adding this line to your config file: pull-filter ignore "auth-token"
• Make sure OpenVPN is up to date, maybe try changing pkg repository from quarterly to latest which will take you from 2.4.9_3 to 2.5.0 assuming you are using pkg

Thanks, I tried all this and still can't seem to have it working consistently. I might try a new provider, who do you use?
