Hey welcome to the forum!

You will need to open the ca, cert and key files and paste their contents under the verb 4 line like this:

client
remote 87-1-gb.cg-dialup.net 443
dev tun 
proto udp
auth-user-pass
resolv-retry infinite 
redirect-gateway def1
persist-key
persist-tun
nobind
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth SHA256
ping 5
ping-exit 60
ping-timer-rem
explicit-exit-notify 2
script-security 2
remote-cert-tls server
route-delay 5
verb 4

<ca>
contents of ca file pasted here
</ca>

<cert>
contents of cert file pasted here
</cert>

<key>

Hi,

first of all:

thank you for your great job !!

 

Me too I have an issue with Cyberghost vpn and XR500. 

I set my Cyberghost Vpn the right way 

and everything seems working fine.....

until after few hours/minutes the Vpn active but with connection error

and as I use the "block traffic if Vpn disconnects" then I'm not able to use devices.

Note: It always happen when I don't use devices under Vpn, or they're off.

Sometimes when I return to the Hybrid Vpn screen, the left frame ( containing config ) is blank (!)

so I must remove all devices under Vpn (in the right frame) ... then set Vpn OFF and ON again then re-add devices 

and everything starts functioning again.

 

I tried with different servers and locations but same results.

Maybe there's a sort of inactivity timer or what ??

Any suggestions ??

Hey, welcome to the forum!

It probably is timing out if there are no devices being used as there isn't a need to have it enabled. Does it time out if the devices are used the entire time?

[faldan]

Thx for your prompt reply.

Mmm... Cyberghost don't mention any timeout.

When I use cyberghost app in my mobile phone or tablet I never get disconnected even if the phone or tablet are off. 

Is there a hidden feature in Duma about it? Something about time out or a bit sender like 'staying alive'?

Add --inactive 0 to the config and see if that prevents it being disconnected.

Hi,

sorry for the delay... I've been very busy.

Now I'm back to test disconnection for inactivity in my OPENVPN config.

and......Maybe I found the solution !!

I changed :  "ping-exit 60" line  with : "ping-reconnect 60"

And everything now seems to work fine !!

thanks for you support !

and Congrats to me ! 😅
