Micksen45 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hi there, so I have my Hybrid VPN set up to play warzone. However, after like 12-24 hours and my console turned off, the vpn connection says "Connection failed" so I have to disable and then enable the vpn connection. Is there any fix to it, as a hidden "reconnect if connection fails" toggle or something? I pretty much have to do it every time I turn on my console to ensure its connected, which is kind of annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 5, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2022 I suspect this is happening because after an extended period of inactivity either the VPN provider or HybridVPN terminates the connection - it's likely the VPN provider freeing up bandwidth for active users. You can try adding: keepalive 10 30 to the config to see if that can sustain the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it at the end of some commands in the config and inbetween, but connection failed. Thats the config I am using Using surfshark vpn by the way ng-lag.prod.surfshark.comsurfshark_openvpn_tcp.ovpn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 18, 2022 I think it's just the service or the VPN feature disconnecting due to inactivity so you may not be able to get around that even by changing provider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micksen45 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 You are right. Tried out NordVPN config and is does exactly the same. Then I just need to enable it everytime before I play. Its annoying but could be worse. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
