Hi,
I have an OpenVPN connection set up within a standard jail. I then have some firewall rules that mean the jail will only connect if the VPN is up.
When it connects, it's perfect - fast, no issues with the rules or connections.
However, it'll randomly decide it doesn't want to work anymore for a while, so I can't ping anything (have tried IPs and DNS names) or connect to anything.
In ifconfig, it'll still show tun0 as being up, with an address, so no issues there.
I'm not too sure where to start with this one. I have tried multiple different servers from my VPN provider, so I don't think it's their end.
Any ideas?
FreeNAS-9.10.1 (d989edd) on an HP N54L, stock network card.
OpenVPN config might help diagnose:
Thanks.
