I've never had problems with OpenVPN before (at least none that were
not due to my own stupidity) so I've never had to set the verbosity to
anything above 3. However, 6 to 11 are considered the debug info
range, so you might want to try that and see.
The server is running OpenBSD 3.8 and the clients have been a mix of
linux/mac/windows. My linux/mac clients both run fine with an OpenBSD
3.8 OpenVPN server on another box. This box is not nearly as used, but
it is also much older hardware - but have never had a problem with it.
If an old OpenBSD 3.8 box runs fine while another newer one with the
same release of OpenBSD and OpenVPN doesn't run as well, then maybe
there's a problem with the hardware itself (Ethernet card, bad cable,
speed/duplex autonegotiation problems, etc.).
it seems that the server would stop pinging the client then...
Put the logs at verbosity 6 or higher and if you're lucky to might get
a message that explains everything, or at least might give some hint
as to what's going on.
In a new development I removed the nice setting today and things are
still really running smooth with the client. Which leads me to really
want to smash my head into the desk repeatedly.
