When a remote address disconnects, the behavior is somewhat different depending on whether OpenVPN is running in TCP or UDP mode. In TCP mode there is an explicit connection reset. In UDP mode, because UDP is connectionless, the disconnection occurs due to a ping timeout, which can be controlled by inactive or ping and ping-restart/ping-exit. If you want to run custom code when a client disconnects, you might take a look at the "client-disconnect" script directive. James
