Having just poked quickly at the code, it seems that "ping 0" disables the pinging completely. As a ping packet will cause traffic on the tunnel, the connection will then not be inactive. If it worked differently on OpenVPN 2.0, I can understand you are surprised. On the other hand, how the code now looks like, this seems to be the expected behaviour in OpenVPN 2.1. So using --ping would disable the - --inactive feature indirectly. If this was an intended change or not, that I do not know. But I'll try to remember to mention it on the developers meeting today. kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvQgrIACgkQDC186MBRfro6pgCfQPZWVzZ9mr1dILpcXQ+7AL2Y jhgAn3YTzamyvddqb2T23qVp0QuSKGt7 =mOC3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
