anonnon 2 Posted ... I joined up a few days ago and since then I've had a problem where the connection is lost and the AirVPN client goes through a loop of trying to reconnect and failing. The problem in the logs appears to be "[server] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting". I can eventually reconnect if I exit the AirVPN client and disable then re-enable the TAP adaptor. But the disconnection problem returns after a while. I have tried a variety of fixes as suggested on this forum and others; such as trying different versions of the AirVPN client, trying the OpenVPN client, changing settings and configs, trying TCP protocol, etc. I use the Kaspersky firewall and it doesn't seem to be interfering with the connection. I was hoping that someone on the forum could help me out with this. I'm not really a technical person and I'm getting frustrated with the disconnections. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the log from the most recent disconnection / reconnection loop: ! 2015.08.21 12:27:29 - Ready. 2015.08.21 12:27:31 - Systems & servers data update completedI 2015.08.21 12:27:42 - Session starting.I 2015.08.21 12:27:43 -

Nertoslep 0 Posted ... "OpenVPN > All TAP-Windows adapters on this system are currently in use" is well know error but mostly it touches win 8/10 systems.For few days i have had it on machine with win7 64bit after upgradeing to 2.9 client. I tried move to 2.10.x, and even installing full stand alone openvpn - didn't helped.So I downgraded to 2.8 and problem is gone, working like a charm. Quote Share this post Link to post
anonnon 2 Posted ... Thanks for your help Nertoslep. So installing 2.8 might resolve the problem reconnecting. Any idea how to prevent the disconnection problem? I think the problem is "[server] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting". I've tried a few things already, but no luck. Quote Share this post Link to post
