mjq1602 0 Posted ... As I'm new to all this I'm still learning as I go. One thing I have learned is the reason for my disconnects is when the computer goes into sleep mode. This may seem obvious to most but it really didn't occur to me. So I have changed my settings in Windows 10 to never sleep mode and tested it over last few days. I'm very happy to say that everything has worked perfectly since with no disconnects. My only concern now is leaving my computer all day and evening on Never Sleep mode. I do turn it off during the night. Does anyone know of a way to let the computer sleep but keep the network active? I've googled this but not found the answer. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post
EdensSpire 123 Posted ... As far as I know that ain't possible since when it goes into sleep mode it basically turns most of it off which includes the Network interface so when you wake it up it has been unable to keep the OpenVPN connection active and it requires a restart of the OpenVPN connection.

You can turn off the monitor or put it to sleep, computers are fine with working 24/7 for many years. 3 RidersoftheStorm, User of AirVPN and mjq1602 reacted to this Quote Hide zhang888's signature Hide all signatures Occasional moderator, sometimes BOFH.

OpenSourcerer 939 Posted ... If your computer enters sleep mode and then wakes up after it, it resets the routing table on Windows. If OpenVPN was running and you wake it up, OpenVPN does not fully reconnect, it only renews the connection, more or less. This does not include readding the routes. I too had problems with this. Always disconnect before going into sleep mode. Quote Hide OpenSourcerer's signature Hide all signatures » I am not an AirVPN team member.

This is actually more healthy to the components than a daily power-cycle.The power consumption costs of modern era PCs are so low that it uses less than an average light-bulb, just to compare. 1 LZ1 reacted to this Quote Hide zhang888's signature Hide all signatures Occasional moderator, sometimes BOFH.
