OpenVPN Settings spurious SIGUSR1

[Harald Rudell]

Hi friendlies,

If one uses OpenVPN Settings with vanilla udp the app decides to send MANAGE SIGUSR1 to itself about every 25 minutes. This would be caused by a timeout, though there were no timeout. I tested both 10 60 and 20 61 timeout configurations.

This would not be a problem, unless after 11 hours or so, OpenVPN Settings get stuck in Wait. No communication takes place at all, and the connection has to be deactivated/activated to get back to functional state.This in a best-possible network environment and on various phone models.

Both those seems to be a defect in whatever controls the openvpn process.

If one would decide to run the openvpn executable directly, say using the Terminal Emulator app and something like

su 0 openvpn --cd ... --config ...

it works perfectly. No SIGUSR1, no interruptions.

Thanks,

H
