Old issue "workaround" that might help someone, This happens to me as well on one specific customer. Probably a newer version of Open VPN would solve this problem but I'm "stucked" with what my customers uses. In my case I switch between working from home and from the office and my guess is that the Open VPN server stores something based on my my last successful connection and then when i connect from my other worksite, OpenVpn have to do soft reset every 5 seconds because my Outgoing IP adress does not match with what is stored on the server side. I tried most things on the client side via a lot of tips on google but nothing worked. My solution was to change the .open file configuration setting and set proto tcp to proto udp and try to connect again. It did not work in my case because the server side did not allow udp. However the server seams to have erased it's settings for my tcp connection because when i switched back to proto tcp and retried my connection it stopped doing this soft resets every 5 seconds and it worked just fine for hours. At least Until next time i change working-site. But then I can try this again as a workaround until my customer upgrades Open VPN Server on his side.
