I realize this is more of a Viscosity issue but I'd like to pose it here as it impacts the pfSense OpenVPN implementation in a way that I wouldn't expect.

Openvpn

I have a customer that has been running OpenVPN on a virtualized pfSense instance for many years virtually issue free.
At the moment they're running 2.3.4p1 in a 64-bit instance on a 100Mbps fiber line. Most of their users use the OpenVPN client on their home computers for RDP sessions to their in-office desktops. The company has purchased copies of Viscosity to give out to a handful of OSX users.
pfSense is paired with Duo for two-factor authentication and there is a local Duo proxy running that pulls authentication from Active Directory before handing the result off to Duo.
If the Viscosity user gets disconnected for any reason, Viscosity attempts to reconnect automatically. It is actually set not to reconnect automatically but that's an issue I can approach SparkLabs about later.
My issue is that when Viscosity does it's 10 re-connection attempts once per minute, any other users who are already connected to OpenVPN are disconnected and cannot reconnect until that Viscosity client abandons it's attempt to reconnect. Running through the 10 connections of course involves the user missing or ignoring the Duo notifications on their mobile but the disconnects generally happen within the first 2 re-connection attempts. We have disabled client-side caching on Windows clients so auto-reconnecting is only an issue with Viscosity clients.

I've confirmed this issue in testing with Viscosity v1.7.3 and 1.7.4.

Weather 2 0 – a beautiful weather tool. While I agree that this is not entirely pfSense or OpenVPN issue, I believe that the fact that the Viscosity client is able to do something to disconnect other users simply via an automated reconnect is a little concerning.

Has anyone else experienced a single client being able to seemingly swamp OpenVPN like this?
