Err 1

TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds

* Network 很 Busy? 否, GFW 扞擾就會有這個問題.

Err 2

... TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync: [AF_INET]x.x.x.x:1194 [0]

This message can occur when running OpenVPN in UDP mode, as UDP is not connection-oriented,

  so there's no easy way for one side of the connection to know that the other side has gone down or restarted. 

This error will almost never occur when running in TCP mode,

  because TCP enforces solid client/server semantics and connection-reset when either side of the connection goes down.

Suppose you have a UDP OpenVPN connection between "Client" and "Server".  

  If Client is restarted, because it is a client, it will renegotiate new TLS keys with the server, and the keys will immediately be in sync.  

However if the Server is restarted, it will not know that it must force a key renegotiation with a previously connected client

  because servers don't initiate connections, they wait for them to be initiated by clients.

The current solution uses ping/ping-restart or keepalive

which will cause the client to renegotiate with the server if the server is restarted after a specified period of silence

without any ping messages coming from the server.

The disadvantage of this approach is that it is not immediate.  

If the server goes down, it may take a minute or more for clients to recognize this and renegotiate new keys with the restarted server.

You can reduce the time-lag by using a small ping-restart value,

but then you may restart based on "false posititve" triggers such as short-term network outages which last less that 60 seconds.

In most cases this means that either the machine itself is sending TCP_RST packets or that an intermediary firewall is blocking things.
