OpenVPN continious disconnects and finicky connections
I have been running OpenVPN 2/20/2015. I am the client, it doesnt alwasy conect completely. What I mean is it says connected but am unable to browse my file folders or mapped drives at work. This has always been an issue, disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, reboot, reconnect until it eventually connects.
Last week starting on Monday it started kicking me off. It happens multiple times durring the day. Sometimes I can reconnect others I am unable and must wait for hours. Originally it was the ISP provider for work blocking my signal. It worked ok Tuesday and Wednesday, Thurdsay it kicked me off and had to wait hours to get back on. This time I was told by our IT person that it was not the ISP.
What can i do to track down my disconnecting issues whether it be my ISP, Laptop or anywhere in between.

It could be a problem involving your ISP. Have you tried connecting from places other than home? If your problem is occurring everywhere you try to connect from, then it points to an issue either on your computer or on your work's network, both of which would require you to work with your IT person. If the problem is only from hotels, then it's most likely the hotel's security mechanisms messing you up (and this isn't an uncommon issue either).

I will do that when time permits. I work from home and have a couple other places i can go with different ISPs.
