Hello plaisthos,
I'd like you to do a code review.
Please visit
http://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/1798?usp=email
to review the following change.
Change subject: options: limit ping and keepalive values to one day
......................................................................
options: limit ping and keepalive values to one day
A correct configuration should not require such large ping intervals or
timeouts, and an upper limit of one day is already generous.
Limit --ping, --ping-exit, --ping-restart and --keepalive values to
86400 seconds. Since --keepalive doubles the timeout in server mode,
limit its timeout argument to 43200 seconds there.
