Using ExpressVPN server configuration per Express instructions for dd-wrt router specifically.
While using the internet there is no noticeable disconnect. Where I am being affected is while using putty to SSH out of my network. My ssh connection disconnects every time I see the logs below:
20190416 18:36:23 MANAGEMENT: Client connected from [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:16

When disabling the OpenVPN client on DD-WRT and using the ExpressVPN program on windows there is no problem.
This is the additional config options on my OpenVPN setting options:
persist-key
persist-tun
fragment 1300
mssfix 1450
keysize 256
This is the same answer I've seen for these logs messages I've seen on dd-wrt. I don't know why my putty ssh sessions get disconnected every time this message takes place.
Something is going on when this takes place where my ssh putty session disconnects. Maybe this month's new build will solve the issue.
