The downside of turning off DPD is that the client might not notice when the connection is no longer able to pass data, so you wind up with a "living dead" VPN tunnel. > Failed to reconnect to host SomeIP Normally after I see a DPD timeout, the reconnection succeeds right away and the session is able to resume itself with little/no disruption to the user. DPD timeouts frequently happen due to NAT timeouts or IP/network changes. It might be worth increasing verbosity and/or grabbing a packet trace to see why it is failing in this case.
