But if I perform a constantly ping from LAN1 and LAN2, then the smokeping output show the packet drop no longer happens.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">From this observation, it seems the tinc VPN connection will have some sort of idle connection and will be pause, and constantly traffic will make the connection active?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://ibb.co/jrkF4F" class="">https://ibb.co/jrkF4F</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
