Hello  
I am supporting a user and the vpn client keeps flapping connecting / disconnecting.  
The logs do not show a clear path on how to resolve.  
I am reaching out to Pritunl support for assistance.

Kind regards

Jason

Try switching the server protocol to TCP or switch between OpenVPN and WireGuard. Also lower the tunnel MTU to 1400 to verify if it’s MTU related.
