I enabled debug logging on the server and every 2-3 mins, every client gets disconnected with the `MANAGEMENT: CMD 'client-kill 0'` log in the server output. I have checked everything but I’m unable to find what might be the reason. I’m using v1.29.2051.18 a86366 on the server and v1.3.3883.60 on the client

I tried using the OpenVPN client just to eliminate any client issues and have the same issue there as well.
