Using Windows 10 to 10 RDP over Open VPN and Wifi, there are sporadic connection issues - I assume. The problem I describe happens more often when the Wifi connection is bad, but also happens on a very good (as far as I can tell) Wifi connection.
Sporadically, the remote screen stops updating. I just see whatever I saw last. Keyboard/mound inputs still seems to work, which I notice after reconnecting. There is no RDP reconnect screen, the tool seems to think the connection is still working.
There is no auto-connect or any sort of fix on the RDP connection, I have to maually disconnect and reconnect.
In OpenVPN log, I see sporadic errors, nowhere near as often as I have the RDP connection issue, so I would assume that it is unrelated, especially since RDP should recognize a broken connection.
In a bad scenario, this happens every few minutes and really disturbs the workflow.
Is there some setting that can fix this and/or automatically reconnect the RDP (noticing that the connection is broken)?

It's impossible to help without the OpenVPN server and client configs, as well as the logs from each showing the RDP traffic. Server config should be set to verbosity
4and client to verbosity5. Please anonymize any private info, such as WAN IP, DDNS, OpenVPN port #. – JW0914 – 2020-02-10T12:45:16.757Thank you, did not think that was necessary, since the connection is "obviously" broken. That will take a while to (find the time to) collect. – Andreas Reiff – 2020-02-10T12:57:38.053
You can't diagnose a VPN issue without the relevant configs and logs – JW0914 – 2020-02-10T13:22:59.077
