Issue

When connecting to the VPN using the OpenVPN app on Android, the battery drains quickly. This still happens when selecting the battery saving option. Increasing the keepalive seems to solve the issue.

Have you taken any steps towards solving your issue? Which?

in /etc/openvpn/server.conf:

Change to keepalive 1800 3600

Yup, I don't really see any issue with changing the keepalive. Do you want to create a PR?
