I hope this is the correct place to post this.
Basically i'm trying to run vpn through a socks proxy. Now this works fine in Windows 7 for me but when i try it in Linux it fails with
Code:
Mon Jun 17 23:26:26 2013 [<redacted>] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
Mon Jun 17 23:26:26 2013 SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting
Mon Jun 17 23:26:26 2013 Restart pause, 10 second(s)
I've tested with Ubuntu 12.x, 13.x and also Debian 7.0. I've tested with the default openvpn 2.2 from the repositories and by compiling 2.3. But i end up with the same error.
Here is my config file.

Using Linux and socks is really essential to me and i'm really clueless about this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
