Description

If tap interface used other side of the tunnel never will be pinged.
But openvpn server instance by default sends 

Mar 9 21:35:51     openvpn[32888]: client1/a.b.c.d:34172 SENT CONTROL [client1]: 'PUSH_REPLY,route a.b.c.d 255.255.255.0,route-gateway a.b.c.d,ping 10,ping-restart 60,ifconfig a.b.c.d 255.255.255.0' (status=1)

As result we have reconnect one a minute

I guess it could be changed for keepalive and UI option for ping and reinitialization.
