Comment:

I've trimmed all comments out of your config file .... and there are several things to pick on here.

Of those most likely causing this issue are (which you should remove): 

resolv-retry infinite    # This is the default
remap-usr1 SIGTERM       # This is just odd
connect-retry-max 2      # No clear reason for this
single-session           # No clear reason for this, it will just disconnect and exit on first failure after first successful connection
tls-exit                 # No clear reason for this, it will just disconnect and exit on first TLS error

Others you need to reconsider are:

  • chroot /etc/openvpn: That is a very odd directory to chroot into. Did you by chance mean cd /etc/openvpn instead?
  • ca, cert and key: Those files are located in /root in your setup. They belong somewhere under /etc/openvpn
  • status: Do you really intend to use that file for anything? If not, don't configure it.
