Hi Jeroen,
Are you also using Yealink phones? Do you have a copy of the OpenVPN
client config for your phones? I posted mine here, but the Yealink
support people say that the settings are correct and should work without
problems:

I took a closer look at it and I do see the following messages in the
OpenVPN server log whenever someone reports a "bad" call:

A description of this can be found here:
https://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2007-07/msg00104.html
Is this what you meant by the key renegotiation disrupts the calls? If so,
it seems the solution might be to set "reneg-sec 86400" (only renegotiate
once per day) in both the client and server configs?
Thanks,
Andrew
