symptons: Open viscosity, select appropriate connection. Wait until connection resolves, get an IP address.
Use Microsoft Remote Desktop connection Client for Mac - Version 2.1.1 (110309)
Everything is fine for about 10-15 minutes.
Then connection goes dead. RDP client notices after about 5 minutes and reports connection lost.
If I try to connect it fails (cannot connect).
I see nothing indicative of problems in the Viscosity log.
If I terminate OpenVPN and reconnect everything is fine until it happens again. Here is a viscosity log of the issue occurring, note that it reports 'inactivity timeout' at 9:57 and restarts OpenVPN.
This occurs in tunnelblick as well.

I don't seem to have any other wireless problems generally speaking, just openVPN seems to drop randomly. Any advice or troubleshooting steps will be greatly appreciated.
