One server out of 5 keeps stopping
-
I have 5 OpenVPN server instances (for a site-to-site star topology). One site keeps losing its connection and when I check the main firewall, I see that the OpenVPN service has stopped. I have not been able to find any reason for the stop in the logs.
Any known issues? Where else can I look?

Check the logs for hints.Or even the client settings.
I suspect, that the client is sending an explicit-exit-notify. This prompts the server to shutdown and ends up in the shown state.

@viragomann I don't see any mention of it in the logs. I changed Exit Notify on the client to disabled and I will see if that fixes it. If find it odd that I haven't had that issue at any of my other sites.

If logging is enabled, where should be any entry in the log though regarding the server went down.
Either in the OpenVPN log if the server was shut down in due form, or in the system log if it crashed.
