      ![alt text](image url)Up to version 2.6.0, it works normally without bugs. The new versions 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 report inconsistency according to the logs.

      Situation 1:
      When an internet link goes down, the OpenVPN BGP redundancy converges traffic according to metrics (10 > 30 > 50) - okay.

      Situation 2:
      When the link is restored, the process of reconverging the traffic (50 > 30 > 10) does not work because the tunnel goes offline (service not running?).

      Note: Workaround applied = stopping and starting the FRR BGP service, the tunnels come back online.

      Topology: VPN Site to Site OpenVPN + FRR BGP
      Tunnel 1 | BGP metric 10
      Tunnel 2 | BGP metric 30
      Tunnel 3 | BGP metric 50

      LOGS: /var/log/openvpn.log

      fw01.local openvpn 6656 - - FreeBSD ifconfig failed: external program exited with error status: 1
      fw01.local openvpn 6656 - - Exiting due to fatal error

      ifconfig: "Does not display the IP addressing of the network tunnel."

      ovpnc2: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
      options=80000<LINKSTATE>
      groups: tun openvpn
