OpenVPN not reliable, use VPNCHECK
-
I have two sites with 24h DAIP. After hours of troubleshooting, it was horrible for me to find out that openVPN doesn’t work properly.
So I have build this simple loop to check the connection and perform a reconnect if it necessary.#!/bin/sh clear vcheck () { echo "vcheck" PTEST=`ping -c 1 -t 1 192.168.0.254 | grep "100% packet loss" | awk '{print $1;}'` HPID=`cat /var/run/openvpn_client0.pid` if [ "X${PTEST}" != "X" ] ; then echo "" echo "No connection to Heinsberg!" echo "" kill $HPID sleep 5 openvpn --config /var/etc/openvpn_client0.conf else echo "" echo "Connected to Heinsberg!" echo "" fi vwait } vwait () { echo "vwait" sleep 30 vcheck }How can I start that loop automatically, after reboot and established pppoe session?

Try the latest snapshot.
That will start my loop? :D
Ok in the latest snapshot are some improvements, I will give it a try. But how can I start my Script on boot? ::) It should be starded as a daemon… :'( -
You can start custom stuff on boot/filterreload by using hidden config.xml options: http://faq.pfsense.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=10&id=38&artlang=en&highlight=hidden

Look in the package area. There is a rc.d thread that is a sticky.
