GW_WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ***down*** openvpn never recovers
-
I had a client give me a call today and said they could not connect to the VPN(site-site openvpn config).
I connected to the client side and looked at the services and Openvpn said stopped. I clicked to start and immediately they were back working again. I am trying to figure out what has happened. From looking at my logs it looks like it somehow lost connection with the ISP gateway. FYI - the client could still browse the internet with no issues. The problem is that my Openvpn connection never recovered and I had to manually start it again. Is this a bug or is there a setting I need to change? Also, I am connected to a bridged router using PPoE credentials. I also get "dhclient: FAIL" in my log ever minute or so.
Help would be appreciated,
Rhett
