      Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?  I didn't see these prior to 2.1.4.
      This is right after a reboot.

      I will also sometimes see them when the tls key renews.

      When this happens the connection stays up for awhile but eventually goes down, I think when the tls renewal occurs.

        That's normal and it's from the Dashboard or Status > OpenVPN checking on the daemon. Your "verb" level is higher than it needs to be if you're seeing that in the logs.

          Thank you very much.  :)

          I thought maybe it was, I enabled higher logging than before to help troubleshoot the problems I've been having.  I think you'll agree it looks suspicious, especially to someone who really doesn't know what they're doing.  ;D

          Thanks again.
