      Hi all,

      pfSense 2.4.2, OpenVPN Client and the Service Watchdog package monitoring OpenVPN.

      I have all my LAN traffic configured to go via OpenVPN and it's working well, however this morning the Internet went down and it was over an hour before I could log in to pfSense and restart the OpenVPN service.  Which fixed the problem.

      My question is how can I setup OpenVPN so that when this happens it can correct the problem itself?

      Here are the logs showing when it failed and me restarting at about 12:08.

      Ideas appreciated.

      TIA

      Greg
