      Hi,

      as mentioned in this post, I have a site-to-site OpenVPN connection between siteA (server with WAN IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and siteB (client with WAN IP yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy) on the tunnel network ccc.ccc.ccc.0 which drops and re-establishes at least once every one to two weeks unfortunately.

      It seems that the WAN interface em0 at either of the sites is temporarily going down whenever this happens, e.g.:

      Jul 21 14:19:58 siteA kernel: em0: link state changed to DOWN

      I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this isse, i.e. how to find out whether this is an ISP, a configuration/SW or a hardware issue. Both sites have the same ISP and the same model/type of appliance running.

      Here's an extract of siteA's system log at one of the drops:
      system_siteA.txt

      Is there any other log I can examine to find out what the root-cause of this mulit-site WAN link outages is?

      BR
