      Every now and then my OpenVPN server crashes, and I found out it happens, when the WAN DHCP IP address is renewed (but not changed). From the syslog at 9:50 the WAN renews and then ovpn1s goes down. I manually restart it 5 @ 11:05

      Is there a way to prevent OpenVPN server from crashing when WAN IP is refreshed? (it is a fixed IP but dynaically allocated).
