      Had initial issues with the 23.01 upgrade on our SG-3100 but the work-arounds provided here solved that and all has been well for 50+ days now.
      Today however our OpenVPN tunnels are startin to fail out of the blue.
      I have installed the patches package and the SG-3100 recommended patch and rebooted the devices. After the reboot the tunnels were up for a couple of hours but have now started to fail again with the following in the logs:

      Apr 21 13:33:02	openvpn	81114	Exiting due to fatal error

        I have now tried stopping both OpenVPN tunnels and restarted them one after another and they are now both up again. Not sure what the issue is but at least I now have a way to get the link up.
        I will see if the die again in a couple of hours...
