Alias use in OpenVPN - Broken on Reboots (and possibly other edge cases)

stephenw10

What sort of aliases are they?

galcorlo

AliasChild1=192.168.0.0/16
AliasChild2=10.0.0.0/8
AliasParent=AliasChild1, AliasChild2

All children are either an IP address or subnet, none of the children contain further aliases.

AliasParent is the only entry used in OpenVPN server's IPv4 Local network(s) field.

Restarting OpenVPN or saving without any modification AliasParent fix the configuration replacing the alias.

Hm, so only IPs and subnets, nothing that needs to be resolved? That should load as soon as pf does, which should be before the openvpn resyn at boot.

Do you see any errors in the OpenVPN or system logs when this happens? Or any sort of difference in the process ordering?
