      I am in the process of testing/configuring 3 pfsense 2.0 boxes to replace 3 watchguards at 3 different locations.

      I have everything up and running, but I am running into one problem that I cant seem to figure out.

      If OpenVPN site-to-site connections go down for whatever reason (interface goes down, client gets rebooted, etc.) it will not come back up until I reboot both the server and client.

      Is there something I need to set to fix this?  Is their a force refresh?

      Earlier I took down the interface on the OpenVPN Server which caused the link to go down, and it has yet to come back up.

            I set both the server and client to "any" and it still doesn't come back up until it gets rebooted.

            For example, the client machine was down for the weekend.  When I powered it back up the VPN would not come back up until I rebooted the server.
