Why doesn't VPN connection re-initiate when dropped?

torontob

Hi everyone,

I have two VPN clients setup on my pfSense 2.0 router. The clients won't re-connect if the internet connection is dropped or if there is a power loss. I have to go into the router, browse to OpenVPN and Client settings and then press SAVE for the connection to re-initiate. This is what I have in addition configuartion section:

persist-key; persist-tun; keepalive 10 120

This is what I see in logs:

apinger: ALARM: VIRTUALVPN(172.16.0.9) *** down ***
apinger: ALARM: OPENVPN(172.16.5.5) *** down ***
apinger: ALARM: VIRTUALVPN(172.16.0.9) *** down ***

Any help is much appreciated.
