      Hello,

      I saw a lot of strings like this in the log but noticed just now:

      Apr 6 17:42:46 php-fpm 68235 /rc.openvpn: OpenVPN: One or more OpenVPN tunnel endpoints may have changed its IP. Reloading endpoints that may use VLAN4_TUNNELV4.
      Apr 6 17:42:45 check_reload_status updating dyndns VLAN4_TUNNELV4

      First of all, VLAN4_TUNNELV4 is a GIF tunnel.
      Secondly, GIF tunnels are static. Why there are should be any "reloads"?
      And the last one thing, ahem, a dyndns update for GIF tunnel?

        When the interface comes up, it goes through the same process as a dynamic gateway, it doesn't matter that it's static. The fact it's logging those things just means it's checking whether anything needs to be done. Yes you can bind a dyndns update to a gif tunnel if you want, you must not, so it just checked and did nothing.
