Hi Everyone,
i have a workin OpenVPN connection with my rutx50 as client to an external server with a dynamic ip-address. It works perfectly until the server side is offline or changes its real ipv4-address.
expected behaviour: the client(rutx50) disconnect automaticly and tries to reconnect multiple times. If no connection possible, the wan-connection works without the vpn-route.
actual behaviour: the client(rutx50) stays connected to an unreachable server and no wan-traffic is possible
For me this is a bug, because the only way to resume wan connection is to login to the rutx50 and stop or restart the OpenVPN connection.
My guess is that the router is trying to reconnect the VPN connection to the old destination address (IPv4) of the dynamic address, which no longer exists when it changes. Before reconnecting, the router would have to go into the WAN without the VPN route and update its DNS table.
Removing the “persist-tun” setting in my ovpn configuration ensures SOMETIMES that I am back on the WAN without a VPN route, but the client can no longer be reconnected afterwards and I need a router restart
Can u reproduce this?
Thanks in advance! :*
