[Bug] rutx 07.05 openvpn status incorrect

Hello. I have an Openvpn server on a debian machine. I have a teltonika rutx that is client of this server. The configuration is site to site.

[Bug] RUTX11 RUTX_R 00.07.05 OpenVPN Status Incorrect

After upgrading to the latest firware, OpenVPN Client connections on the web interface show “Disconnected” even though I can verify that the VPN connection is established and matched the parameters from the web interface. On reboot, the OpenVPN connection is established as expected, but the web interface still shows “Disconnected” and Remote IP Address: “-” but the Logs link below opens the correct / latest logs.

I’m using an RUT360 with firmware 7.06.1, which was upgraded from 7.04. It looks like this bug may affect RUTX routers as well, and likely RUT240’s.
I upgraded the router firmware, then factory reset the device, and loaded a previous config.
As discussed in these posts, the OpenVPN connection was established fine, but the Status reported disconnected.
One posts suggestion was to factory reset the device and build the config from scratch, which if the device is remote simply isnt practical.
Instead, I SSHed to the device, deleted the OpenVPN client completely, and rebuilt that only. This re-established the tunnel and the Status was then correctly showing Connected.

And this reply is to say that the issue did affect the RUT240 after it was rebooted, and the same solution worked fine.
