Description

When establishing an OpenVPN client/server site to site in 21.05, if the OpenVPN client (on another box) makes any changes that causes a link down/up event, the OpenVPN server (on 21.05) service has to be restarted in a Peer to Peer Shared Key mode because the link down event shuts down the service with a SIGTERM.

Jul 3 16:48:38 openvpn 85989 SIGTERM[soft,exit-with-notification] received, process exiting

This means that once the OpenVPN client tries to re-establish, it fails to do so until the service is manually started back up. This can be worked around by setting up Service Watchdog to automatically "kick" the service back on, but I don't think this is intentional.
