Description

Not sure if this is strictly an OpenVPN client gateway issue or a gateway up/down issue in other scenarios as well, rather than making a singular fix for OpenVPN gateways.

Filter Reload seems to be set to happen when an OpenVPN client is enabled, but happens too soon in the process based on my observation, documented in the thread below.
And, it does not happen at all when an OpenVPN gateway uplink is restored in the background (as best I can infer from the thread below) when the OpenVPN client has already been enabled.

Here's the problem and a workaround to automatically reload the filter via /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup , though there may be a more appropriate operative manner to accomplish this:
