Description

I have a gateway group VPNgways with WAN=Tier1, OPT1=Tier2. The OpenVPN servers and clients use interface VPNgways. They are happily using WAN at the time, as per VPNgways settings. Then I edit VPNgways to be OPT1=Tier1, WAN=Tier2 - save and apply.
Firewall rules are reloaded (and I think polciy-based routing changes are implemented on-the-fly OK). But the OpenVPN servers and clients are not re-evaluated to select the current highest tier gateway.
Note: later restarting the OpenVPN server and client services does not work - that only restarts the process, it doesn't rewrite the conf file. To get the change to be effective each server/client config needs an edit/save, or do a real WAN or OPT1 unplug/replug event, or reboot.
It would be nice for gateway groups tier changes to be implemented to OpenVPN on-the-fly.
