Hi Chris,

think there is still a problem.

When CARP goes to backup on let say pfsense#1, it stops openvpn and it start the openvpn on the new master let it name pfsense#2.

However, when we go back to Master on pfsense#1, it starts the openvon on pfsense#1. But why is it restarted on pfsense#2??? This causes me a lot of Problems, because the openvpn Clients try to reconnect and throw out the newly started Clients on pfsense#1.

But what is strange, is that the openvpn Clients on pfsense#2 are shown as stoped in the Services Status. The logs say something different, the are restarting because of inactivity. Even ps -ax Shows that the Clients are still running...

What Comes to my mind, is that openvpn_restart('client', $Settings) does not really stop / terminate the openvpn Clients. So in the rc.carpbackup the command openvpn_restart only tiggers the restart of openvpn Clients, because they are currently running. How can you stop them? Something like

+openvpn_stop('client', $settings);
-openvpn_restart('client', $settings);

Kind regards

Trey

Maybe the same problem with OpenVPN Client Connections:
We have a Master/Backup CARP setup with OpenVPN-Client Connections.
The OpenVPN-Client Connections are only active on the current active node.
If the Master goes down, the Client-Connection ist started on the Slave.
But when the Master comes up again the client connection on the Master is up and on the Backup down... but it is not working.
I have to restart it manually on the Master then it is working again.

In 2.2.6-RELEASE everything works fine!
