No default routes configured, I can SSH in remotely only via IPv6, even after adding those missing default routes manually I cannot access pretty much anything behind the firewall. Kindly provide a way to downgrade to some previous working snapshot ASAP. :-(
Err, "only via IPv4". Whatever.
- Subject changed from 2.3.3 built on Fri Sep 23 11:34:50 CDT 2016 - totally broken networking to 2.3.3 built on Fri Sep 23 11:34:50 CDT 2016 - segfaulting processes result in non-functional system
- Status changed from New to Confirmed
Setup a new VM as a clean test. Works on a snap from the 22nd, same one updated to the 23rd breaks in various ways. The network layer is fine but PHP and other things are segfaulting. It would appear that on systems with non-functioning networks, PHP is crashing before or during the network setup, which is why the symptoms vary.

All the crashes here seem to be OpenVPN related.
Calling openvpn_resync_all() causes php-cgi to crash on boot, which unfortunately screws the rest of network setup.

Going to VPN - OpenVPN menu causes php-fpm to segfault.

As a follow up - it appears that after openvpn_resync_all(), nothing else below that function call could run from the /etc/rc.bootup script -- since almost everything is plopped into that one script that crashed php-cgi.
Shouldn't this thing be a whole lot more robust/failsafe? As in, e.g. not sticking almost the entire boot process into one script which - when crashed somewhere at the top of the calls stack, renders the system very much useless? So, the core of the issue doesn't seem to be resolved at all, can happen anytime again, with amount of breakage depending on how early in the script it happens.
Do you want a separate bug for that?

I'm not using OpenVPN, nor accessing the menu, but I still get a segfault that looks similar to what you showed. I've filed #7819

Yeah this old bug should be left well alone, completely different code base.
