Under certain circumstances (especially with instable mobile connections) we are experiencing OpenVPN crash loops on RUT955 (Firmware versions 6.x) like
Most of the time the system log does not contain enough information as the old entries have already have been removed, and in many cases it is possible to remotely connect to the devices only after a reboot. But in some cases we have been able at least to confirm that the openvpn process is not running any more.
Even with a daily reboot this may lead to circumstances where one may never (or only on rare occurences) be able to connect to a device because of a previous openvpn "crash". I am aware of this (and several other topics), but in my understanding a service such as openvpn should always be restarted (if necessary with an appropriate delay), and as far as I understand procd this should be possible. If one does not want an infinite retry it is possible to configure this via the openvpn resolve retry parameter.
I am glad for any input if there is an alternative that ensures openvpn to run infinitly or to avoid crash loops respectively.
