OpenVPN shuts off, needs manual turning off and on to restore
Hi team
So for about 5 days now, OpenVPN shuts off randomly. Basically the client is unable to connect with a request timeout error message. Checking if 1194 port is open results in an error.
But as soon as you access the controller, go into the OpenVPN instance, you turn it off, give it 5 seconds and your turn it back on - everything returns back to normal for... almost 24 hours. Then this scenario repeats itself, we go in, solve it, et cetera.
This is what we have on the logs (the screenshot above).
This is happening to about 6 of the 13 controllers we are currently managing. All of them are updated to the latest version and the issue started 2 day before TP-Link issued the latest update.
Let me know if you are experiencing this as well, or if you have some work around. Thank you.
P.S. I don't know why attaching the image sets it up above the text ?!?!

@laurentiu907 This is WITH the beta firmware mentioned above?

Without the beta, just same as always.
This is why I'm saying that I'm almost 100% sure that this has something to do with TP-LINK.
Every now and then, the OpenVPN server syncs/handshakes something with/to some remote server. All ER605 do that, but only these firmware versions are having a hard time keeping this sync up and running. Once that remote machine glitches, all affected controllers crash the OVPN service.
Once again.. check my uptime logs and confirm with your detected downtimes adjusted by timezone. I'm trying to prove that all go down at the same time. At least the ones that I'm managing, out of 11 total, only these two crash the OVPN server, and exactly at the same time.
Thank you!

Hello Ethan,
I was going to test the beta but it was removed. Is there another beta available to possibly fix the OpenVPN issue?
