    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    FYI everyone this bug still exists.. It looks to be several years old, and happens on many different ASUS Merlin versions and devices. The way to reproduce is always the same: - router shuts down due to electricity outage (happens often in my area), OR the router is rebooted via the scheduled...

    @ColinTaylor I sent you another occurrence of this bug with full logs

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    It happened again. Power outage and router restart with VPN disalbed (even though it says OpenVPN Server ON in the Merlin GUI). The only fix is to turn it OFF and ON again. This time I have all the logs, /tmp/syslog.log and /tmp/syslog.log-1. Can I private message them to you? Not sure if logs...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    When I turned off the VPN and on again, it worked. Here's what happened in the log: May 5 07:26:06 rc_service: httpds 421:notify_rc stop_vpnserver1 ... May 5 07:26:48 rc_service: httpds 421:notify_rc restart_chpass;restart_vpnserver1 ... May 5 07:26:51 ovpn-server1[6635]: ovpn-up 1 server...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    There's nothing of interest in the /tmp/syslog.log other than these lines: May 5 01:02:31 dnsmasq-dhcp[412]: DHCPOFFER(br0) 192.168.2.77 00:5d:59:b3:74:75 May 5 01:02:32 dnsmasq-dhcp[412]: DHCPDISCOVER(br0) 00:5d:59:b3:74:75 May 5 01:10:49 miniupnpd[1726]: SoapMethod: Unknown...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    I realize I should have sent this, but by the time I checked the log was wiped. I'll provide this next time it happens. I assume /tmp/syslog.log is the log on the router.

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    It keeps happening. Due to many power outages in my area, I'm always forced to log in after every power outage, turn off the VPN, and turn on the VPN again. I wonder if the stock firmware (non-Merlin) has this bug too? I'd gladly switch just to avoid this bug. This is what the client side log...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    How do I obtain server logs? I can ssh in and get them from a system file, or I can get them from the UI, thanks for any advice.

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    I can reproduce this quite frequently now, just by rebooting the router (by clicking the Reboot button in the UI). It also happens during a power cycle sometimes. I'm on the latest firmware 386.7_2

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    Yes, sorry, I mean to say that the VPN server doesn't start functionally, but according to the UI it is running. The green switch for VPN Server 1 shows ON, even though no connections are accepted.

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    Actually the issue is not that the OpenVPN server is not started. The issue is that the OpenVPN server is running but does not accept new connections. I can also confirm that it's not related to NTP or incorrect system time, since this occurs even when the router time is set correctly. The only...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    @eibgrad I can confirm that the OpenVPN bug on Merlin is not related to NTP. I followed your suggestion and set static IP's for the NTP servers under Administration->System, and rebooted the router. The router started up with the correct time (today's date of July 22, 2022, not the incorrect...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    What would be a good static NTP ip address to use? As you know, ip addresses are not static which is why hostnames are used.
