First of, thanks for the OpenVPN implementation. I have it configured and it is working well.

It appears the router does not have an internal clock that can survive reboots. By reboots I mean also simply changing certain settings appears to restart the router and reset the time (Dec 31 @ 18:00).

I notice that on restart it can take 40 seconds or so before the NTP service runs and the clock/date to be properly set. I also notice the OpenVPN server starts before the NTP client runs and the time is set. OpenVPN will not work unless the time on the client and server systems match.

It is just a minor nuisance and it does resolve itself (though not immediately after times are sync'd), but would it be difficult to have the NTP client run before the OpenVPN service?

Is this something I can configure myself?
