OpenVPN client event scripts not running

[Softail]

In order for the openvpn-event script to run for the client connection, I needed an openvpnclient1.postconf

echo "script-security 2" >> $CONFIG
echo "up /usr/sbin/updown.sh" >> $CONFIG
echo "down /usr/sbin/updown.sh" >> $CONFIG

which I cribbed from the server config but it required the full path for some reason. I have no idea if the server-security 2 is necessary or not.

The documentation makes it sound like the script should be running for the client but it doesn't seem to be without this.

I started to implement this now. If you still need this to make it work, in my case worked using below rows into custom configuration on VPN page:

script-security 2
up /jffs/scripts/up.sh
down /jffs/scripts/down.sh

All the best,
