Recently I've noticed that when my OpenVPN provider server stops working, my two devices that use the VPN lose their internet access. The router's OpenVPN client status stays in a state of "connecting" and the devices aren't routed via the WAN (which I'd love), despite "Block routed clients if tunnel goes down" being set to No and a "Strict" DNS configuration.
Am I missing anything in the configuration? I'm using a pretty simple setup on an RT-AC68U, and the only non-standard thing I can think of is a redundant wan-start script that makes sure OpenVPN client 1 is restarted (I have previously had issues with Startup on WAN working). Policy rules only have two lines specifying that each manual device IP should be routed to VPN if destination is '0.0.0.0', assuming that everything else goes to WAN by default.
Apart from that, everything's working beautifully and otherwise loving the firmware's OpenVPN implementation!
