I'm running Merlin's 384.9 and lately my OpenVPN Client has been disconnecting daily with "authentication failed" messages. But every time I log in to the router and click to turn it on, it authenticates fine. Sometime later, it's back to "authentication failed".

I seem to recall on an earlier Merlin build that I had discovered a switch (script?) that restarted the VPN every hour. I have searched but not been able to find it again. If anybody knows the work-around, I would appreciate your posting it, please?

Thank you!

Also, do a review of the configuration specified by your VPN provider in the event something changed on their end. You may need to modify your settings. I had a similar issue recently and a it has been working okay after making a minor tweek for a setting I had wrong.
