Package: openvpn
Version: 2.4.0-6
Severity: bug
Dear Maintainer,
Since Debian 9, OpenVPN does not start automatically on boot if the
instance is bound to a specific IP configured in /etc/network/interfaces:
Socket bind failed on local address [AF_INET] Cannot assign requested
address
The reason is OpenVPN starts before networking. Adding the following 2
lines to /lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service solves the problem:
[Unit]
...
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
Best regards
Patrick
