Hi Carlo,

It supports both. The client support can be disabled, but I'm leaving it
enabled on purpose to allow people to experiment with stuff like this
;-)

Ok, makes sense.

I was thinking that OpenVPN was perhaps throwing some error before it
got a chance to setup the log output file (since the openvpn-debug
redirect is handled by the shell just before starting openvpn, it should
always work). But if there is no output in there, openvpn is probablly
not outputting anything.

Which log was truncated? How can you tell?

What error did you see, then?

Hmm, I don't think I understand exactly how these delays help here.
AFAIK the boot is not performed in parallel, so while this script is
sleeping, there is no other stuff running in the background which would
cause openvpn to work after those 15 seconds (though I'm not completely
sure).

I expect the stable firmware to be released by the end of this year.
