Public bug reported:
Hi,
there is a problem in 16.04(which comes with systemd) openvpn-2.3.10-1ubuntu2:
1)openvpn starts before physical interfaces are up
2)and because of this cloud-init(configuration script for all clouds: AWS,
gcloud, azure etc) thinks that tun0 is the main interface(few syslog lines are
attached).
3) cloud-init then tries to manage tun0 via
/etc/network/interfaces.d/50-cloud-init.cfg
like:
auto tun0
iface tun0 inet dhcp
4) which obviously results in a failure to bring up networking:
dhclient[818]: Unsupported device type 65534 for "tun0"
and
localhost systemd[1]: networking.service: Main process exited, code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE
Because of this, in Ubuntu 16.04 on AWS(I actually checked on AWS) if
you install and configure openvpn it works well before reboot, and after
reboot instance is not reachable via network.
There are 2 possible solutions: fix cloud-init, however, if you think about it,
it just iterates through interfaces and it has to take interfaces that are
already UP(or default to eth0 if nothing is up). Because, most likely, those
interfaces are important.
The second way is to start openvpn after networking is configured and up. I
think this way makes more sens(hence creating this report in openvpn package).
It is unlikely that you'll be able to use tunnels before physical network is
UP, anyway.
I suggest adding
After=networking.service
into [Unit] section /lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service
