Shorewall-init must start before networking and, in your configuration,
it will stop shorewall-lite and shorewall6-lite. So the fact that your
system 'heals itself' is no mystery at all, given that both services are
started later after networking has been started.

So you need to understand why 'stop' fails when openvpn isn't started.
