Public bug reported: In /lib/system/system/openvpn@.service currently you will find the following ->
[Service] Type=notify ... ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon ovpn-%i --status /run/openvpn/%i.status 10 --cd /etc/openvpn --script-security 2 --config /etc/openvpn/%i.conf --writepid /run/openvpn/%i.pid However, based upon the current upstream configuration and https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/commit/c5931897ae8d663e7e6244764fc6379d7b4740f3#diff-f5cb7097e26fd94b88fc0f70059eb90fR14 , it would seem that it is incorrect to specify the Type as notify and set `daemon`. ** Affects: openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809576 Title: 18.04 seems to have a broken openvpn server configuration (template) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1809576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
