I tried this to test: [Unit] (...) After=syslog.target network-online.target Wants=network-online.target It then worked. Can you give that a shot? Upstream adopted a mixed approach and split the services into a server and client part, and adopted different after/wants values for each (see https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/commit/28bd79ac980488dbfce2e8136287e38c6f35a043) I don't think we can take an approach as the above for a stable release update, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689833 Title: OpenVPN server does not start properly on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1689833/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
