Other than a reconnect after about 5 days one time, it has stayed connected. And the key point here is that it did just reconnect after detecting that the remote end was not responding to pings. The VZ modem would get into this situation and spend the rest of its days in an unusable state until it was power cycled. Conveniently (well, exactly the opposite of convenient) we had a comcast outage the day after this was set up and it took over the traffic almost unnoticed by the masses other than being a bit slower. No connection dropping like the VZ modem did every time. The overall bandwidth is lower than I was able to muster with VZ (about 5Mbps vs 9Mpbs with external antennas) but the stability more than makes up for it. If there was a way to get OpenVPN client to use both CARP redundancy and gateway group, I'd never have to manually intervene when comcast goes down to switch it.
