I have issues with my VPN connection dropping, or not starting back up

the VPN but its of course not as simple as restarting the VpnVM (I don't
think?). After some reading I added a line to my openvpn-client.ovpn:
resolv-retry infinite
but that doesn't seem to help the problem. Is there a way to restart
OpenVPN in the VpnVM with a command instead of haveing to either
shutdown or switch all VMs that are using the VpnVM (as a netvm), then
restarting the VpnVM (kind of a pain).
Thx
It depends on how you set up the VPN. If you used the Qubes doc
instructions then you would need to open a terminal and do something like:
$ sudo pkill openvpn
$ sudo /rw/config/rc.local
Its also possible to change the rc.local script so it runs openvpn from
a terminal window so you can easily see the status, stop it, etc.
OTOH, if you used instructions that include a systemd service like this:

...then you can simply use 'systemctl' functions like stop/start/status
to control openvpn.
