Upstream OpenVPN has two unit files, one for servers, one for clients: Have you tested whether these unit files work better? ** Bug watch added: community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ #462

Doing as the OP suggested does work. the following modification of lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service allows the AWS xenial instance to reboot with openvpn service enabled $ diff -u /lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service roles/openvpn_server/files/openvpn@.service ---

I tested that theory of modifying openvpn.service with network- online.target to no avail. Can confirm this issue in ubuntu/images/hvm- ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20160610 (ami-d06a90b0) as well. Will try modifying openvpn.@service as suggested by OP to see if that resolves. -- You

Simon, Yes, the instance I used as a test was using DHCP. AWS is a bit odd in that sense since, for all intents and purposes, your instance has a static internal IP address that persists across reboots. However, the instance thinks it's using DHCP. It would be as if you configured DHCP on the

Simon, The configuration was more or less the same, just different port numbers. Here they are for documentation purposes. Again, the only differences are the protocol, and the IP pools. UDP Config: port 1618 proto udp dev tun ca /etc/openvpn/openvpnudp-files/ca.crt cert
