I had the same problem with a static ip. I think the problem is that openvpn starts before ip-binding does. Even when openvpn is the last script in the rc, the problem occurs furthermore.
I solved the problem by removing the line "local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx." out of the server.conf. -- [karmic] openvpn service starts before dhclient https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvpn in ubuntu. -- 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
