Title: [SOLVED] Pinger no longer starting on OpenVPN gateway after 22.7.7 update
Post by: muchacha_grande on November 03, 2022, 01:57:01 PM
Updated to 22.7.7 and pinger is not starting on that gateway.

General log says: Error  opnsense /status_services.php: The DARSA_VPNV4 monitor address is empty, skipping.

The gateway is dynamic and it should be used as monitor address unless other one is explicitly specified.

I think it simply means the monitor address is empty because the gateway address is. There hasn't been changes around this code in ages. Relevant bit that fill the monitor if not set:

Similar question about OpenVPN on reddit... makes me suspicious:

Might be OpenVPN related either by update or by

https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/14e14e502

https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/7658feb55c

Can you try to revert and see?

# opnsense-patch 7658feb55c 14e14e502

Upon further inspection this might be it: https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/9c5b266cb7c4

# opnsense-patch 9c5b266cb7c4

Can you confirm?

Hi @franco, the patch worked fine.

I had to restart OpenVPN and the Pinger started fine. Now is working as before the update.

Thank you very much and cheers...

Can confirm that the patch worked as well for my OpenVPN client I had running and that did not come back up with todays update.
