Hi all,
Quick one .. I've got several OVPN connections established and working (confirmed by connections to WAN via 4G and from LAN); however, the dashboard and menu option (VPN > OpenVPN > Connection Status) are all giving "Unable to contact daemon Service not running?" even though they're definitely working.
Have gone through all the config and can't find any errors nor in the logs.
Am wondering whether this is a bug in 18.7 as it only appeared after the upgrade from 18.1.13_1.
Cheers

Hi,
I can confirm that this happened in the previous version 18.1.11 son it's not 18.7 only
The only thing that restablished the connections status was a reboot
Cheers

Tried rebooting multiple times, unfortunately doesn't solve the problem.
I did experience it sometimes in 18.1.11, which a reboot solved, this seems more permanent which is annoying

I too have see this problem since at least 18.1.10 possibly .9. The services show as down but they are not. Also I get notifications about rule errors. The PID numbers do not match so the servises must be manually killed. If you yry to restart the service an error is logged about tring to start an allready running service.

Apologies for being direct but could a member of the project acknowledge the issue and anything that I can provide to assist in resolving?
I'm struggling to accept that I need to dig through several menus and then the logs to ascertain that the VPN connections are working, where I should be able to get access to this information via the Dashboard.
Edit: Opened on Github Issues #2160

Fair enough, guess it's not a big issue and will leave it at that.
Shame really as in my "limited" posting previously, the project (people like Franco) were happy to help .. guess it's gone south as the popularity has grown.
Hope you guys get your issues fixed
