Thanks! I tried the following.
My openVPN client is ovpnc3. If I do the "ifconfig ovpnc3 down" - under the interfaces it shows it as inactive. Although the client connection to VPN server seems still active. "ifconfig ovpnc3 up" brings the interface back up, but still with the same VPN connection.

What I want is to reconnect the openVPN client as I have multiple VPN servers defined with "select random server" activated.

Hi!

I did read a lot of information, but can not figure out the following. I have two openVPN clients running. I would like to restart one of them using cron.

I find that I can restart whole openVPN service, but can not figure out, how to restart single client? It can be nicely done manually from GUI, but is it possible to schedule the restart?

Thanks,
Martins

NO WAY!

Started to play around with HW. Changed Video to older one, removed one of my Intel cards (I have two of them) - no luck.

Took out my old PC and decided to try on a bit weaker HW (somehow I remember myself testing PFsense on it) And just before switching PC - remembered BIOS warning about low battery. Since the batteries are the same for both PC   - just switched them.

And here we are - my intel card get the address from DHCP...

Hmm...

Did some tests with my OracleVM. I have OPNsense installed. To be clear, it was installed with adapter "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)". And it get the IP ok. If I switch adapter to "Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM)", then I also did not get the IP from DHCP.
I will try to install OPNsense with 2 adapters, with both cards and will check the results and logs.

EDIT: Wrong. If installed with both cards, both get IP correctly.

@Jos Thanks for your comment! No, the connection is not connected to MAC. The PC was connected with the same cards also before (tested ClearOS) and intentionally I did not spoof MAC. (Just to be clear - if MAC address spoofing field  is left empty, OPNsense uses the cards original MAC?)

I will try to install it again in evening and will check the logs. Yesterday evening was too late, to investigate deeper and I need to set it working... :) So I just install IPFire and decided to gather more information during the day... 

Hi! I am looking around for the new firewall/router for my network. Tested some distros and yesterday want to try OPNsens, since the feature set looks very close for what I want.

Ok. But here is my problem. I installed the OPNsense from OPNsense-16.1.8-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img
All went nice, it recognized my network cards. Also auto link recognition works. But it failed to receive IP address from my ISP. I know the link is working (before was other Linux distro without problems and I also connected my PC directly and received IP)

I also installed PFsense - and there also is the same problem! So I suppose it could be the FreeBSD/kernel problem?

Now I test IPFire, and there the card works without problems.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts, suggestions...
