OVPN service keeps crashing every day

[Alternativend]

Hello community,
im quite new to OPNSENSE at all and i have a really annoying problem which i have never had before with Linux so far. No baiting, i just don´t know where to look or what to do.

The problem is, that i have a firewall appliance with Opnsense (recent release, everything up2date) on which the Openvpn server keeps crashing after a few days. Mostly it´s running for about one day. I cant even restart it from the WebUI, i must reboot in order to make it work again.

Here is the log on level 3:

Any ideas on this?

After killing the service im able to start it again, but i need a more reliable solution .

...if you don't find the underlying cause, maybe something along the line of Example 2 here:
