When [either] of my NordVPN OpenVPN Clients drop, they NEVER come back up.

Hey

Is there a tweak or something to delay or optimize restart time/sequence?
Only "issues" I see are;

openvpn_client1   Could not determine IPv4/IPv6 protocol

openvpn_client2   RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: de679.nordvpn.com:1194 (Name does not resolve)

Like I said, when I reboot, works fine. But when it goes down, these are the errors it gives.

If you configured DNS servers that are only reachable via VPN or force DNS queries through VPN, then once the link is down you have a chicken and egg problem ...

Under System:Settings:General; I have No DNS Servers
Under Services:DHCP:LAN; I have No DNS Servers

I am running AdGuard [on opnsense] Port 53, and it's Upstream Server is 192.168.5.1:5353
I am running UnboundDNS 5353 which has DNS over TLS :   1.1.1.1   853   cloudflare-dns.com

This above config works perfectly fine when not using VPN, but the VPN's won't reconnect after it drops.. But it does connect initially, so..

Does this info help you any?
btw, I did have dns servers under system-settings-general and still had issue

I just noticed this; When the client(s) drop I can never ever get them back up if I stop, restart, change (tcp to udp) the OpenVPN:Client.. They ONLY come back up when the Interface(s) are disabled then enabled

Well something is not right. When I run in Docker container it’s up for days or until I stop if. Same opvn file contents in Opnsense it drops like every hour to 3 hours and won’t come back up.
