23.1.7 causes the openvpn server to crash (in some instances)

[eugenmayer]

AFAICS this is related to the upgrade to OpenVPN 2.6.3, which is included in 23.1.7 (compared to 2.5.8 in 23.1.6) - the server does crash for us (the entire daemon) when linux clients connect (about 100). 2.5.8 does work just fine combined with 23.1.6

One has to downgrade opnsense to 23.1.6 to use OpenVPN 2.5.8, since it seems like 23.1.7 changed the config for OpenVPN (so it is compatible with 2.6.3?)

I did not find any logs on how the OpenVPN server crashed, even with verb9. The daemon was just killed after a couple of clients connected OR after a specific time (30 seconds).
