OpenVPN - Commiting config when OpenVPN peer/server not available makes commit hang
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG
Actions

Description

Using: vyos-1.2-rolling-201909260118-amd64.iso

If the VPN tunnel can't be established because the peer/server isn't available at the moment, the vtun interface never becomes registered with the kernel, which makes this code never end, and the commit hangs:

interface-openvpn.py:

while openvpn['intf'] not in interfaces():
    sleep(0.250) # 250ms

Perhaps add a form of timeout?
