Hello

I have a setup with some site to site OpenVPN tunnels which require static routing (ie to subnets “behind” the Ovpn.

Everything works perfectly except that sometime the Ovpn tunnel will go down and will become “unreachable” in the static routes. When it reconnects the route remains down and I have to manually establish it… which is obviously not a reliable way to maintain it.

What is the “proper” solution in such cases ?

At ovpn server side, there is an parameter routes on the /ppp secret row, where you can specify a comma separated list of destination gateway metric tuples. These items are added to the routing table when the client represented by that /ppp secret row connects.

But I'm not sure I've answered your actual question?

Maybe - let me give it a try (it might be all I need it this works every time a client connects)
