interface removed before "down" script is called

Post by notme » Wed Feb 24, 2016 4:26 pm

I setup a simple bridged vpn, works normal. Checking the logs, I noticed that OpenVPN tears down the interface before calling the script assigned to "down" assigned in config.

Log with the down.sh enabled

without down.sh

Not a problem, more an FYI. I just commented out the down script.

Seems like it should be the other way around.
