After closing the lid of my laptop, and reopening it (this only causes the screen to shut down, according to the power manager), my OpenVPN fails to work. I can connect to the server and everything, but everything just gets stuck on resolving host.
Once I restart the laptop, everything works again.
This is probably a client-side issue, as everything works fine on my phone.

I'm using CentOS 64 bit, basically used this tutorial to set it up:
http://safesrv.net/install-openvpn-on-centos/
It's a really strange and irritating issue, as I either have to restart my laptop every time I close my lid or just leave it open.
