Hey all, i just configured my openvpn server on an Debian Stretch, if i start openvpn with: [code] $: openvpn --config server.conf [/code] it starts without any problems an all clients can connect, but i have an open ssh with running the service so if i disconnect the server stops. if i try to get it startet by system like: [code] $: service openvpn start [/code] nothin hapens it doesnt read the server.conf in /etc/openvpn/server.conf but why ?!? i can't find any reason because the config works well and has no issues only the service deamon doesnt seems to be reading my server.conf any ideas? greets Thhunder edit: my openvpn version is: OpenVPN 2.4.0

Hey all,
i just configured my openvpn server on an Debian Stretch, if i start openvpn with:

$: openvpn --config server.conf

it starts without any problems an all clients can connect, but i have an open ssh with running the service so if i disconnect the server stops.

if i try to get it startet by system like:

$: service openvpn start

nothin hapens it doesnt read the server.conf in /etc/openvpn/server.conf but why ?!? i can't find any reason because the config works well and has no issues only the service deamon doesnt seems to be reading my server.conf

any ideas?

ok i resolved my problem by myself.
I had to Restart the systemd so it reads the config files correctly to start my openvpn server.

Thx to all who looked up for my problem :-)
